I have been in therapy with Dr Verda for a year now. She is someone I can trust with many details of my personal life, and I deeply value her opinion and advice. At a stressful time in my life, our sessions helped me offload and reflect on ways to better cope. A year later, I feel that I have the inner resources to better cope with my anxieties and the people around me. This self-improvement is rooted in the support, advice and acceptance Dr Verda has provided me. I feel very fortunate to have found her.

Dr Bradley is awesome! There are very few people in my life that corral me to stay on point and she does! I like this because it helps me stay on point. Among other things, it’s wonderful to have a councilor that actually talks to you instead of sitting just listen with no advice! She gives me the guidance I need honestly
