Patient reviews
“Again, Brianna is a really attentive and empathetic listener. She asks thoughtful questions and gives considerate and proactive feedback. Today we discussed how we will learn about nutrition and the process of exposure that we will take. She also asked what kind of barriers I anticipate and how they can affect my motivation. She is incredibly patient and positive.“
June 20th, 2024“Asked all the right questions and allowed me to elaborate. Normally these sessions come off as checking a bunch of boxes but I felt Brianna was present and listening. I was very impressed.“
July 21st, 2024“Because the dietitian was very helpful in getting to know my habits when it comes to eating. And also sharing the process of how she will help me on my journey.“
