I had an excellent first session with Simone. She created an environment where I felt comfortable speaking openly about experiences from my past as well as things happening in my life today. I especially appreciated her direct, authentic, and solution-oriented approach. She listened carefully, asked meaningful questions, and helped me look at some things from a different perspective. I left the session feeling that I had found a therapist who is a very good fit for me.

Really difficult session. Not sure if we progressed or went backwards. I atleast have more clarity on what I can do to try to make things better. Not sure if my partner will notice or are we too far gone to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Praying for clarity, restraint, and forgiveness on our journey.
