What are people saying about counseling & mental health in San Francisco, CA?
This is a review for counseling & mental health in San Francisco, CA:
“May is such a game changer! I could not recommend working with her more. She really helped me unlock the root of some of my blocks and be able to move forward in a different way. While May lets you drive the direction of your session after the initial groundwork is laid and she clearly understands your goals and where you are coming from, her thoughtful questions and nurturing approach offers so much guidance and insight along the way. I have spent a lot of time going to different types of therapy and different therapists and finally committing to going to May has offered so many breakthroughs and given me the tools to move forward on my own for the first time in a long time.”
