Jen rocks!! She truly listens and provides feedback and questions to think about. She provides techniques to use too.
Jen is amazing, she’s my rock! Absolutely love the time we get to share!
I really am thankful for Jen meeting with me even though she is going through her own personal loss. That to me speaks volumes
I had received a text stating that my provider would email me with the information to access the appointment. I did not receive anything prior. The provider reached out via message in another app stating she was there waiting. She mentioned something that made me think I should have received a notification from ZocDoc. It delayed the connection, but she was communicating the process as we went very well.
