As I said before! Desiree is absolutely amazing. It's like she knows exactly what I need at the right time. I couldn't have found a better therapist.

I have never enjoyed working with a therapist more than I do with Desiree. I don’t feel like I need to adhere to this idea of what I should do. But instead, we jointly work together to figure out what works best for me personally. I feel like she has a fantastic personal approach that I personally appreciate a lot.

I absolutely love my sessions with Desiree Paddock. I've been seeing her weekly for a little over a year now. Her sessions have changed my life in so many ways, and they continue to do just that. She is very easy to talk to and I feel that she really does understand me on so many levels. I would recommend her to anybody and everybody looking for some help. She is very professional with a personal touch.
