Dr. Sessoms is calm, professional and a great listener. She seemed to really understand my concerns and shared tools to help with communication and establishing boundaries.

I appreciate Dr. Sessoms's wisdom and respect her therapy advice. It's not easy to find a Black female therapist so this connection is very much appreciated. She's like the auntie I wish I had.

Dr. Sessoms is kind, thoughtful, and extremely insightful. There are some people that are not all that good at their chosen profession and there are those who excel in their chosen profession. Dr. Sessoms is one that is answering her calling. Absolutely amazing!
