I've been in therapy before, and have had good and bad experiences, but working with Alayna has been nothing but helpful since I've started. She repeats back what I've said, with room to correct or elaborate, instead of deciding what it is that I mean. She works with me instead of for me, so I don't feel dragged along or pushed around. She meets me where I am at. Every unease has been worked through right when I felt it, and she keeps me grounded while I explore deeper feelings and confusions.
