Jay is GREAT !! He is professional, personable and also has a sense of humor. I was referred to him a few months ago when my stress and anxiety hit the roof and he has helped me improve and cope with struggles. The sessions are chill and i always leave feeling more at ease. My husband, daughter (8) and I all go to him. I have recommended him to friends who have also said the same. The direct billing is also a bonus ..thanks Jay

I just love walking in to this place, especially in the winter with the fire crackling and the smell of coffee brewing. Dennis has been an excellent guide. I am blessed to have him in my life.

I have seen a few counsellors or phschologists in my search for assistance with anxiety relating to PTSD and a cancer diagnoses.I was recently referred back here and I am doing much better since.I think finding the appropriate person to assist with mental health issues can take some trial and error and I am glad I have found someone with enough experience and knowledge that they are able to help and give me the input I need to succeed. I also like the fact they work with my employer and insurer and direct bill and that they send out appointment reminders. I highly recommend this place and suggest

STRONGLY RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE! Great atmosphere - Welcoming, Friendly, Warm, "Homey". I think Mental Health is extremely important. Learning the skills to have control over our behaviors which are influenced by our thoughts is crucial. Dennis is so great and will teach you how to do just that.
