Ava was so easy to talk with that by the end of our first session together it felt as if she were an old friend who was also my professional counselor.

Ava is always encouraging and supportive of my goals. I have been in therapy for 20 years and Ava by far is the best therapist I have had. I am comfortable with her and know I can be honest without fear.
