I knew I needed someone who would not only listen to my thoughts, but provide me insights, strategies, and perspective. She has been an unbelievable listener and has helped me gain understanding about my struggles. She has taught me new ways to shift my mindset and has helped guide me to a more productive, positive self-talk & way of thinking. I am so grateful to have found her!

I am so grateful for Dr. Cooper! Coming from someone who was against therapy to now looking forward to it. She has helped me look at things different and has helped me strengthen and fix some important relationships in my life! 10/10 recommend

Right away, Dr. Cooper made me feel relaxed & safe. She wanted our time together to be solution-oriented with feedback for her and not only for myself. She listened intently and allowed me to express and feel all the emotions choking inside me. I look forward to working with her again.
