Explanation

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.

Explanation

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.
