She's the best therapist i've ever had. She listens, she's not judgmental. It feels good to have someone to talk to that. Looks like you that understands my culture because she's a part of the culture understands my spirituality, and my relationship with God she's not demeaning. She's not disrespectful, and she seems to have a very kind heart, and I love the fact that she seems to understand me.
