Ease and convenience of working with my therapist.

★★★★★
Ed is a wonderful therapist. He poses unique questions that I really have to think about the answers and I like that I get to be challenged in my thought process. I am a Christian and It’s nice to have a fellow believer, understand scripture or share it with me to encourage me to keep moving forward in my journey? It’s almost like chatting with a friend Been my therapist for at least 18 months if not longer.

Marianne has steadily helped me acknowledge some of the energy I’ve carried for many years. She is sensitive to my spiritual beliefs and is able to help me develop goals for the future.

★★★★★
I finally found someone who understands me and challenges me intellectually. She explains to me why children do what they do in turn allowing me to understand why I am the way I am. She offers me real anxiety relief coping skills like breathing techniques or ice packs on the face. She doesn't just ask me how I feel all the time or make me talk about hard things if I'm not in the mood. She uses the words that I say to understand how I feel even if I don't know how I feel. I really like her and I really think she's going to help me.
