Very thankful for Dr. Owens, she has a very understanding, calming, and reassuring presence about her. I truly look forward to talking her, every time I walk away feeling like I am on the right track, my problems seems more manageable, and I feel like she completely gets me and has my best interest in mind. In addition, she has offered great tips, apps, and insight.
