Shandrieka has been so helpful with my situation. She listens to what I say and responds so well, even if I go off into many tangents. She does an amazing job at remembering things that I have told her and it truly makes me feel like she cares. When the time comes to wrap up our conversation she doesn’t just abruptly end it, she makes sure that I know what to take away from the conversation which is amazing. I truly respect and appreciate her as a therapist!
