If it wasn't for Yvonne helping me through my separation, I would have been lost. She truly treats you like a friend and is genuinely interested in what you have to say and how you are feeling. Best therapist I've ever had.

Yvonne is awesome, she talks to you like a human and not like a machine giving generated responses. She works with you to give you the kind of therapy experience you want and will push you as hard as you’re willing to push yourself. All in all, Yvonne is wonderful, supportive, and I would definitely recommend her!

She makes me feel safe talking to her, when we have our sessions she doesn’t make me feel like I’m talking to a stranger I feel like I’m talking to someone who general cares for my well-being, she is a good listener and guides me in the right path
