"I really like my therapist, your website made a perfect match. I also like worksheets that make me reflect and dig deeper in my feelings. Yoga classes are great, everyone should do them. The only thing is the clunky website, hard to answer next to my therapist's questions and we didn't have video on our 1st session. For now, I am happy I join and I am looking forward to feeling better. Thanks."
