I really enjoyed my first session. Shamshad listened, processed, and provided initial steps for resolution. We have a lot to work through, but she was able to quickly identify large areas that need work without my stating it directly. I look forward to more visits.

She was very professional. I feel so empowered after just my first session. She challenged the way I was seeing myself and my situation. Best experience I've ever had with a therapist.
