Fran spent most of the appointment talking about herself and her kids. I think this was to make me feel comfortable, but it was really ridiculous how long I was expected to listen to her talk about her interests when I am paying her to talk about me. She is also incredibly out of touch - when I was talking about being overwhelmed by life in general she suggested I instacart my groceries... yes that certainly would be easier but I already cannot afford basic necessities Fran.

Francine was incredibly kind and warm during our session, and I truly felt seen and supported. Her compassion during such a painful time in my life made a real difference. I'm so grateful I found her and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of thoughtful, caring support.

I met with Francine today for the first time. She is a very nice person who listens and understands her patient. I have faith that she will help put me back together again and look foward to meeting with her again.
