"As a woman of color going through a difficult period in my life, it was important for me to find a therapist that I could relate to and who would understand me on many different levels. While I was open to a therapist from any background, I wanted someone that I could be comfortable with and who I felt was not judging me which I have experienced in the past. I happened to come across Dr. Blanding’s bio while searching online and thought I would give her a try. During my first session, I felt that I found the right fit. I have been a client of Dr. Blanding’s for two years now and she has really helped me delve into a lot of past trauma and work through how these things impact me today. I would recommend Dr. Blanding to anyone who is looking for a therapist who is patient, non-judgmental, empathetic, and easy to talk to."
