Jarrell is an excellent listener, he is polite, professional, and has a deep understanding of anything you discuss with him. He has a great way of placing things in perspective, and he encourages you to assess your values. I would recommend him to anybody seeking help navigating the complication of relationships in their life.

Jarrell is everything I have ever wanted in a therapist without even knowing it. Jarrell is kind, responsive and empathetic, I like how our therapy sessions feel like a conversation and I always feel energised and positive at the end.
