Mavila is the absolute best. She listens, asks great questions, and most importantly doesn’t let me retreat when I start to shut down. I appreciate her demeanor, and find that she’s really easy to open up to.

She’s the GOAT. If I have to be in therapy for the rest of my life I hope she’s the therapist I get to see for that entire time. Truly an amazing experience in what can feel like a sea of impossible when trying to find a therapist that gets you.

She is wonderful! Very caring, knowledgeable, reasonable, and understanding.
She listens, but also prompts me to think beyond what I already had in mind.
