My previous therapist exhibited a lack of attentiveness, even during the initial sessions. It appeared as though she showed little genuine concern for my statements, which ultimately led me to question my own thoughts and perceptions by the session's end. Considering she has no available appointments for me and I must begin anew with another provider, I find this experience to be an inefficient use of time, especially after waiting extensively to find a suitable professional.

She was very kind. Listened to everything I had to say. Didn’t rush me when I was talking. I feel like she actually heard me and didn’t just listen. She made me feel comfortable with a safe space.

Marsha was nice, warm and understanding. She explained my options and was honest about how to go about finding the right therapist.
