Dr. Groomes is patient and understanding yet she is straight forward which I really appreciate. She helps you come to a decision on your own terms. She guides you with the knowledge that she has and it feels very casual talking to her as I have a hard time opening up to people. I’m very thankful that I was matched with her and I strongly recommend her as a therapist.

Dr. Groomes is easily the best therapist I've ever worked with. She is personable so that sessions do not feel clinical, and incredibly intelligent and experienced to provide thoughtful guidance, coaching, and support alongside it. It's a very relaxed approach and she's a great and kind human. She's super responsive on the few times I've reached out outside of session. I always look forward to our time where we can catch up on life and stay caught up on goals and progress.

Dr. Groomes is a wonderfully thoughtful therapist. She listens to my needs and concerns and is not afraid to share things that might not be easy to hear. She is very responsive when I have issues and I am often surprised at how she is able/willing to respond during what I would consider off hours. Overall, a very caring and concerned therapy provider with a huge toolbox of knowledge to share from. I am blessed to have her help.

Dr. Groomes provides support that resonates with both your emotional and intellectual understanding of your needs. I cannot begin to adequately describe the strength of her abilities and the level of her patience.

Groomes is amazing. Shes the first therapist I’ve ever spoke too. She made me feel comfortable, to be honest, to be sincere, to be myself and dig deep. She’s upfront, bold, understanding and I’m lucky to have her as my first experience. Ive progressed, fell back, progressed again and she kept me on track even when I forgot myself. Solid stonewall I can rely on to be on my side.
