I had my first appointment with Dr Sehnaz Dogsn-Phillips, and I was genuinely impressed by her approach. From the very beginning, she created a safe and comfortable environment where I felt heard and understood. What stood out the most was her ability to combine empathy, intelligence, and realism. Rather than offering generic advice, she provided thoughtful insights and practical perspectives that helped me better understand the challenges I brought to the session. Her approach was both compassionate and grounded, which made our conversation incredibly valuable. Even after just one appointment, I left feeling more hopeful, clearer about my situation, and confident that I am in capable hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely human and caring.

Shae was an empathic listener. We found common ground in our love of New Mexico and the desert. I enjoyed our give and take.
