Mrs. Asher is a great listener. She's comforting and reassuring from the get go. It took me a while to open up as I was skeptical and did proceed with caution (had bad experiences with a couple of therapists in the past). However, she made me feel safe, heard and seen and facilitated this trust relationship we've built overtime. She REALLY cares, focuses on what matters most and remembers little details from previous sessions, in addition to her calming and soothing bedside manner. That alone is a great deal. No judgement or blame. Just comfort, resolution and growth. She won't put words on your mouth. Instead, she gently guides you to find your way to the answers you're looking for and will only emphasize on a subject when you're ready to tackle it. I still have a lot of work to do on myself but I am at ease knowing that she is in my corner and willing to help. I always look forward to our weekly sessions.
I absolutely love and appreciate the staff at the Center for Child Development. Everyone is extremely professional and kind. I’ve been with my therapist for years now and hands down, thee best in her field. I feel words on a review can’t capture my true expression. Thankful to have found them.
