Honestly was skeptical that I’d be paired with a therapist I liked, but I got lucky with Walt. He has great insights, and feels like I have a coach for how to deal with my emotions. Very grateful for him, and would highly recommend.

Walt jumps right in and although we haven't had more than a single session together, I can tell he is invested in listening and helping me get some perspective on my issues I bring up.

My therapist Walter Neilson has been instrumental in helping me navigate a particularly difficult breakup and subsequent transition back to single life. Walter has always provided me with expert advice and non biased professional guidance through this difficult period.
