If you are looking for a therapist that is genuine and speaks with you from a very real and professional manner, Mrs. Selma I may be a great fit for you.
We’ve only had 2 sessions so far and I feel very comfortable with her already. She’s given me tools and the confidence needed to address issues I struggle with and I appreciate her so much for this.
I look forward to meeting with her regularly.
