Susan is the best. She challenges me and shows great empathy. She understands when to push and when to let let me lead.

She is very amazing and pays attention to the smallest of details. Willing to work with you but also makes sure you make progress in your healing journey. Very compassionate and honest. I am so glad I have found her and probably going to work with her for a very long time.
