Financially, I needed to transition from an out-of-network to an in-network provider. After seeing the same therapist for over ten years, I was also looking to shake things up by working with someone new. Leigh was very welcoming and warm. She shared a bit about herself and created a safe atmosphere for discussion. As I talked about my background, Leigh pulled up a diagram to further explain a therapeutic process we could use to work on my areas of struggle. Overall, I had a great intro session.
