My sessions with Ashanique have been productive from the first day. She immediately asked about my goals with therapy and we have worked towards these goals since then. I feel very lucky; I realize how finding the right therapist for an individual can be a journey, but it has worked easily and productively with Ashanique from the start. Being able to attend my sessions online is fantastic!
