“I had the most positive experience with Savannah as my therapist! She is incredibly honest, relatable, thoughtful and effective as a therapist. I was able to make a lot of progress seeing her for about a year. I don’t see her now only because my insurance no longer covers at her practice. I know that people from various walks of life would be able to relate to her, and as a girl’s girl, I highly recommend!”
