I have been seeing Dr. Jaffe for 3 years. When I started therapy I was unhappy and confused and unable to sustain a personal relationship. After 3 years of hard work I feel like my life is turning around. I have a good job friends and have maintained a healthy relationship with my partner of 1 year. I owe this to Dr. Jaffe's compassionate care.
I immediately felt like I was in good hands w/ Dr. Jaffe. She made me feel at ease and comfortable in her presence.
