"Hi, my name is Amy. I was looking for a therapist and I found out about JFS by doing an internet search.
Across the board all of the therapists at JFS had really good reviews and they had a lot of specializations when it comes to mental health.
I thought I’d try it out.
I was looking for help with anxiety and
they did a really great job pairing me with a therapist
because pretty much instantly I felt comfortable with her. I felt like she was someone who could really help me with the specific things that I’m struggling with. She’s very open-minded, very warm, very accepting, but also very knowledgeable and helpful with everything that I’m trying to improve upon.
For most people, when you’re going to counseling, it is very difficult to talk about things that you’re struggling with.
You’re hoping that the person that’s there counseling you isn’t going to judge you
or isn’t going to make you feel like you’re doing things wrong. [My counselor] has made me feel like it’s going to be ok because I have her on my team.
She has created a really welcoming, safe space for me to talk about very difficult, vulnerable subjects.
I’m very happy to have her as my therapist.
I really appreciate JFS. Whenever I come here it’s so welcoming; the staff members are all so kind. It’s a family environment. It’s a place where they’re gonna make sure you’re ok.
That’s a really nice feeling—that people care and that people are supporting you in your community.
