Didn't see Dr. Yang, I saw Dr. Kelsey Gao (was informed prior to appointment), but Dr. Kelsey was great! Made me feel very comfortable and at ease and I'd 100% see her again for therapy.

This was my first appointment. I met with an LSW in the practice. She clearly set expectations and was a fantastic listener. I was hesitant to meet with an LSW after a poor past experience, but after today's assessment session with Ivy, I feel good about the next steps.

During our first session Hannah was proactive in creating a plan of action to properly diagnose me and address my concerns. Detailed. Office is beautiful. Love the decor, relaxing ambiance and free tea.

It was just a first appointment, but I already feel confident in finding support with Dr. Sarah. The office is lovely and welcoming, the in-take paperwork helped me prepare for what I wanted to talk about and gave me a starting point. Sarah was very kind and attentive and helped me identify and set goals for our work. I'm excited to continue my appointments with her.
Anna W.Verified patient
Saw Dr. Madrake. She was very kind and thorough during intake and the entire office looks like something out of a lifestyle magazine.

June 22, 2022Sandra A.Verified patient
My first visit was comfortable and relaxed. Jaleesa Pirtle has a way of having you open up and expressing your feelings. My session felt like a conversation between friends. She’s awesome so far.
August 24, 2022Terhonda M.Verified patient
I was very nervous and anxious in my selection of a therapist, it was a hard decision but I do not regret it. Immediately after our first session I felt there was a weight lifted off of my shoulders. I shared with Jaleesa my struggles with childhood and family trauma in addition to my attachment issues and she was able to provide feedback that helped me show myself some grace and see the light at the end of the tunnel, on the first day! I was pleased by how quickly she was able to make connections based on what I shared and provide recognition to my strength and specfic goals to help me overcome. I look forward to working with Jalessa for my healing and empowerment journey.

Emma was amazing. She was such a wonderful listener and allowed me to address all my concerns before coming up with the next steps. She really helped navigate through all the areas we should focus on and made me feel confident in making the right choice to start seeing a therapist.
