“I have had many therapist in the past and Tamara really stood out of all of them to be quite honest. She understood me and didn’t get upset my therapy session with her. This is the first time in many years that I had a therapy session that my therapist did not get me upset. She was very clear and I was very clear and we understood what I wanted to be in my therapy sessions. Very satisfied”
