Na-Amau was super fun to talk to! She was very comforting - even if she was telling me something I was thinking of myself, she understands the doubtfulness and helps clarify feelings and help you make a decision. I recommend trying her as your therapist, especially if you are on the platform for the first time to see if therapy works for you
