Sarah Touvell does a great job of helping me. She’s able to ask the right questions for me to view things more positively and I really like the worksheets she has sent me to recognize patterns in my own thinking.

Sarah is amazing! Definitely the best therapist I have had so far. She’s extremely kind and easy to talk to. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants someone to talk to and also make active plans to work through stress and anxiety. I also appreciate her support of lgbtq+ individuals and non traditional relationships.
