I appreciate how Carla will talk about her past that lines up with how I'm feeling. It helps me feel not alone in this chaotic world; like it does happen and it'll be ok.

After first few emails I felt that Carla would be a good match as my therapist, but after few minutes of taking with her ai knew that it was more than luck. She read my emails, listened carefully and somehow I felt understood. I know I need to do the work, but it felt as I saw someone who brought me great relief and it helped a lot and brought great hope. She is very responsive, nice, professional, pleasant and just with the perfect amount of experience.
