"Our therapist was very direct and personable. Her approach to the informed consent and disclosure process was fluid and easy to understand. I was able to get a feel for her personality during the session and appreciated her ample attention to my reactions and phrasing while I shared. She made sure to provide space for me to learn about her and ensure that my questions were answered satisfactorily so I could make an informed decision about my choice to work with her."
