Nothing to improve. I always appreciate Darryl. He is an exceptional therapist. He is insightful, listens carefully, is always calm and sometimes funny which is what helps me relax. He is super smart. Occasionally, he shares his own experience. I like this because I’ve had other therapists who are so strictly clinical I feel as if it is they and me. Darryll has helped me enormously and I’m so grateful.
