The right therapist for every person is unique for every person (which is why I chose 9 instead of 10), because only that person can determine if the therapist is a good fit or not. I would recommend to anyone interested in doing brainspotting or internal family systems therapy to give Laura a try to see if she's the right fit for them. She has been just the right fit for me.
