Written on Mar 24, 2021 after therapy with Joan for 1 month on issues concerning lgbt, relationship issues, and intimacy-related issues
I was hesitant to start therapy on an online platform because I felt like a genuine connection would be hard to make over the phone. My first session with Joan subsided all my concerns regarding therapy using an online platform. She made me feel totally comfortable and I instantly felt like I had a safe space to talk about deep traumas without judgement or fear. She diligently provided me with resources to get properly medicated and overall cultivated an environment of warmth and trustworthy guidance. I valued our sessions greatly and I would highly recommend any of my friends, especially from the queer community, to her excellent services.
