Amy has tremendously helped me more than my psychiatric encounter. She listens very closely to everything I say and she responds skillfully and her inputs are very insightful and life changing when applied. 5/5 I would recommend.

She listens and respects/understands how a culture different from hers may impact the patient’s experiences and ability to handle their problems. She’s very respectful and offers great insight and advice
