Client testimonials

"The therapist I spoke to was exceptionally friendly and listened to what I had to say. I felt like she was genuinely taking notes of what worked for me with therapy. Phone calls can make me anxious, and the fact that I am speaking with a new therapist always adds to that, but I felt good after the call and am looking forward to working with her!"
- Zencare client August 2022
