Testimonials

At Harte Essence Psychotherapy, I believe the heart of therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. Every person’s journey is unique, and the feedback I receive reflects that diversity. From overcoming anxiety and grief to building stronger relationships and finding clarity in life, these words come directly from people who have experienced the support of therapy here.
