Helen was a godsend for me. She helped support me through depression and anxiety by giving me tools and tricks to help me find more equilibrium. She radiates a genuine kindness and a real concern for one's well being. Going to see Helen was like seeing a dear friend. She always allowed, and encouraged, open communication through voicemail and email. If I called in the morning with a crisis of depression that prevented me from getting out of bed, she called me back within an hour and offered a session in person or by phone, often that same day. She never discussed payments, even if I was late. She was respectful that I wasn't interested in taking meds and offered holistic changes in diet and exercise, as well as breathing and mediation. I always felt like a huge priority to her, and felt truly adored and worthy, which was so important as I struggled with self worth. Her voice in my head has become my North Star. She taught me how to identify my thoughts, to know when I was being unkind to myself and how to be more fair to myself. Helen is anything but stuffy, yet remains professional. She never took notes while I spoke, so I never had the paranoid thoughts about what she was thinking, we just talked, but she always remembered what was said in our following sessions. She shared her own stories with me, which helped us to build a real relationship, and made me feel connected, something that depression makes more difficult. Through our sessions I learned a lot about myself and my relationships. She encouraged me to set up better boundaries within my relationships, and to prioritize my own well being in those relationships. I have just recently stopped seeing her, as our work was done (at least for now) and I am worlds away from where I was when we started. I now have better relationships with my family, I feel more confident, and have switched careers. I highly recommend Helen to anyone looking for support with their mental health. Give her a couple of sessions and I'm sure you'll be happy to continue, however if after a couple meetings she does not seem like the right fit for you, find another therapist, but don't give up on your quest to better yourself, especially if you are struggling like I was. The right fit is out there for you, I'm so happy I was able to find the right fit in Helen! read more
