“The connection was immediate. I felt I had found the right therapist for me. Similar challenges as women past 60, so relatable. As a retired therapist myself, it isn’t easy to find a therapist I feel understands what I am finding difficult as I get into my 80’s. A person to talk with who has experience in life and can offer suggestions that are based on experience. This is exciting for me! ”
