I sought out this therapist because she has knowledge in treating AuDHD patients. She listens well, has a great memory, and is willing to adjust her approach and try new approaches. However, most therapy sessions felt like we were role-playing therapy and not building an actual therapeutic relationship. She reads as cold/detached and very clinical with little warmth or emotional attunement. Overall, I think she is a good therapist but not the right fit for me.
