it feels like your playing the lottery when you are pitching a therapist from a website. sure there's a photo and a blurb about them and their therapy style, but you never know if you're gonna jive with someone until you meet them face to face (or zoom meeting to zoom meeting). right from the start amoreena was open, knew how to communicate, was a true listener, and empathetic. she has really helped me take a deeper look at myself and how to deal with myself so i am better able to handle the outside noise. i would recommend her if you are looking for someone who can not only listen, but can dialog, relate, and has actual helpful tips.
