Shamim is such an empathetic, amazing therapist. She has helped me better understand and manage my anxiety and has been a massive support in my journey with depression.
I strongly recommend her as she has helped me cope with grief, depression, anxiety, and has helped me develop coping mechanisms I would not have learned without her.
