“Daniel is very professional and patient. I often go on random rants and he can pull the conversation back to meet my goals without sounding condescending. I appreciate how the appointments are structured and easy going. I have never felt judged or pitied. I can talk about what's going on and he helps me work through the mess of emotions I have. ”
