"After struggling for years with my gender identity and coming to terms with being a transgender woman, it was important for me to find a compassionate and accepting therapist to help me sort through my complicated feelings. Eileen checked these boxes and many more. She listens without judgment, provides great perspective, and encourages me to be true to myself. I couldn’t ask for a better therapist to help me along my journey than Eileen."
