I reached out to Congruent Mind during a time when I was struggling to navigate through life's challenges. I found myself overwhelmed with various issues, barely able to enjoy my daily life, had difficulty managing relationships with people I loved and struggling to manage my anxiety and persistent low mood. After being diagnosed with severe depression and moderate anxiety, I was hesitant about medication and adamant about not taking any meds.

Ms. Gazala not only respected my concerns but also guided me through every step with patience and understanding. She provided invaluable support as I attended sessions with the psychologist, addressing my issues with care and expertise. Her approach helped me through the process of withdrawal from medication, which was a significant concern for me.

Thanks to her guidance, I've gained a new perspective on life. I feel more confident and happier than I have in a long time. Her professionalism, empathy, and dedication have truly made a difference in my journey towards mental wellbeing.

I highly recommend Congruent Mind to anyone seeking compassionate and effective support on their mental health journey.
