Auto accident caused my Traumatic Brain Injury, PTSD, loosing sight in one eye.... just the beginning of injuries I incurred. I clicked with Stephanie. Her beautiful spirt is equaled by her high intelligence. She took the time to learn what happened to me and what my triggers were, and the overall emotional state I was in. I truly felt that she cared about me as a person and wanted to see me recover after my life was shattered. When I began therapy with her, I honestly wasn't sure if I could recover. I thought my life was over and there couldn't be a way to recover, then I began sessions with her. Now I have hope in my future and a healthy mindset which will help me to overcome my traumatic event and live my best life. I had know idea a transformation was possible before meeting Stephanie, but she showed me it was very much possible. I worked hard with her to heal. I worked with other therapists/psychiatrists before finding Stephanie, and she is different. I truly felt that she listened to me.. she genuinely cared about my mental health.. I'm so very grateful for all she's done for me. Saying "Thank you" seems so inadequate, but it's what I can say to her. Stephanie-- from the bottom of my heart, I'm so humbly grateful for you and what you've helped me through. May all that's good in this world come back to you ten-fold!!

I’ve been doing Zoom calls with Cody for over 6 months now and I have to say he’s the best therapist I’ve ever had. He’s down to earth, real, honest, and so good at pointing out my thought distortions. I’ve been through a lot lately and he’s been right there to help me the whole time. I’ve even taken to saying “everyone needs a Cody!” He works hard and cares hard and the world needs more people - and therapists! - like him.

Stacie has been a tremendous help in assisting me with managing my anxiety. She is easy to talk to, and I felt like she genuinely cared about what I am going through. I have learned some coping skills that have made a difference in how I approach life and my family. I am grateful to have found her. Stacie is like talking to an old friend, yet she has challenged me in a way that has helped me move past some issues I had been hanging onto for many years.

Nin has such a welcoming and kind demeanor that makes her easy to talk too. You will find out very quickly she genuinely cares about you as a person, and is able to show empathy towards you that makes you feel heard, listened to, and understood. You rarely see her without a big smile on her face and her energy is contagious.
