Darlene is, by far, the best therapist I've ever worked with. She listens, understands, is compassionate, and helps keep me grounded. As a survivor of marital abuse, it's not easy for me to trust people. Darlene has, from Day One, been supportive, encouraging....I REALLY just can't say enough about how much she helps me.
