“Understanding yet able to help me reflect which is where I feel I’ve seen the most growth. And where I needed it most.”

“She's great and has helped me through a lot”

“Great listener, only reason I stopped was due to financial difficulties.”

“Raylissa is very professional and understanding. She adapts well with ever changing circumstances and makes herself available. She will challenge your expectations and push you to explore. She reaches out to remind me of appointments and checks in. She responds to messages as soon as she can. While I’m new to the therapy world, I believe her care and treatment is top shelf. I feel like I matter, she cares, and I’m not just a number.”
