One of my big reasons I avoided therapy is that I had an experience with a therapist who seemed very judgmental. I don't feel any of that with Leah Ernste. She listens very well and helps guide me. It's as if I'm speaking with a well trusted family member. Leah has been a huge help for me so far and I'm very grateful I was matched with her right away.

This is my first time trying therapy as messaging instead of in person or via webcam and I love it. It feels so different than the other times I've attempted therapy. I feel very relaxed and connected to my counselor. I feel like I can truly open up to her and take my time to really express my thoughts. And Leah is so great at getting back to me and picking key things out of what I wrote. Her ability to zero in on the most important/relevant or eye opening statement of mine is incredible. Things I say that I feel like I just say in passing she picks up on and immediately draws attention to and make me realize how of all the things I wrote it is so significant and telling to my overall mental state.
