I am getting so much out of my sessions with Shashanah. She is a total pro: great listener, and always ready with a wise, intuitive observation, follow-up question, or practical suggestion. I feel totally comfortable in our sessions, and I'm excited about the work we're doing.

We’ve had two sessions and she’s already taught me more than I learned in three years with my prior therapist!!

I really like how supported and understood I feel when speaking with her. Anything I mention is listened to and I’m given feedback as well as ways to improve and perspective. The advice she gives has been working and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her.
