Dr. Mallory Thompson

"Nobody is broken. It’s about your expectations for the quality of your life. How do I want to feel? How do I think I deserve to feel? I just want to be able to be me and be as comfortable and as happy as I possibly can. And that’s what I wish for everybody." - Dr. Mallory Thompson
