Best therapist ever

Dr. Petzel is one of a kind! I had a tough time being introspective and she gently nudged me along in the most loving way. She truly cares about my growth and healing and gives practical ways on how to live my best life.
Bonus! She is willing to incorporate Jesus with my mental health. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Dr. Petzel has a lot of experience and it shows. She is the most competent counselor I have ever talked to, and I'm glad to have found her. She listens and she responds to dig into the heart of every issue and provide help at the root.
