Today was a very good session. Very eye opening for me
she is one of the best therapists I have ever been to. compassionate, empathetic, and reassuring is all I can say that comes to mind whenever I am meeting with her.
Continue to be a listening ear and give me direct guidance along with advice but continue to keep it real as she has been doing.
Keep up the great work. I really appreciate Dr. Batiste patience and guidance.
