I’ve been seeing Dr. Rihaam for about a year, and I can honestly say she’s been a lifesaver. I came to her feeling overwhelmed by depression and anxiety, especially around the end of 2023, and I was also worried about my daughter’s possible autism. Before meeting her, I’d had a not-so-great experience with another psychologist, so I was a bit sceptical. But from the very first session, Dr. Rihaam made me feel heard and valued in a way I’d never experienced before ❤️
