Joel A • May 09, 2019

She was very helpful. Easy to talk and get along with!

Tory W • November 12, 2018

She really listens and makes you feel safe & heard. Dr. Makin really explains everything, even when it comes to the forms you have to sign; she is very thorough. I look forward to meeting with her again and continuing treatment.

Jordan W • August 30, 2018

Every minute per session has been a progressive step forward in my experience with Sara. Her holistic approach erects no diagnostic walls of confinement, rather gnostic guardrails alongside the path to well being. Sara has an intrinsic ability to both relate and channel. The square footage of her office is paradoxical when considering the world of open space she provides for a positive and healing episode.

Maurice W • August 30, 2018

She is very nice and easy to talk to. She is very knowledgeable; and it was a great experience!

Steve N • August 29, 2018
