Dreatha has been wonderful. Very professional but warm and open, with great insights and suggestions, and the ability to make me think about situations or feelings in an objective way while offering various views. Always supportive and made me feel heard. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who could use the support and assistance. She's the only therapist I've ever worked with, but she has to be one of the best!

I look forward to my 10 o'clock appointment every Thursday, I don't have a very large social circle, so it's good to have that 30 minutes or 45 minutes at least to chat about What's going on in my life. It's Cathartic and he seems to listen. I feel like I've known him for a long time. I have a lot of respect for him And all of his accomplishments. It's nice to have someone to be able to speak my mind about what's going on in my life and get good advice back. Doing better every day, one day at a time.
