Is professional and empathetic . I've had in person therapy years ago and know how to judge. Strongly recommend but matching is tricky and individualistic. Worth trying out!!

Laura has been wonderful. She understands my issues and she’s a great listener which I really appreciate. She gives me a lot of encouragement and gives me new ways to think about my issues. She’s extremely personable.

Connected immediately with my therapist the questions asked to pair you with the right person was dead on. Only my second session and I feel better than therapy I have had for years
