I appreciate how quickly I was able to make my first appointment and how flexible the providers are. I started off seeing Shelby in person but eventually transitioned to virtual appointments. It was so nice to meet Shelby in person and become more comfortable with her prior to switching to virtual appointments. Shelby is fantastic, she is an attentive listener and never makes me feel like I am wasting her time. I feel very comfortable and validated here!
