Thomas is very understanding and compassionate, sponsors a helpful conversation about what's going on and where to go with current issues.

I've only had a few sessions with Dr. Stewart, but so far he's been incredible. I've had less stellar past experiences with therapy, but he really put me at ease with asking about what I want to achieve with therapy and with giving strong advice to help with it. It really feels like he listens.
