This is my first time ever having a Therapy. I am very glad that I have been matched with Sarah. I felt how a stone fall from my heart after talking to her. She really is amazing in her way. I felt very comfortable and covered in all ways while talking. She listens very carefully, understands what I mean even with all the chaos inside me and still knows how and where to support.
