Thank you! Verbalizing the anxiety, protection, and depression beast was helpful - I'd never thought about my anxiety being a many armed, tendril-type thing until now and it's feeling nice to have that imagery.

Archer's the best! Truly not much they can do better, they are hands down my top tier in terms of care I've received from a therapist. I constantly feel listen to, seen, and heard by them.
Archer is truly one of the best therapists I have ever had in my life. They are so incredibly supportive and really listen to everything i say. I am so grateful Archer is my therapist!!
Archer has a dialogue with me throughout the session and knows when to challenge me to push through my fear.
