    I've been seeing Rita now for more than a year both solo and with my wife and she has not only…read morehelped me personally, but she has helped us through some tough points in our marriage when we didnt have the proper tools to do ourselves. The thing I appreciate about Rita's approach is its a very personal 1 on 1 session for 1+ hours vs a turn and burn 30min session at other places. This really gives you the time to open up and breakdown the issues that might be happening in your life at the time. These sessions have helped me immensely and I appreciate what she's done for me and my marriage!

My husband and I reached out to Rita last December after reading her excellent reviews and believing she would be a good fit to support us through some challenges involving one of his past relationships. Our initial joint session with Rita was encouraging, and the individual sessions that followed felt meaningful and productive. I truly felt that she cared about both our relationship and our personal well-being. However, circumstances changed when my husband's former partner discovered that we were seeing Rita and appeared at her office without notice. I was initially told that Rita had declined to meet with her. I later learned that Rita did in fact meet with her--on more than one occasion--despite the ongoing issues and history that were discussed in our sessions. We are now involved in a legal matter with this individual, and her court filings include information that could have only come from private sessions with Rita, including deeply personal details about my husband and me. This has caused us significant concern regarding confidentiality and professional boundaries. Our attorney has attempted to contact Rita for clarification, but we have not yet received a response. We sincerely hope she will come forward to provide accurate information so this situation can be properly addressed.

    I cannot say enough good things about her and the way she conducts her practice. Her wisdom,…read moresupport, and comfort is unparalleled. She offers genuine, real world advice with a mature and sympathetic voice that many adults decades older would never be able to replicate. She is endlessly accommodating and always quick to respond to any form of communication. I have worked with various therapists in the past, and none, except for Lauren, have offered the insight and opportunity that allows for growth and healing through life's challenges.

    From the owner: Making this call, or looking for a therapist in general can be a scary thing. Some people have…read morenever been to counseling and don't know what to expect. Others have had negative experiences with people they've confided in the past that make them hesitant to put themselves out there again. I am here to make it as easy for you as possible. I will walk you through the process, and answer any questions along the way. I know that trust is earned, and our relationship should be one of high trust, and I'm ready to earn yours. I believe every person is different and deserves individualized counseling based on their own personal needs. Clients usually find that I'm a good match as a therapist if they are seeking someone positive, non-judgmental, kind, & respectful with a hint of humor. I am authentic to who I am in session and out of session, and I want you to feel comfortable to do the same. My goal is to offer the highest quality mental health care possible. I primarily work with couples, individuals and families who desire to have healthier relationships and want a greater sense of satisfaction from life. As someone who understands the impact of mental health on all aspects of our lives, my work is extremely important to me personally. I offer flexible scheduling and teletherapy, please contact me for details. See additional reviews on Healthgrades.

    I am not shy to publicly state that I have had psychotherapy in my lifetime; probably just the way…read moreI was raised, not to be ashamed of this. Anyhow, before obtaining coverage under the Affordable Care Act I needed counseling big time and wanted someone close to the home. She gave me a cash discount based on my income, so I can't speak to the issue another reviewer had with billing/collections, which is unfortunate. I can speak to the counseling I received, especially since I happen to be agnostic and gay but Sharilyn is a faith-based therapist. Amazingly, she helped me tremendously with many issues I was having, so don't shy away just because someone is faith-based and it isn't your cup of tea. Sharilyn is a licensed professional and as such will only offer faith if that is what the patient wants. Since that was something that I was not interested in, it was not provided, and that is how this stuff is supposed to work. I utilized her services off and on for several years and the only reason I don't see her now is it is nearly impossible to get an insurance carrier to do what is called an "assignment of coverage" once a year has passed since the provider provided services to the patient, which really sucks! Anyhow, Sharilyn is a great listener, empathetic, and very mellow, all important traits for a counselor! She was always timely with appointments and could squeeze me in at the last minute for "emergencies."

Recently, my insurance changed and it's been a hassle with all the changes but I did make sure that no matter what, Dr Zurita was on the list of the new insurance before signing on. Anyway, today I have to give a big Thank you to Summer at the call center. She helped me get everything together and corrected on my insurance paperwork and was just so professional and helpful with so much patience and kindness. Was able to answer all my questions and help me above and beyond! Actually...everyone I call into at the call center has always been absolutely awesome. I think that Neighborhood Healthcare has been a great provider for me. So Thanks to the Amazing Call Center and Dr Zurita and her Team!!! I really appreciate you!!

As I sat and waited there was a gentleman who became upset because he was not guaranteed to be seen. The man had showed to his appointment over 15 min late and questioned why he wouldn't be seen and even asked what patient was being seen before him. Not your business my guy. Then a second customer with ridiculous colored hair complained about her not getting a "transfer of care" and demanded why she wasn't getting a female dr. " they aren't accepting patients lady" what do you not understand. If you don't like it, pay out pocket for your insurance and you can choose whatever dr you like. I applaud the front staff for maintaining their demeanor with these difficult patients. I was at the location on 10/13/2025 at approximately 3:30-3:55pm when they had to deal with these rude patients.

I had struggled with anxiety for over half my life, to the point where even leaving my house felt overwhelming. As my anxiety worsened, my world kept getting smaller, I wasn't living much of a life. Starting this journey was scary, but Deanne made me feel completely heard during my consultation, and I knew I was in the right place to heal. I've now completed 17 sessions, and I'm honestly amazed at how much my life has changed. I'm facing triggers head-on with little to no difficulty, and I finally feel like I'm living again. If you're on the fence, go--show up scared, show up unsure. I only wish I had found this sooner. Thank you, especially to Bennett, for helping me through my hardest moments and celebrating my progress every step of the way.

I had so many indescribable symptoms and was no longer living life, spending months in bed, not recovering. Through oxygen therapy, one day I had a moment of clarity that neurofeedback was what I needed next. I searched area clinics and though it was a long drive for me, I chose this clinic based upon the heartfelt reviews. From the moment I walked in I knew I was where I neededto be. I cannot say enough on how transformational it has been for me, I would not be functional enough to move into the next phases of recovery without it. Deanne and Bennett are so caring and knew the treatments I needed and worked with me, how my system tolerated, as it was a series of symptoms I was working through. They were both very knowledgeable and I was in the absolute best hands. There are so many ways neurofeedback can help people, I truly believe this saved my life. Thank you Bennett and Deanne for everything
