Dr. Athuman makes me feel very heard and very seen. She picks up quickly on what my struggles are and responds in a way that lets me know she truly understands me. I appreciate her so much!

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.

I was very nervous about putting myself out there but it has been freeing to finally have my past out in the light. It seems to be that it isn't in the shadows it hasn't popped into to my thoughts like it used to I can finally put it behind me and move on.
