"I have seen a major change in the way I am able to handle my anxiety since working with Larisa. She is easy to talk to and a fantastic listener. Larisa helped me formulate methods through which to track my thoughts and to reframe my viewpoint. I have become less critical of myself through learning about cognitive distortions that will help me beyond my time in therapy. This has improved my life and my outlook drastically.
