Denise was wonderful and a joy to talk with. My first and only other experience before Denice made me a little apprehensive becuase it was not a good experience. Denise showed me that not all counselors are the same. If you get Show morean appointment with Denise you should consider yourself fortunate and lucky. I look forward to our next talk.
We LOVE Dr Atkinson. She has made an absolute life altering change within our lives as a whole by being patient and realistic within her care. She takes the time to listen to everything and offer solutions, both plan a and plan b Show moreso you never feel like you are in a state of hopelessness. I cannot recommend her enough.

Time well spent with Denise.
Denise is a joy to work with. She takes time to evaluate me to see how I'm am doing. Based on that she asks if I need any changes to my meds or not. She let's me lead but if I'm unsure she will make suggestions. I appreciate her and I'm glad I have her.
Awesome as always.
She listens and is always concerned about my input and how I feel about any changes.
Fantastic counselor. Always have great sessions with her.
