Joel Cutter is very good at listening and he balances validating my feelings with appropriately challenging and pushing back when he feels it necessary. He has been incredibly helpful in naming some of the issues that I am dealing with, which has been empowering.

I appreciate the fact Ms. Watson listens. She don't blurt out, she thinks carefully before speaking. When listening carefully to her words, it gives you later on after the session to take time and reflect on what you're experiencing. If that makes sense. I have no complaints, I'm satisfied with my sessions.
