Our initial visit was great!
He was great, very receptive and looked like he understood the struggles I have been dealing with, even though I threw a whole lot of trauma his way on the very first meeting. (Sorry for that Mr. Durst) I look forward to our next meeting and the ongoing evaluation of my life and the root cause to this depression and anxiety. Mr. Durst did great though, I feel like.
The Most Support I’ve Ever Felt In Awhile . He Listened To Everything. Five stars for Derek
I couldn't get through this season without his assistance and counsel.
I've enjoyed chatting with Derek so far and appreciate his easy going demeanor, but I would like to see him "dive a bit deeper" to unpack some of the issues I've presented. Also, it would be nice to dive into more actionable strategies and advice for overcoming some of the challenges I've presented.
