Had my first session with a new therapist yesterday. I have a great feeling about her👍 Diane is knowledgeable about ADHD, very insightful, and genuinely caring. She totally gets me already! She asked 100 questions about my history, family dynamics, what I was working on with my last therapist, work, and home life. She made great suggestions, namely journaling, and following up with daily affirmations. Thank you DIANE! I am so looking forward to working with you! 🌹
