I like how easy it is to pick out a therapist and that there is a bio and plenty of information about them. Scheduling is easy for the most part. I haven't had any tech issues. My therapist has always been on time and she is always curteous of the time. I think it's worth my co-pay I pay for sessions.

I almost always leave my therapy sessions with Shannon Brown feeling lighter because she creates a supportive, honest space where I feel truly heard. She is very professional, but still manages to make me feel like I’m talking to a friend who truly cares about my well-being. She challenges me to confront issues that I typically avoid. I appreciate that she communicates a clear plan for my therapy, yet still adapts to whatever is happening in my life or things I’d like to focus on. Her straightforward approach and encouragement has allowed me to open up more than I ever did with previous therapists. I feel like she’s equipping me with the tools to make some positive improvements on my mental health journey and helping me to understand myself better.
