Report
I started seeing Dr. Lynn after I was at a point I couldn't function. It was the best decision ever. She is very straight forward, no bs, and helps me look at things in a different light without pushing it on me. She can read me really well, is very respectful of my opinion and feelings and really listens and hears me. I wouldn't be where I am today without her help. She helped me see the information I needed to connect the dots so I could fully understand where I was mentally and how to get to where I wanted to be.

I am so happy to have found Lynelle. She listens well and gives feedback, as opposed to simply asking, 'so how does that make you feel?' She is respectful, empathetic, and honest. She manages to combine this with the ability to tell it straight. She also uses the entire hour. I really appreciate her.
