She is amazing!
Ms Jamila always calms down my anxiety. She helps me break down my concerns into achievable goals and has given me so much clarity. She’s teaching me coping skills I never knew how to apply. She’s actually my first therapist and I haven’t felt the need to find another. She’s exactly what I needed for this moment in my life.
Jamila is great, I really appreciate her time.
working with Ms. Jamila has dramatically helped me change my life in a positive way. I look forward to hearing her opinions about situations and how to work with difficult people or try to make the most out of a situation. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Jamila is very nice and professional. She gives great guidance to help accomplish my goals and practice self care
Jamila listens to exactly what I say and gives constructive advice. From the very first session, she gave me helpful advice on how to better take care of my self, focusing on self care. I listened to her, got checked out by the doctor and accomplished some stuff for myself I have been putting off for a while, and I’m glad I did! Now I’m working on setting boundaries with others. She actively sets new goals for me to accomplish and I feel fulfilled when I do them
