This is my first session with her, pick her because she had a good review. But I feel very comfortable talking to her.

Walka is warm, compassionate, and makes me feel truly heard and supported since the very first session. She helped me take important first steps in my mental health journey, and I feel safe and encouraged throughout our conversations.

Walka was very nice and patient with me. As an individual that tends to worry about how others perceive me, she made me feel safe and didn't judge me. I would very much like to have another session with her.
