This was only my first meeting with Perla, but she made me feel comfortable with being vulnerable which is really difficult for me. I appreciated how she guided me through the conversation, being this was my first therapy session ever.

Perla made me feel so at ease to open up to her. She gave me the opportunity to speak about my issues without feeling judged or rushed. I appreciate that being that therapy is new to me.
