Report
Todd is by far the most effective therapist I've ever seen. He employs evidence-based, current, and well-researched treatment methodologies and coping skills. He's a wonderful balance of good listening and appropriate interruption to keep me from "going down the rabbit hole"; as well as acknowledging and honoring emotion and thought patterns, while providing methods for healthy redirection. I don't think I've ever left his office without carrying some form of physical materials to take with me, whether it's educational tools or self-reflection cards to keep in
