Sarah is Great. As a first time patient Sarah's expertise has really come in handy with understanding my anxiety. She's Supportive and she listens. She nevers judges and is just a Great person to talk too.

Sarah Adams has been a blessing. I had a bad experience with a local counselor and considered foregoing counseling all together. I’m so glad I took a chance with Sarah. She is kind but firm in her approach. She listens and offers genuine feedback. Rather than offer her opinions, she listens to my story and what I want to accomplish, and helps me develop a plan that works for me. I look forward to our weekly sessions.

So far, so good! Sarah listens to my concerns and we work together to come up with helpful solutions.
