I have been seeing Jillian Thornton for several weeks now and she is wonderful. She is very easy to talk with and provides really great insight on different situations. She has really helped me to open up and challenge myself along with helping me in my grieving process. I recommend setting up and appointment with Jillian.

Provider service has been great. The amount of calls, texts, and exact same forms I have to fill out to confirm my session is annoying tho. I stopped checking in because I am tired of filling the same form out over and over again. But again, my provider is great.
