I really appreciate the empathy I receive from Alex. Even more, I appreciate that he doesn't let me avoid looking at the hard things. My prior therapist made it easy for me to avoid talking about things that were difficult or uncomfortable.

Liz Laverty has been the best therapist I've ever has, and she's my eighth. She gets me thinking about things that have been important to my healing, things that I never thought to work out on my own. I've gone from never leaving the house to shopping and visiting friends. I still have work to do, but I'm confident that with Liz assisting me, I will get there.

My therapist, Rayla Johnson, is absolutely amazing! I have referred her to others who agree. When I did my intake, the person, I think his name was Ryan, thought I would be a good fit and was spot on! I was in rough shape when I called and he was so compassionate towards me. The entire staff that I have dealt with has changed me for the better in so many ways, so thank you!
