Hear From Others
I have had multiple therapists over time that really didn’t help me the way that I needed. Within weeks of working with Hannah, I was already healing from years of struggling and not knowing how to navigate my emotions. She gets thoughts and feelings out of me and opens my eyes to things have never realized before. She gives thoughtful and productive feedback as well as strategies and holds me accountable. Recently I went through some very difficult times and I’m so grateful I found her to get me through them! I wish I found her sooner ! Simple amazing !
Prior, to beginning therapy with Ashley, my girls struggled with anxiety, depression, PTSD and low self esteem. Ashley, has made my girls feel incredibly safe and welcome. They feel they can express their feelings without the need to hide anything, as a parent that is incredibly important. They are learning how to develop healthy strategies to cope with past trauma and are starting to move forward. Ashley is huge on words of affirmation and art therapy. The girls look forward to their weekly sessions and are thriving. I’m very grateful that we found Ashley and that both my girls bonded with her immediately.
