Cari so far has listened to me very well, she understands my issues and ultimately assists me to better myself

Written on Aug 20, 2024 after therapy with Cari for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

Life can be difficult. It's always one thing after another, but my therapist is a life line. She helps me keep myself grounded and focused on making the best choices for myself. Mental health is is extremely important.

Cari is very attentive and soft spoken in the most nurturing way. Her manner really helps me open up and feel comfortable. Often she says very few words, 'cause I have so many, but always she supports me when I cease talking and give her opportunity to. That said when I finish my story, she is always ready with validating words, and 2 to 3 sentence summaries of reinforcing how I might feel, suggestions, worksheets, practices, webinars, reading recommendations, etc. I'm just incredibly happy and grateful to have her as my advisor and recipient of sometimes hard stories.

I feel like she genuinely cared about the style of counseling I wanted and made sure to accommodate me when I expressed my biggest concerns. She gets straight to the point and is great with suggestions.

Cari is absolutely amazing. I was very worried about going to a therapist. She made me feel really at ease and you can tell she really cares. I’m so happy I got matched with her!
