I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, and challenging life events. Getting to the point we realize we need help can be the first hurdle; the next one is to make sure the relationship you have with your therapist is the right fit for you. Nobody knows you better than you; trust your gut, and do what feels right for you.
