Report
I have been seeing Jacinta for a couple of months now and every time I leave our sessions I feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Jacinta is friendly, patient, open-minded and non-judgmental. She gives me a safe space to talk about any struggles I am going through and always offers me solutions and/or steps to take going forward.
