Jackie Rita is the best therapist I have ever been to and after 75 years, I have been to a few. Jackie listens, responds, and gives helpful feedback to see problems clearly. She offers suggestions to think about when trying to make lifelong decisions. She puts her clients at ease and makes the experience non threatening and comfortable. I am amazed at how she remembers every detail shared over several weeks of personal details. Our time together is valuable and life changing. She's a 5*
