Mimi was so great. She was constantly checking in with me to see how I was doing and offering an ear for when I needed to talk through difficult situations. She helped me through one of the toughest years I've ever experienced due to my anxiety, and without her help I don't think I'd be where I am today.

I couldn't be more grateful for having Mimi around when I needed to find my way out of depressive thoughts. She is a wonderful person, with great knowledge of focusing on the important things in life. To have someone that gives you so much insight and care is truly remarkable, and I will cherish the learning process for a lifetime. A friendly voice in a chaotic world makes a huge difference, and I was given the tools and advice I needed, and found the peace within through her help. Thank you!

I have been working with Mimi for about 6 months now and I have never had this type of therapeutic relationship with a mental health professional before. I consistently feel safe and secure in our sessions and I always leave feeling better.

Perfect timing for this review. The fact that out of nowhere I get a notification that I have a message. It was Mimi Akhand checking on me. I really appreciate that. That let's me know that I'm not alone in this process of growth. Thank you

Mimi is the first therapist I've had who I've had an amazing experience with. She is great at her job in all the practical ways, but more than that I feel like she actually cares. I feel so relaxed when I talk to her, as if I'm talking to a friend about what I'm going through. That's something I've never had with a therapist and I really appreciate her for it.
Written on Sep 13, 2021 after therapy with Mimi for 1 year and 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, grief, eating disorders, self esteem, and adhd
Mimi is kind, open and honest but not harsh. She almost feels like a friend in some ways. None of my sessions are scheduled and that works for me because I don't think my disorder is predictable enough for me to actually schedule time in. I like that I can message her whenever and she responds the next day.

Mimi is an absolute pleasure to talk to. She makes me feel so comfortable, heard, and understood. She also always has spot-on advice and is so amenable and understanding. Mimi is really starting to help me when so many therapists haven’t. I would highly recommend Mimi to anyone.

Mimi is super helpful! She's calm, kind and honest and I honestly couldn't ask for more from a therapist. She has been helping me through my relationship issues, family trauma and general anxiety. She's the best.

I’ve struggled with a lot these past 2 years and Mimi has always been so understanding. She always knows the right things to say and is always so helpful. She’s the sweetest person I know. And always makes the effort to ensure I’m always okay. No matter what life throws at me she’s always puts me in the best frame of mind. I could have asked for a better counsellor. And now I can go into life with so much happiness :)

Mimi is incredibly intuitive, caring, attentive, and has helped me see things about myself and my life, environment, relationships, that I’ve had difficulties seeing or understanding before. Overall my perspective in life has developed, matured, and I’ve learned skills to adapt, respond to, and handle life’s short and long-term challenges through my work with Mimi.

Mimi has been so wonderful for my mental health. I can tell she genuinely listens to me and responds with care. I really appreciate her attitude in sessions, where I can speak about what has happened recently in my life, and she can help direct the conversation to the greater issues I’ve been working to address. Cannot recommend her enough!

Mimi was incredibly supportive through such a difficult time, she responded to messages quickly and was able to do calls and video calls with her on a regular basis which meant alot. She is incredibly warm and caring and felt she was really there for us, and she is really easy to open up to and share things with, I never felt judged, I felt I could say whatever I felt and could speak freely. Thanks so much Mimi for all the support in such a difficult time.
