I was very hesitant about starting therapy and sharing my life with a stranger. However, Rhonda has been absolutely amazing. She makes me feel so comfortable and provides a great perspective on my experiences. Always enjoy our conversations.

This strides that I have made personally since I have started to see Rhonda has been amazing the way she says things the care she shows in the words she chooses she makes her words matter and has been beyond helpful I'm so grateful to have found this type of counseling and to have they connected with her there's not a specific word or even enough words that describes this feeling when it's a little too much I can just hop on my phone and be like hey Rhonda you got a Sunday available she rocks

Very understanding. It has not been long but has already helped provide me with information that is helping me have a healthier life.

Written by K.A. on Jun 04, 2021 after therapy with Rhonda for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, self esteem, and anger management

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.

Even though I have only had a handful of sessions, Rhonda has already given me multiple tools to help me that are highly relevant to my needs and I find myself starting to implement them in my daily life. Rhonda is a fantastic listener and I feel so comfortable talking with her and opening up in a genuine manner. I really look forward to our sessions and diving in to better understand myself and engage with the world in a more healthy way.

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.

I think Rhonda is amazing! She helps me a lot even when I don’t talk to her much and missed some sessions, she is there when I need her and I really appreciate that!! She does a good job and I like how she is into the whole holistic healing type deal that I’m in. I really appreciate her!

Rhonda is fantastic! She brings a wonderful energy into the session that I haven't had with other therapists. She listens and provides insightful feedback to help me work through my problems. I can't recommend her enough, as she's been very helpful in showing me the tools I need to be a more successful version of myself. Thank you Rhonda!

Rhonda is a great counselor. She brings the skills as a real-world and relatable style to our conversations. I like how she discerns what my issues are and we dive into them. From there, she makes good suggestions and holds me accountable.
