Mikayla has been fantastic. She listens extremely well and was the first therapist I've ever had who takes my concerns seriously and helps me develop a plan to address them. Prior to finding her, I had had been to a number of therapists, all of which were very disappointing. Mikayla has made therapy not only engaging, but deeply effective and tailored to my needs.
