Testimonials

  • "Starting the therapy journey is daunting enough, but finding a therapist who is a "fit" feels almost impossible. Reed made this easier than it has any right to be (which is welcome, because the process itself is never going to be easy). She met me where I needed her and moved my progress along at a pace that I was comfortable with, but that also pushed the borders and boundaries I had created for myself over a lifetime. Reed is intelligent and compassionate and the relationship I have developed with her has allowed me to improve all the relationships in my life - most importantly the one with myself."

  • "When I first sought Reed out for breakup recovery, I had no idea that our journey together would extend far beyond healing from a breakup. Reed skillfully guided me through one of the darkest periods of my life. Our time together evolved, encompassing not only untangling familial dynamics and treating codependency but also processing trauma, navigating life transitions, and fostering mind-body connection.

    Reed’s approach was truly holistic. She helped me set goals that resonated with my inner beliefs, challenging ingrained thought patterns. Through specific coping strategies, I not only learned to feel my emotions but also gained the tools to process them effectively. Reed’s “homework” assignments propelled me toward achieving these goals. When I was ready, she empowered me to take courageous steps forward.

    Three years of collaboration with Reed have transformed me. Now, I understand myself better, face life’s challenges with resilience, and engage in relationships authentically. Reed’s remarkable insight, unwavering empathy, and the safe haven she created allowed me to share openly without judgment. In her presence, I felt truly seen and heard—a steadfast pillar of support. I am profoundly grateful for her compassion, guidance, and unwavering belief in my growth. Even after I moved to Boston, Reed occasionally checks in—a testament to the lasting impact of our time together.

    Thank you, Reed, for being an integral part of my healing journey."

  • “One of the most intimidating aspects of beginning a therapy journey is finding the right therapist, one who you connect with, feel understood by, and who always makes you feel safe.

    From my first appointment with Reed, I felt extremely comfortable and accepted, and I knew I had found the right fit for me. Reed's warm personality and demeanor, paired with her easy going attitude and sense of humor created a safe and welcoming environment during our time together. I always felt accepted, like nothing I could say would ever shock her, and that she was always on my team. Her deep understanding of therapeutic approaches were also a game changer for me and allowed us to approach life long issues in a new and innovative way.

    I highly recommend working with Reed in your therapy journey if you're seeking a compassionate, understanding, empathetic, and overall excellent therapist.”

  • “I started working with Reed at a point where I was struggling with anxiety and my identity. She created a safe environment where I could figure out how my values and experiences create my identity. This helped me feel more confident in myself as I started graduate school. After a break from therapy, I found myself at a low point with my generalized and social anxiety. Although it had been a few years, Reed was always in the back of my mind. I reached out and was unsure if it would work since we were in different states, and I was so glad I took the chance. Reed has helped me understand my anxiety and given me the tools to work through the physical and mental aspects of it. I've learned so much about myself in our sessions. I really appreciate how she ends each meeting by asking how will I take care of myself that week. It's not something I had thought about often, and I feel empowered now that I do.”

  • I have had the privilege of working with Reed for nearly six years, and in that time, she has become everything I could have hoped for in a therapist. Before finding Reed, I had seen three different therapists, none of whom felt like the right fit . She has a rare ability to truly hear and understand me, while also gently but firmly challenging me to confront and unlearn behaviors that no longer serve me. Through our work together, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of myself than I ever thought possible. Reed’s guidance, insight, and unwavering support have been instrumental in helping me grow into a more grounded, self-aware, and resilient person.
