I can’t say enough how much Amy & Alyson have helped me through the toughest year of my life. Amy puts me at ease, she goes from comfortable topic to relax me for the harder topics. She’s helped push myself to be able to allow myself to do something just for me. Alyson has also put me at ease, to ensure I felt comfortable talking about how I’m feeling, sleeping - especially sleeping and finding the combination of medication- so happy I’m sleeping Life is so much better now that I’ve had the assistance and tools to help myself.
