Dr. White is a compassionate, knowledgeable and insightful therapist. She easily hones in on the issues and encourages an open discourse. The dreaded speechless time lags are non-existent. Her manner is warm but professional. While strangely ( first time in 30 years) encouraging clients to formally address her as 'Dr. White", her manner is neither formal nor arrogant. Perhaps the formality is to protect the professional separation necessary between doctor and patient. My only criticism is her lack of follow up on previous a visit and on her requests for 'homework'.. A fifty minute conversation, often emotional and/or painful, usually ends inconveniently requiring payment and appointment making. I feel a psychological jolt when emotions are high, the session ends and the check written. That abrupt end needs closure the next visit but is oft forgotten. It maybe a joint responsibility to renew the topic but not to be overlooked. Therapy is hard under any circumstances
