I switched to Al Balaa during a time of personal immense turmoil and I came from a therapist who I really felt did not respect me. Al Balaa has validated my feelings and listened to me, empathized, and supported me. He is also very kind and knowledgeable. I feel very very lucky to have randomly matched with him, especially because out of all the therapists I've had over the years I really only liked a few. Thank you!
