Nearly 2 years of seeing Gretchen and she has helped me navigate so many tough life situations. My confidence has grown and I attribute that to her!
Gretchen has always been above and beyond for me. She listens to my concerns and I feel understands how I feel and deal with life.
Gretchen is a wonderful therapist who has helped me deal with some professional and personal issues. I am from a different culture, and she has taken the time to learn about it and understand how it affects my beliefs. I appreciate her listening skills and her ability to be a 'mirror' to help me see what I am thinking and feeling.
Gretchen was easy to talk to and was very prompt with messages. I’ve only met with her once but she seems very knowledgeable. She has given me worksheets to complete to help with our conversations and to help get me thinking about my issues and possible solutions.
Gretchen is amazing so I have to rate her based off everything she has already helped me with and through.
Gretchen is very understanding and offers kind, objective views of what she feels is necessary for me to hear.
Gretchen is professional, attentive, and nonjudgmental. She has made starting/going back to therapy comfortable and welcoming.
She’s the beeest! She responds to messages in very timely manner and she asks really insightful questions! I enjoy Gretchen so much!
I greatly appreciate Gretchen's way of communicating and offering help and insight. As I learn and grow in my life her guidance has been very beneficial to me.
I struggled with therapy because I felt like I never had a strong connection with my therapist, Gretchen changed that. I felt very confident in getting my jumbled up thoughts out to her and she helped me navigate through, and what to make of them. It’s weird to say but I looked forward to our session each time and I felt great every time our session ended. I’m very grateful for her help and expertise!
I cannot recommend Gretchen highly enough. After some hesitation about returning to therapy, she has made the process incredibly smooth and a genuinely great experience. Gretchen is not only supportive but also skillful in guiding me through various challenges. Over the past few months, I have faced significant personal hardships, and having Gretchen by my side has been invaluable. Her support has truly helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you, Gretchen, for your unwavering support and exceptional guidance.
Gretchen is an excellent, caring and skillful therapist. She really listened and gave thoughtful feedback and asked questions that helped deepen my understanding and insight. I'm grateful to her!
Gretchen is amazing at seeing me and knowing just what I need to keep moving forward with what I want most from my life. I started out 4x/month and I’m currently meeting with her 1x/month and feeling well supported!
Gretchen Wesche has been so supportive via truly listening and understanding, offering guidance where appropriate, and offering a variety of comfortable and convenient ways to move forward through therapy. And she is compassionate.
She’s amazing. Exactly who I needed right when I needed her.
Gretchen excels in her profession, displaying remarkable professionalism and an exceptional ability to listen and offer insightful guidance.
She is very compassionate and thoughtful. Easy to talk with. Appreciate her words of wisdom and encouragement.
I really appreciate Gretchen, very professional and I feel awesome when our session ends.
She is great. I think it will be a good fit
I love Gretchen! She is very down to earth and has really helped me in numerous ways to pull me put of the dark places I have been finding myself in lately. She is very nurturing and understanding and has also helped me find out some things about myself that I never knew may have caused me problems. She is a top 1%er and I highly recommend her.
She has been absolutely wonderful with everything, I'm able to talk to her freely and she's been able to help with how to deal with issues
Gretchen has helped me so much in a short period of time. I feel like I have someone in my corner, providing encouragement and support. 100% recommend.
I was hesitant about reaching out to help me sort through a challenging situation at work, but decided I needed to when the stress began to affect my physical as well as mental health. Meeting with Gretchen has been a godsend! She has this ability to help me see things in a new light. I feel like she really understands me and has given me new tools to help me cope with stress.
Gretchen is amazing, in the short time I have been seeing her I feel that she is a perfect fit for me, everything I didnt even know I needed in a therapist. Gretchen has already in a short time spend helped me in so many ways. I've finally found therapy and a therapisst that works for me!
She’s really helped me with self confidence, not taking on other’s problems as my own, and offered a wide variety of tools to get me to think in a more productive and positive mindset. She’s great!
I love working with Gretchen. She’s taught me a lot about how I navigate the world, and I has guided me through difficult situations. Through Gretchen, I’ve discovered how to stand strong in what I know and who I am, and I’ve learned the skills to be less reactive to other’s emotions and behaviors.
I enjoyed talking to my therapist. I’m looking forward to our next session.
I’ve only had two sessions with Gretchen but I’ve really enjoyed the time spent together and insights she has provided. She’s a good listener and I am looking forward to seeing her in the future
Always responds quickly. Very accommodating on scheduling!
I've only had 2 sessions with Gretchen so far and I think she's outstanding. It's been a long time since I've been able to click with a therapist and I'm feeling very encouraged right now. Gretchen asks the right questions and makes great observations. She's also sent me some really impactful questionnaires to help me better understand where I'm at and to guide our sessions.
Wonderful!
Super nice. I only have had one session so far, but Gretchen always responds to my journal entries.
