So far it’s been about 4 sessions and I feel so much better about many things. Mari has giving me some great advice and is an amazing listener even when I feel I am repeating myself. I look forward to every session with her. 10/10 in my book!

Great app!! and I highly recommend you get it if you are or a loved one who is struggling with mental illness. And The fact that it's very affordable definitely doesn't hurt either. So not only will your wallet thank you, but your brain and body will as well.
[It got a bit corny at there, but Hopefully you will get the general gist of it lol.

Mari is patient and provides the space for me to open up about my experiences. She offers insights about the ways I've been thinking about past events. I can now look at some of my past choices and feelings with more understanding and consideration.
