After TOO many therapists that just didn't fit, I was about to quit trying but gave it one more try and thank goodness I did! Griselda has been a life changer for me in regards to giving perspective, goals to work toward, and all the while in a non judgmental, compassionate manner.

I have so much thanks for Griselda this year! I feel like I've really been able to come a long way with my parents and it was very much with her help. So much insight, wisdom, and creative ideas and I also have more empathy and perspective on my parents' feelings sometimes too which I think I need.
