Madison is very personable and made me feel very comfortable sharing personal information with her from our first appointment. She takes detailed notes and always makes sure to follow up on any events, concerns, feelings, or issues that I have previously brought to her attention. She has helped me work on finding coping mechanisms and making sure I am utilizing them weekly. I appreciate that she shares her own life experiences when they relate to my issues. She truly cares about what I am going through and finding ways to make life more enjoyable for me.

I appreciate the ease of navigation and enrollment. Zoom is a little funny at times but I like the flexibility of virtual and in person. I appreciated my therapist for being patient and taking the time to be understanding of what I was saying when I wasn't clear. Appointment scheduling is a breeze and so is the paperwork
