I have had other therapists. This has been a unique experience for me. My therapist really gets me. She has Sage wisdom Beyond her years. She gives me different ways of looking at things and suggests a variety of ways of application. In just a few months we've accomplished together as a team more than 5 years of therapy with another. I like the homework she gives me and the books she recommends for additional introspective. She is not pushy about getting things accomplished. She understands when life happens. I'm able to open up and not feel judged. This has been a great experience for me.

Shahla is very good at what she does. She listens carefully and thoughtfully. And because she is both very intelligent and very empathetic she handles our sessions with insight and compassion. I also never feel judged which creates a space to be really honest. I highly recommend her.
