Prior to therapy I've never opened up to anyone. Especially a total stranger. I kept a wall up for so long that it was hurting me. Dr Fabber validates me but also helps me understand myself

So far I've had two sessions with Dr. Fabber and I can honestly say she's a godsend. She not only listens to what I am trying to say but she also hears what I can't vocalize. She reads me very well. She is honest and gently helps me see what's important and what is not on my road to recovery. She is funny and personable and genuine. She is responsive to the journal entries which I share with her. I am looking forward to continuing my therapy with Dr. Fabber. She wants me to get better and is showing me how to accomplish that one important step at a time. Very grateful to have her as my therapist.
