Elizabeth has been everything i’ve looked for in a counselor- supportive, kind, nonjudgemental, loyal to her clients (didn’t just leave me when she switched practices). She makes me feel seen, heard and validated. She genuinely helps me be a better person. i couldn’t be more grateful to have Elizabeth as my counselor.

I think it's taken a while for Sue to "get" me but I'm finding that as she does, our sessions are getting more and more helpful. I understand that it does take a while for two people to get to know each other especially in a therapy session.
