Debbie Maxwell, Counselor

4.8(13)✓ Google-verified

Debbie Maxwell earns strong marks for being approachable and practical. Most reviewers praise her knowledge, techniques they can use between sessions, and her compassion when handling anxiety, grief, and trauma. One reviewer noted she can push too hard too fast with new trauma clients without first understanding what works for that individual, leading to resistance rather than progress.

Duncan Howe, Counselor

4.7(23)✓ Google-verified

Reviewers consistently describe Duncan as a skilled, attentive listener who creates a calm space to open up. Most report quick scheduling and practical takeaways like mindfulness techniques. One concern: initial front desk interactions can feel cold, though Duncan himself offsets this with warmth. His practice spans anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and panic attacks. Staff are noted as professional. He coordinates referrals to psychiatrists when needed. The therapist-client fit appears strong across reviews spanning over a year.
