I have finally realized that I need someone, UN-biased (the ESSENTIAL word here), to allow myself to speak freely and openly as possible about whatever struggles, thoughts, etc. might be bothering me A dear friend recommended Tree of Life Therapy and I couldn't be happier with the assigned therapist I've been placed with OR the quality of the building, especially inside: the waiting room offers coffee, water and a variety of hot tea while one waits in the tranquil atmosphere which helps ease any anxiety. Also welcome are those who fall into the LGBTQIA "label" (such as myself) with open arms; ToL is also registered as a "safe place".

The first visit is simply the patient and assigned therapist getting to know a bit about the other, but mainly to ensure that the informal relationship that may eventually develop between the two, a) will leave the patient feeling they got what they came for while also b) leaving the therapist in a positive place as well. If either one feels unhappy or closed down while in the other's company, the secretaries will happily assign someone new until a good fit is found. I overwhelmingly adore my therapist because I can be 100% open and there is never any afterthought of judgment. I ALWAYS leave with smile and a weight lifted and it always feels like I've simply been talking with a friend who knows exactly when I just need to vent or if I may need input. NOT saying this place is for everyone, but it sure beats lying on a couch with an uppity therapist behind you, never uttering a word with one leaving probably worse than before the appt. I love Tree of Life!!!
Sorry for short novel, but I do hope you find what you are looking for.
