**Attention college students: Thank you for your interest in the practice! It is great to be found on the web and hear from you! However, due to the nature of the practice at this point, we are unable to provide therapy observation opportunities. I do look forward to hearing from you in the future, and would be happy to meet with you, and/or answer any questions. Good luck! -Meredith Duddy Handt
