I am very happy with my new therapist Gilda. Although I’ve only had a couple of sessions with her, I feel she really understands me and is a wonderful problem solver. She is easy to talk to and is very nonjudgmental.

Gilda has altered her schedule to accommodate me before she ever talked to me. She has given me resources and the moment I did my first worksheet asked me about it, even though we have a session tomorrow. Very devoted and genuinely cares. She is also very to the point which is something I personally need at times
