Overall rating:
I enjoy talking with Helen. She listens to my concerns and offers suggestions. I feel like I'm chatting with a friend. I'm very pleased with her being my therapist.
Now that intake is done, she can do what she's good at to help me master my grief and depression.
Helen comes off as caring and very easy to talk to. I look forward to my next session with her.
It's always a pleasure speaking with Helen. She's understanding, sympathetic and her caring demeanor is soothing. I feel so much better after speaking with her.
She is very helpful and caring. I can’t think of any other way she can help me.
Positive first session and looking forward to continuing with the experience.
This is only my second session with Helen. So far, so good. We talk about things going on with me, and I like that she can comment on what I say. Like I said, we are both just getting to know each other. So little time is the 45 min.
She was great, the one time I met with her. My life has been too hectic for me to keep up with therapy, however I plan to get back to it once things calm down.
She's great, good listener and has great ideas so I wouldn't change a thing.
Helen is so patient and understanding!
