Alva is great with proactive listening.
Thank you so much
It was pretty good first session!
Although I thought I was struggling with one thing, working through my problems we were able to identify the root cause. This was quickly apparent from the first two sessions. I appreciate her understanding as well when I had to help my family for a moment as well. I think if we weren’t in therapy I would have choose someone like her to be a close friend.
Going into this appointment was scary, but I have never felt more…accepted for something so simple as being me than I did today. Thank you.
