Testimonials
Andrea has helped me work through the many emotions surrounding post-separation abuse. She is extremely intelligent, patient, kind, and compassionate. I love her realness and the connection we have established that has pushed me to grow into the best version of myself. I am forever grateful I found Durand Healing & Wellness!
I can see such a difference in both my kids and myself!
I’ve been in and out of therapy for 15 years. It wasn’t until I started seeing Andrea that change in my life happened. The endless encouragement, positivity, validation, and honesty Andrea gives is unmatched. I wouldn’t be who I am or where I am without the genuine care and love Andrea has shown me. I trust Durand Health with my life. Thank you 1000 times!
Dr. Durand has been amazing to work with. Her compassion and care for her patients is obvious, but she also has amazing knowledge that has helped me in so many ways. I am very grateful to have found Dr. Durand.
Neurofeedback has made changes in my daughter that I never thought possible. I know she will always have Autism but to see her functioning so much better and making friends has been life changing.
Olivia and Dr. Durand have me on the road to being a better person. While I know I have more work to do, I am forever grateful for all that has been done.
This practice has changed my life and my families life. Being able to all get help in one place has made such a big difference. The coordination between therapists, the compassionate care, the warm environment, the incredible therapists, I can’t say enough good things.
I am a different person than I was last year, neurofeedback and Dr. Durand’s team has help change me in ways I never thought possible.
The impact Dr. Durand has had on the mental health community in this area has been immeasurable. Her selfless service of others and focus on putting people first, has made her practice a safe place for all the kids I refer from our school.
