I very much value the opportunity to have Denise Atkinson, Nurse Practitioner, as my healthcare provider. I’ve been in therapy for many years, and believe me when I say that it’s a rare blessing to find a healthcare provider who gShow moreenuinely understands your suffering and meshes with your personality. The Provider-Patient relationship chemistry is vital, but maybe even more so in mental health care. If you have the pleasure of having Denise as your provider, you have a gem. VS
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.
