The therapy room was hushed, bathed in the soft, grey light of a cloudy afternoon. As you entered, she looked up from her notebook, her movements deliberate and calm. She smoothed her cardigan, pushed her dark hair behind an ear, and offered a smile that was both professional and deeply kind. Gesturing to the chair across from her, she created an atmosphere of safety, her attention fully present, ready to listen without judgment to whatever needed to be spoken.
