I believe that Mrs. Hofer was knowledgeable and expressed concern and compassion throughout our session. She is detailed and professional in her delivery of services and support. I would recommend her and I already have
I have been meeting with Whitley since August of 2024. We meet once a week for 1 hour. At first I wasn’t sure exactly what I was searching for in a therapist. I firmly believe God puts us where we belong when we need it most. Whitley has helped me target, strategize, and execute numerous goals I have wanted to complete since then. I appreciate her professionalism yet realness in dealing with situations week by week. Her flexibility and availability are also traits that I appreciate, we all live busy lives that are constantly changing and I appreciate having a therapist who can work around my schedule.
My appointment was canceled without notice I didn’t receive a call or anything besides a text this morning confirming my appointment then a text 2 hours before canceling the appointment no answer when I called number provided
