Ava has been a life saver for me, she has shown me that not all therapists will treat you like a number or a paycheck. She makes me feel like a person that she will go to the ends of the earth for in terms of making sure I get the care I need. I could not highly recommend her more to you.

Ava was so easy to talk with that by the end of our first session together it felt as if she were an old friend who was also my professional counselor.
