I found my way to Jarita during a time of uncertainty and confusion. I was battling depression and anxiety, overwhelmed by many challenges in my life. My parents were getting older, and significant changes were unfolding. My dad had cancer, and eventually, my mom passed away. I must say that before my mom's passing, I was in a better place. My therapist is amazing, and I am stable on the medications I need. Overall, my life is getting better. Thank you for your continued support, Jarita!

Jarita is an incredible therapist and has been instrumental in my growth journey. I appreciate that her approach to therapy is to set realistic goals, measure progress, and build you up to be able to manage on your own. I've made real progress with her as my therapist. I couldn't recommend her enough!

She was the third therapist I tried here, and I love her. She's very friendly and makes me feel like a normal person, no matter what I am going through. We can openly talk, laugh, and go through the rough patches; she's like a close friend.
