Provider was very good and knowledgeably

Blanca is an amazing therapist. I always feel heard and supported during our sessions. Any time I have problems in my life, we find ways to find solutions that genuinely work when I apply them. They are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and make therapy fun to go to. I always leave my sessions better than when I started and am so grateful for that. They are the best therapist I've ever had and I hope to keep having sessions for a long time.

My provider is an active listener, and I feel supported during our sessions, even during tough conversations.

Alex is exactly what I needed in a therapist—she’s a great listener, can jump right back into a topic even if we haven’t spoken in a couple months, and is very good at pushing back. She’s really helped me manage some of my negative thought patterns, get better at knowing when I’m feeling depressed, and put me in better control of my anxiety.
