My son is very shy but he felt extremely comfortable and was able to talk about his feeling freely. We had a great appointment and very excited to keep seeing her.

The office was very poorly managed. Charged days before my session. Has no idea who is scheduled when. Went for one “half” session and they charged me for 2 sessions. Very bad experience.
