Fantastic therapist! Norman really understands what I'm going through. He has a good balance of helping me understand what I'm feeling but also helping me find practical strategies that are easy to implement in my day to day life. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

I was really hesitant about therapy at first, but my therapist made me feel so comfortable. They've been a huge help in managing my anxiety and I feel like I'm making great progress after only a handful of sessions. Therapy is way less intimidating that I expected and I think that's all thanks to Norman!
