I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have found a therapist who has profoundly impacted my life. After struggling with previous therapists who couldn't help me open up and heal, my current therapist has been a game-changer. From the start, she created a safe and welcoming space where I felt comfortable sharing my deepest fears and traumas. Her empathy and understanding made me feel heard and validated. With her guidance, I confronted my inner struggles with newfound courage and resilience. Using a holistic approach tailored to my needs, my therapist seamlessly integrated various therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy/EDMR and mindfulness practices. Through our sessions, I gained a deeper understanding of myself, untangled past traumas, and developed healthier coping mechanisms.

It felt like I was talking to a friend rather than a therapist. Which made it so easy to just talk about my issues. Dr Masa made me so comfortable by asking me questions I didn’t think I would answer to a complete stranger but the fact that she asked questions but also was very non judgmental and so accepting blew my mind.

She is very sweet and receptive. She’s quite empathetic and works with me at my pace instead of setting the pace for me.
