My 1st session with Emma was amazing. She made me feel heard, supported, and gently reminded me of the goodness found in our faith, grounding me during a time when I felt overwhelmed. What stood out most was how she shared bits of her own experience in such a thoughtful and appropriate way, helping me feel truly understood. Her presence was calm and reassuring, and she made it clear that she’s here to walk alongside me, offering guidance and steady support.

I just ended my first ever therapy session with Ms. Ruiz and I have to say, if I could use more tabs on how to describe her, I'd use them all. She was patient because I started crying instantly (I was extremely nervous), she was warm, she had great suggestions, she made me feel empowered in her positive words. She made me feel super optimistic about the growth I will do AND about my next session with her. Ms. Ruiz, you are AMAZING!!

She was very insightful and looked for a solution to solve my problem in an unconventional way.
