What People Are Saying

My experience with Dr Towne has been truly life-changing. My daughter has anorexia. From the very first session, Dr. Towne created a safe and welcoming space where my child felt understood and supported. She not only addressed the eating disorder but also helped our family navigate the emotional complexities that come with it. Through Dr Towne's compassionate guidance and tailored strategies, I have seen incredible progress in my child's recovery journey. We are deeply grateful for the positive impact she has had on our lives and highly recommend her to anyone seeking support in this area.

-Carla

Terra was recommended to my family and has supplied me with an unbelievable amount of support. As a fourteen year old with anorexia nervosa, I am so appreciative to have had her as my psychologist. She is a diligent therapist who shows so much passion for her work and demonstrates warmth and understanding towards her patients and their families. Terra has made every session enjoyable, and you can tell that she is a very empathetic and an intelligent woman. She possesses great knowledge on disordered eating and gives her patients an unbelievable amount of support. I cannot recommend her enough.

-Ellie
We have been so encouraged by our son's progress under Dr. Terra's skilled care and guidance. Dr. Terra is clear and communicative with our son and ourselves, and empowers us to apply the tools learned during session to outside of session for success. She also adapts treatment to our familial and religious preferences. After trying various unsuccessful routes to address our son's challenging relationship with food, we are so grateful to have found Dr. Terra!
