Our Clients’ Growth Stories
Wildflower and my therapist provided a safe, warm, understanding, non-judgmental space, both literally and figuratively, to do meaningful work. I am so grateful for my therapist’s compassion and guidance.
I can’t thank [my Wildflower therapist] enough for getting me through the roughest times of my life, not only through my postpartum depression but through Covid. Therapy was never something that I thought I would ever need but it’s something that changed my life. If you are looking for something that will help you get through whatever you’re going through in life this is definitely the place for you. They will make sure that you find a therapist that fits your needs. (…) You guys are amazing for what you do!
Wildflower is such a warm space with incredibly caring therapists! I have grown so much during my years here and always recommend coming here to friends looking for a therapist.
My experience at Wildflower has been absolutely seamless. Starting therapy takes courage and Wildflower respects that by responding to inquiries quickly and in a straightforward manner. It became very obvious that my therapist had been matched with me thoughtfully. I have loved my time working with [my therapist], even working through difficult topics and situations. I recommend Wildflower to anyone looking to be pushed towards growth in a respectful and safe space.
Wildflower has been a breath of fresh air. I’ve gone to a few different offices over the years and this is by far the best experience I’ve had. From the space itself to the people you hire, you’ve made something that can be very intimidating to people easy and enjoyable.
The Wildflower team guided me through what I can only hope was the most difficult period of my life. During a nightmarish time of crisis, extreme grief and trauma, they matched me with an exceptional therapist who was genuine, caring, and attuned. Our weekly sessions were simultaneously the best and hardest parts of my week … and eventually the heaviness got lighter.
