Debbie is smart, kind, and good at communicating. She does a great job seeing ME and helping me through my issues. I feel very supported by her on my mental health journey.

Deb has been great! Working with Deb and going through therapy is the best choice I’ve made. For a long time, I hadn’t prioritized my mental health and well-being and having Deb to meet with sure does make it a pleasant experience.
