Although it was only 1 session so far, my session with Eric Key was great. We discussed my reason to choose therapy, any medications I am taking, he gave me an idea what to expect going forward, and told me I can message him at any time with any questions. I cannot think of anything more he could have done to help ease me into this journey. I am completely happy with my first encounter and look forward to more.
