Testimonials

Scott helped me to really tease apart a complicated issue I was dealing with. My ability to deal with things was compromised by the complexity, and he helped me to figure out how to not overreact and also not under-react to the situation and what I was feeling.

I owe a great deal of my personal development and understanding of myself to Scott and his expertise. I am so very thankful!

He has created a comfortable and safe place for me to work on myself and has changed my perspective about several pessimistic outlooks I had on life.

He has shown he genuinely… Read more

Melissa has been an amazing therapist. I have gained so much insight about myself from our discussions. Her willingness to allow me to be an equal in my own therapy has been invaluable. I truly leave each session feeling empowered. Our sessions do not feel prescribed or routine. Instead they feel honest, authentic, and full kernels of truth that I can readily apply to my everyday life. Melissa has been a tremendous guide for me on my path to wellness of the mind, body and spirit.
