"For me, I think of therapy like a grounding wire in an electrical plug. Can you survive without that prong? Yes. Are you the most safe you can be? No. Libby is a great grounding wire that helps keep my feet on the ground and pointed in the right direction. I am satisfied like 'whoa.' I have recommended her to several people. She is super easy to relate to."

“We're very satisfied with your work with our foster son. You take the time to listen and are very compassionate about him and our family. You make us feel like we are friends, not clients. You are very good with children. You take time and get down to his eye level.”

- Age 7

“I'm very satisfied in therapy with you. Your listening has been helpful and pointing out things I need to work on and the things I'm doing well. You have a good balance. I have mentioned to a few people how awesome you are. I think you're very open and honest. You tell the truth but in a delicate way so I can understand. You seem like you truly want to help me and all of your clients. I think you have an honest approach with a soft touch. Overall, you are an amazing therapist.”
- Age 23

“I describe you as helpful. You make me see things from different perspectives. You are trustworthy. Like even though my parents tell you something, and I tell you they are lying, you take into account  both of our statements and not only one of them. You're also fun and have lots of fun things.”
- Age 14

“I like talking to Libby about my worries. She makes me feel better and good inside. I draw pictures and read books about worries growing like tomatoes.”

“Prior to my daughter needing therapy, I had never had any contact with or experience with any mental health providers for either myself or my family. To be honest, I wasn't quite sure what to expect or what was involved. Looking back, we were very fortunate to have found you.

When I first talked to my daughter about my opinion that she speak with a therapist, she was guarded and pessimistic. She didn't view herself as mentally ill and was horrified at the thought that others would view her in a negative light as someone who was weak and needed help. She viewed the need for a therapist as a negative stigma.

I know that we have been very fortunate that she was able to form a very positive and immediate relationship with you. She looks to you as a balancing force in her daily struggles. She really takes to heart your comments, thoughts and opinions. I know you have made a tremendous positive impact on her. She trusts you completely and really tries to act and think on your advice. This is something she never would have done with me or another family member. You offer her something that she didn't think she had with any of us- the ability to be herself and honestly share her emotions, fears and concerns. As a parent, it is a huge relief to me that she has you.

You have always been so prompt in responding to my written and phone communications. You have lent a supportive ear and shoulder for me as well. You have also promptly followed through on all follow up tasks and made sure that all the necessary paperwork was processed.

Teen years can be "the pits” and full of unique age-based challenges. I also know that these age clients make up a good part of your practice. I am glad you are able to share your knowledge and professional expertise to help my daughter navigate this time in her life and build life skills she can carry with her. She has made so much progress.

My goal is for her to me ready for life beyond high school in a new place. There will only be one Libby though. You have set the bar pretty high for her successor! Thank you. All parents wish only for their children to grow and be happy and healthy. I am so grateful for all you have done to help our daughter reach those goals. “
