Aleks has been a great therapist for me (24 male). he has been able to build a connection with me and dive deep in to my past to bring forward emotions that were tucked away but needed to seethe light of day. He has not shown any sort of judgment but has also been firm while reminding me of boundaries I set for myself. I would 100% recommend Aleks if you need someone to keep you on a straight and narrow path while overcoming emotional hurtles .
