I have tried therapy in the past and have always been somewhat resistant. However, I knew I needed help, and I have friends who have found a lot of success with therapy. I decided to give it another shot and I am so glad I did. Hanat is an incredible therapist who is both kind and empathetic, but also very practical and action based when providing strategies. I know that every person and situation is different, but she finds a way to help that is individualized to each person's needs. I am so grateful to have her as my therapist.
