I have sat with hundreds of individuals over the years who already knew the answer before they ever walked into my office. They knew the relationship was wrong.

It’s one of… Read More

Meeting with Bissan wasn’t my idea to be honest, but I’m extremely glad and grateful to have been shown her by my parents. I’d be lying if I said I think therapy is fake and that this didn’t help. Cause it did and overall i am extremely grateful that I began talking to her, my life flipped in a good way. I began going out more, I grew confidence in stuff and overall just all of the dread I had for awhile kind of just vanished slowly as I kept seeing her. This is the most effective counseling i’ve ever been to, and this isn’t my first. She truly helps.

Bissan has been such a gift in my life. From the moment I met her, I felt seen, understood, and truly cared for. She has a way of listening that makes you feel safe to be completely honest, while also gently guiding you toward healing and growth. Her kindness and compassion come through in every session, and she never makes you feel rushed or judged. I’ve gained so much clarity and peace since working with her, and I can honestly say she’s helped me through some of my hardest moments. I’m deeply grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone looking for not just a counselor, but a true source of support.
