"I understand how frustrating it is when past therapy experiences haven't felt right. Finding the right therapist can truly change that. Each one has a unique approach, and it might take a few tries to find the right fit. If you’re willing to give it another shot, I believe it could lead to meaningful growth and healing. You deserve to be heard and understood, and the right therapist can help you navigate your journey." - Sara
