Stormy has been great to work with. I feel she has a lot of experience and is very professional. She understands the issues I'm working through and has good feedback and tools to help.

Stormy is amazing! She really listens and gives you lots of ways to figure out the best way to work out your feelings and tramas that works best for you. She pushes you just enough to work through things but not so much you feel overwhelmed. She is willing to work with your schedule to find time for you. I highly recommend her!

Inquisitive, insightful, kind but not patronizing. I’m so grateful to be paired with an incredible therapist.

Stormy Filson has been a beacon of hope and sanity for me since I started having sessions with her last year. I was in horrible physical and emotional pain and needed solid help finding ways to cope that would put me on a path to overall wellness. I can't thank her enough!

Stormy is THE BEST! I look forward to therapy—as draining as it can feel come weeks—because I respect her so much! She’s so knowledgeable and good at what she does; I got really lucky having her as my therapist!

I have done counseling in person before with some very good counselors and Stormy is the real deal (even better than most I saw in person).
Stormy is exceptionally perceptive about what I need to talk about in any given session. She is very good at discerning where I have pain/anxiety in even just casual conversation and it always helps me when we explore those "landmines" together even if briefly.
I've experienced a lot of gaslighting/questioning myself/my judgement in my past and Stormy has really helped me heal. She trusts my interpretation of things and validates my reality. She gives me at least one actionable activity each week that has helped improve my sense of well-being and my relationships.
I'm confident Stormy is a skilled and compassionate counselor with a variety of clients. For background, I am a single, overworked professional nurse/mother with several teenage children and some conflict with my co-parent and my extended family. I primarily struggle with depression and anxiety. I can attest personally that Stormy has been a very good match for my situation. No implication she wouldn't be a great match for other clients/situations. Highly recommend. :)
