Ive always been hesitant to seek therapy as I have a hard time trusting people. I took the risk and sought out help that I desperately needed. I was matched with Mara and she has been a joy to work with. She is compassionate, understanding, gentle, and gives wonderful advice. I feel greatful to have her support and expertise as I try to maneuver through my issues.
