Going to therapy and speaking to a trained professional, they can give you new things that you maybe haven't considered before or even challenge you in ways that you haven't thought of, or question things that you've taken as facts for like years and years and actually make you think about things that you hold as part of your reality.
Picture this: a counseling psychologist who not only guides others but also draws from her own life experiences. That’s Nadia Rehman for you.
