Philicia is thoughtful, caring, and honest - all the things I need when looking for a therapist. I was able to work through a lot in just a few sessions with her as she made me comfortable to share things I hadn’t even said out loud before. I am beyond grateful for her advice and counsel.

I have had a couple of sessions with Philicia and even in this short amount of time she understands exactly what I am going through and have gone through.
