the appointment went really well! I really like her way of approaching as she makes sure the things she says and the questions she asks me doesn't come off as judgemental and not like every other mental health professionals, and she doesn't give any advice that I know wouldn't work for me (again, unlike every other mental health professionals). She's overall a very friendly, warm and cool person to talk to! 🙂 I'm so glad to have someone, let alone a mental health professional who is also diagnosed autistic that I can talk to!
