I have been with Jeff for a couple months now and I have never felt more heard and truly safe to talk about whatever I need to get off my chest. I have seen a lot of therapists and thought after my appointments, man these people have no idea what I’m trying to express. I have never once felt that way with Jeff, nor have I ever said something and thought or felt like I was being judged. You can tell he truly enjoys helping people and enjoys listening to you no matter how long it takes even if the time of your appointment is going over ! If your thinking about choosing Jeff as your therapist your making a great decision. I know when I was recommended to him he was booked 2 months out but he is worth the wait !
They were very helpful, kind and patient. I’m grateful for Dr. Duncan for actually listening and being patient.
I have been working with Jeff Danouski at Southern Mentality, and he has been absolutely fantastic. He creates a safe, welcoming space where I feel truly heard and supported. His guidance has made a massively positive impact on my life. I highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for an empathetic, skilled therapist!
I have been working with Patty for over a month now, specifically with my OCD, and have seen such improvements! She has so much knowledge on OCD and the effective treatments - such as ERP - and is so great at making you feel understood and like nothing is too hard. She’s with me every step of the way and I appreciate it so much. If you’re looking for help with your OCD, I highly recommend Patty Deshields!
Great experience!
Nicole is kind, genuine, & professional. Highly recommend!
Jeff is an exceptional therapist, he is warm, caring, has great stories, and is genuinely an interesting human being! I also like that even the billing is fast and efficient. It comes out regularly, not sporadically, I haven't had a single issue with this. Use spruce to communicate because it gives me a way to communicate quick and easy with the entire team rather than having to call and do a bunch of other things. If you're looking for a place to go, come here.
Nicole, always cares about me an her other patient. She listens so well an knows exactly how to come you down if you are upset about something.i wouldn't even think about going anywhere else.
Its so nice to be treated like a human. Todays visit really was a hard pivot back to this again. But the kindness and warmth i recieved helped make that hard decision much softer
