Amanda Peden is amazing. She is kind and understanding but not a pushover. She gently pushed me outside my box to help myself deal with my issues. I am making incredible progress thanks to her and I love the homework I do. It’s difficult to do (emotionally) but I feel so much better afterwards. She always reassures me that my feelings are mine and they are not wrong, it’s ok to stand up for myself. I wish everyone could meet her, it is life changing
