This is my first session and I felt safe to share things I've been holding on to for years. Perla's approach is warm, empathetic and understanding which are things I value in a therapist.

When i 1st met Perla, we instantly clicked. It was very easy to talk to her and made me feel comfortable and i was able to open up to her.
