She is very good. She has helped me a lot.

Dr. Black is compassionate and kind, and also very direct...you tell her what is bothering you, and she helps make the path very clear on what exactly needs to be done to get yourself feeling better. She is a pleasure to work with and she has helped me so much in the short time that I've been seeing her.

Dr. Black has been so easy to work with and she is such an amazing therapist. I am fortunate to have been matched with her. She is extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraging all while providing a safe and comfortable setting to communicate openly. I highly recommend her!

I just completed my first session with Dr. Black and must say it went well.
She asks me open ended question to get me to talk about myself (not my favorite thing to do).
I am looking forward to our next session.
