Stepping into Dr. Tate-Gould's office for my first women's group experience had me nervous with anticipation.  Having not participated in a session like this, I was excited, scared and apprehensive all at once.  The moment I arrived and others started to enter, I felt a calming presence take over.  I looked at the other ladies and immediately started to feel at ease knowing I wasn't alone in anything I was experiencing.  Each week Dr. Tate-Gould and the other ladies listened without judgment and with empathy.  Dr. Tate-Gould has a gentle way of telling the truth while being thoughtful, respectful and listening carefully to questions and concerns.  I was able to identify with the stories and experiences that each member brought to the table, and valued their insights and offerings of understanding and tools for me to get through my challenges.  

I am so grateful to have worked with Dr. Tate-Gould and the women that were in my group.  I looked forward to every session as I know it brought perspective and light that I had not thought about.  I felt heard and understood, welcomed and validated.  The group sessions provided more than I could have ever experienced with individual therapy.
