From the start, Nima made me feel comfortable and ultimately in control of where we go and what we explore. As someone who was hesitant to begin therapy, I cannot imagine having been paired with a better therapist who understands where I am coming from and offers practices, tools, and insights that had never occurred to me before. The work we have done in the few short months thus far has been instrumental to my overall mental well-being and quality of life (family, dating, career, health, and friendships).
