I was nervous to start therapy. Especially not being face to face with one. But this has helped me out tremendously. Especially being open on the weekends. I really appreciate my therapis

Gail Albers has been a strong influence in my healing process. She listens to me and has guided me through one of the most challenging times of my life. She shows complete respect for my issues in this last phase of my life and has helped me navigate my elder years. I’ve learned to relish life and feel joy again. She’s caring and sensitive and lets me find my own path. That is very valuable to me.

It's kind of early in the process but I can feel Gail training me, like any teacher would, to be educated on things I wasn't even aware of. With this knowledge I finally feel more jn control and that's something I haven't had in a while
