I started my journey into therapy with Rhonda at a time when I was completely stuck in my life. She helped me see what I wanted and what I valued. I made major changes that were very much overdue and I would not have gotten there without her. She is an amazing therapist and I will always be grateful to her.

Rhonda has been nothing but amazing this whole time. I am so thankful to have met her. She is always quick to respond no matter the time of day. Anytime we talk she sends worksheets and tools to help me with certain things I’m struggling with at that time.

Rhonda has already helped me deal with some of the stress in my life in just a few sessions. She is always finding worksheets and meditations to suggest, and most importantly she actually listens to what I'm saying. I had bad experiences in the past with therapists but she is very accommodating and very easy to work with. I will be continuing sessions with her for as long as I need to.

Rhonda is straight forward, knowledgeable and genuine. If I had to pick the qualities in a therapist I wanted most, those would be it. She sends worksheets, videos, messages to help me work through my many issues. No one has listened to me the way that I have received from her! Would rate 10/10 every session.
