Written on Nov 12, 2020 after therapy with Wafa for 2 months on issues concerning relationship issues
I’ve had a few sessions with Wafa. She is kind, attentive, good sense of humor, and is firm in her approach which I was hoping for. I’m pregnant and she has been great help in conquering issues related to pregnancy, relationships, and the identity change that comes it.
She asks great questions that lead me to consider the root of my problems and gives good practical suggestions to move forward in healing/changing limiting behaviors/thoughts. She checks in on me in between sessions as well.
Moreover, Wafa ends sessions naturally, not abruptly and gives me something to think about and work on for the week. So far, because of her insight and attention to detail, I feel I can move forward in a positive direction in my life and relationships.
