“Dr Verkhovsky was incredible! She is so kind, caring and understanding. One of my favorite parts of working with Dr. Verkhofsky has been her ability to make me make sense of the feelings I am experience and find my own personal bias. She has helped me grown immensely as a person: whether it be with regards to my friendships, romantic relationships, and familial relationships. Each week I look forward to meeting with Dr. Verkhofsky as I consider her a friend!”
