Dr. Brawner was amazing. This was my first visit to a psychotherapist, and I was naturally nervous. She made me feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed. She established an immediate rapport and we just had a regular conversation where she asked some pointed questions and I did most of the talking. She established trust and her experience and expertise comes through. I left our first session with the realization of what my issues are and where they come from.
I will continue to see Dr. Brawner as I work through my issues. She is professional, knowledgable and creates a comfortable environment.
