I've been seeing Paloma for about five months now and I feel like I've grown so much. I've been able to process a lot of pain and trauma while also finding ways to cope with present challenges. Our therapeutic relationship has also grown, and I feel like I can talk to her about anything and everything. She validates me and acknowledges my feelings while helping me to find my own answers to my problems. It's been such a great experience with her, and I definitely see myself staying with her long-term.

Although I have on scheduled two sessions with Ms.Chavez, she has been so patient and helpful. I do not feel awkward or pressured to say everything I want in that moment. She lets me ease into my concerns that I need help with. She also isn’t serious the whole time of the session which allows me to feel more comfortable while speaking with her.
