Dr. Athuman is authentic, attentive and our first session was good. Looking forward to future sessions.

She is excellent. I am new to therapy. My only hesitation is if my therapist is a good fit for me. That will take time to discern. She is skilled, available, and professional. I just need to keep going to see if this is the right fit for me. Not criticizing the therapist as this is totally subjective. I think we are going is a good direction so far. Super receptive, no nonsense, and yet highly empathetic and willing to really listen. I’m happy with this experience so far. Therapy is a weird when it’s your first time.
