“It was my first appointment with her. She was professional, asked questions to have deeper understanding of what I am saying and clear on the direction. I appreciated her professionalism and looking forward to seeing her next. I’d write more as my appointments with her progress.

“I'd recommend my therapist. She is a great listener and so far seems very knowledgeable about her field. I just wish the intake process is shorter. While I understand it is crucial to learn all about the patient's medical and mental health backgrounds, 4 sessions are too long to address the need the patient reaches out for, to begin with. If I am correct, most patients reach out so they can talk to someone somewhat urgently but having to wait 2 weeks to get to the point is rather, pointless.”
