Dr. A is very understanding and knowledgeable. She does a great job listening but also challenging me at times. Often, she points out what I don't hear myself saying and challenges my perspectives in a respectful way. It has been a pleasure working with her and I look forward to continuing to walk on this healing journey.

Ms. Mary is amazing. I get to express myself an any feelings that I'm having. She helps and encourages me to figure why I feel or handle things the way I do and helps me to process my actions. She helps me set goals and plans to move forward in the things I feel like need. She extremely easy to talk to and reminds me of who I am in God and the things he wants for my life.

I like Marys’ input and insight. I like her approach to her therapy. She honestly reminds me of my mother and her friends. Caring advice, with the encouragement to think through the variables. And balance the emotions of the situation with the logic of the overall. That’s how I think and she basically coaches me through it.

Mary is most kind and easy to relate to. She is very open minded and made me feel comfortable breeching subjects that are delicate so that I do not feel embarrassed or ashamed, that is important to me as I have discovered that my issues are more complex than Irealized and I had to dig deep at certain times during our discussions to help her help me. I am glad to have found her!
