I like the privacy of my appointments. I liked when Leslie works at home because I know that nobody is around except her cute cat. I get nervous when she at work that someone could be listening. I'm sure that's not true but just how I feel. Most of the time she is at home. And that also makes my visits feel less pressure.

I couldn't have asked for a better therapist. Nina Zuriff is such a good fit for me. She is very knowledgeable and compassionate. She has really helped me cope with this very hard time I am currently experiencing and makes herself reachable should an emergency arise. I am very happy I selected Nina. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
