It took me a while to find the right therapist and I’ve had a really good experience with Arfa. She is easy to talk to and makes it easy to feel comfortable right away. She listens closely, asks good questions, and gives advice that actually feels useful in real life. I also appreciate that she does not make things feel overly complicated and has a way of helping you think through things clearly. You can tell she really pays attention and cares about understanding what you’re saying. Overall I would definitely recommend her.

I really wanted to have a good experience, but unfortunately my first session with Arfa didn’t go how I hoped. While I was opening up about something very personal, the therapist yawned multiple times, which made me feel like I wasn’t really being heard. The session also went off-topic quite a bit, and a lot of time was spent on unrelated tangents and personal stories that didn’t feel necessary to what I was trying to talk about. It just didn’t feel like the focused space I was looking for. I know therapy is very personal and not every match works, but this first experience did not leave me feeling listened to or helped in a meaningful way.
