“Everything went perfect and I recommend the Therapist, but I just would call the office ahead of time to make sure you have the zoom link”

“We have searched for someone for my daughter to speak to for years. She opened up more in this first session than in the serveral we've had with other doctors. Teddy knew how to make her feel seen, understood, and as comfortable as possible given her situation. While she still has a long way to go this was a wonderful start. We are so appreciative.”
