Gilda is wonderful and really puts effort into her care. She's kind when you need it and blunt when she needs to be. A great mix!

She's kind, not judgemental, but also casual and mellow. I've had a lot of built up issues lying around and she does a good job of feeling like a long lost friend with a degree in therapy. Wonderful advice and way of thinking about things!

My therapist is top-notch, empathetic, insightful, and genuinely cares about my growth. They helped me navigate some tough stuff and gave me tools that actually work. Super professional and a safe space to be real. 5 stars isn't enough I'd give her a 20 if I could!
