I have only had a few sessions with Dr. T and she has already helped me so much. She is a wonderful listener and it blows me away how she can take my rambling jumbled thoughts and explain them to me in medical terms that really helps. Highly recommend.

I’ve been seeing Dr. T for a little bit now. She is very kind and considerate of my feelings, even when they’re kind of out there. She gives really good advice and does very well at active listening. She always seems to know when to ask questions or when to just let me vent. Out of all the counselors I’ve ever seen in my life, she is one of the best.

Dr. Harvey helped me on the first day of talking. She has given me tools that work very well. It isn't easy but they work. I believe she is an expert in the field. I feel very lucky to have been paired with her.
