She’s awesome it doesn’t feel like therapy talking to her. It feels like talking to someone you know without the judgement and or feeling like they’re putting you down

My therapist has transformed my life in ways that I didn't think possible at the height of my depression, anxiety and PTSD. She helps me understand myself, moving me from fears and tears to joy and purpose.
