I can't speak highly enough of the quality of group therapy I received through participation in multiple groups at [Dr. Crowley's office]. I gained invaluable insight and skills to help cope with my mental health challenges. I found the group leaders to be enthusiastic and invested, with novel approaches and unique topics that are not available elsewhere. The small group sizes allowed for the material to be applied directly to group participant's lives, and encouraged an interactive environment which helped me feel not so alone with my struggles.- Anon, Boston, MA

Dr. Crowley has been a life changing resource for me. I am diagnosed with OCD and am recovering from an eating disorder as well. When I am meeting with Dr. Crowley, I feel heard. She exudes compassion and empathy, and makes her space a judgment-free zone. She also adds her knowledge of research to support what she is saying. This is so helpful to me because it gives me more reason to shift my own thinking when I'm feeling stuck. While this combination of compassion and research works for me, I sense that she would find the right balance for each client individually. Dr. Crowley seems to know intuitively when to gently press me for more information and when to let me share on my own. Working with Dr. Crowley has given me the therapeutic space I need and leaves me feeling cared for and valued. Her warmth, intuition, humor, intelligence, and compassion are gifts that have not only helped me through some difficult times but have also helped me to see my own beauty. - Anon, Boston , MA
