My provider was great. I was having big technical difficulties getting into the session-( the video specifically, not the audio), and I wish there was a number I could call for immediate technical assistance- I ended up having to have the session on my phone, as it wouldn’t work on my computer.

Victoria Labonte, I’ve had a wonderful experience with my therapist. She is compassionate, understanding, patient, and truly listens without judgment. She creates a safe and comfortable space where I feel heard and supported. Her guidance has helped me grow, see things from different perspectives, and become more confident in myself. I truly appreciate her dedication and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and supportive therapist.
