I think for the future, allowing clients to put their preferred name and pronouns in their profiles would be more affirming. What I enjoy the most is that my provider is really good at fostering a safe therapeutic environment and they respect my queerness. During each session, I have become enlightened and motivated to work towards my goals. My provider is reliable, punctual, and understanding. They are amazing!!

It's nice to have in person therapy available most days, but virtual if it's ever required. The office is conveniently located & clean. . I'm SO appreciative of Kierra. She is a positive and reassuring person. The exercises she has done with me have stuck in my mind. I'm thankful she's willing to meet with me in the morning before I go to work.
