Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

A true, life changer. Dal is amazing !
Telehealth
Over the past couple of years, Dal has helped me identify and address problem areas in my life that were keeping me from being my true self. Within the first few weeks she had pointed out stressors that had immediate impacts in my daily life once addressed. She genuinely listened to issues going on, whether family, work, or friends, and offered straightforward guidance that got me where I needed to be personally. I am so grateful to have had Dal by my side, and anyone looking to improve themselves will be thankful too.

Crisis management - life changing
I was recommended to Dal when my mental health provider office was full and could not accommodate me. I was fortunate to be able to have in-person sessions with Dal, and felt immediately comfortable working with her. This was my first experience with therapy; I had been skeptical that therapy could be beneficial and held stigma against it, but now I feel that everyone would benefit from having a personal therapist! With her expertise, Dal was able to not only help me with the problem that I first came to her with, but she also made me realize that many of my problems in life could be attributed to this single personality trait. Once my eyes were opened to this, I was able to make better life choices that resulted in me being happier, more self-accepting, and having less anxiety. If I could afford it, I would keep Dal as my therapist forever and have her help me tackle my issues one by one to make myself the best person I could be! Dal also has ample free parking - so important to me.

Readiness to Listen and Cares for Clients
Telehealth
Working with Dal has always left me feeling heard. She helps clients pinpoint the root of their stressors as well as gives them the space and time to talk about it as in depth as they need to. Whenever there is a problem, I never feel I can't tell Dal, she is no-judgmental and offers the support that anyone would need during a time of crisis or simple stress.

A wonderful therapist
Telehealth
Dal for the past two years has been a wonderful therapist that has assisted me through many hardships and come out of them. She is someone I can go to for advice on practically anything that I need assistance with. She is a therapist I’d recommend to anybody who’s looking for a new therapist.

Dal was incredibly helpful to me the last couple of years. She is a great listener and gave me amazing advice. I gained a lot of self-worth as her client. I always looked forward to our sessions. Bonus if you are into astrology or holistic health!! I would recommend her 1000 times over.

Very Kind, Compassionate, and Helpful!
I've been seeing Dal now for just over a year and she has quite frankly saved my life. Therapy was a rather new concept to me and I was very skeptical of how it would help my anxiety but Dal made the transition incredibly easy. She is a fantastic listener while offering solutions to problems/issues that I bring to her. She helps me look at my anxieties and worries through a different lens so I can accept them and move on from the negative thoughts. She has also helped me get affiliated with an integrative psychiatrist that has been a tremendous help in my treatment. Lastly, she is incredibly flexible with scheduling and willing to talk at all hours if need be. Without Dal's constant support and reassurance I would not be in the place I am today. I am grateful for everything she has done for me and highly recommend her to anyone seeking help.

Couples therapy
Dal was amazing in guiding us as a couple to work through some challenges. She was able to help us develop tools that honed in our individual strengths so we could bring more to the marriage and work together as a team. Additionally she helped us to improve our communication so that we could express gratitude, work through daily challenges and reinvest in our bond and marriage. We left marriage counseling as a stronger version of what we came in and are so grateful.

Best in town
Dal is someone who is compassionate and empathetic towards the needs of her clients. She is a great listener and has awesome feedback. She will push you to think outside the box and from others perspectives. She has a gentle and kind approach. I highly recommend her as a clinician especially if you want be challenged and grow. For the negative comments I have read same day to assume people didn't like to be challenged.

Good Find
I usually don't write reviews, but thought I could potentially help someone out by recommending a good therapist. I, myself, went through quite a process looking for someone. But then I finally found Dal! I honestly felt like I had struck gold! She was professional, experienced, and I found her to be very insightful, empathic and non-judgmental as well. She seemed solidly committed to helping me, and truly cared. I've worked with Dal for a while now and have not been disappointed. I feel that, with her help, I have been able to step back, see myself more clearly and proactively make positive life changes. So in sum, if you're looking for an excellent therapist, I highly recommend Dal. She is a unique person and a seasoned therapist with a lot of wisdom and understanding. I'm really glad I found her and I plan to continue working with her in the future.

Amazing Work
I have been seeing Dal for several years now. I have worked with other therapists in the past while living in another state and here in MA as well. After the first session I knew how much Dal would be able to help me, and she certianly had with a variety of issies/topics. She is very knowledgeable, professional, kind, and truly cares about my mental health and well being. I'm really lucky I found her!

Exceptional unvarnished yet empathetic care
I have worked with a handful of therapists in my adult life. Speaking from considerable experience, Dal has proven to be the most dynamic and sure-handed of the group. Her communication style is direct while still being considerate of her patient’s triggers. She is able to distill her insights down into digestible, actionable recommendations to nurture collaboration and guide the journey. My experience working with her for the past half year makes me wish that I had encountered her at the outset of my self-betterment exploration. I cannot recommend Dal highly enough.
