Imelda Hsieh
Imelda has always been a good listener and finds her clients appreciate having someone they can take time to talk to. She says that connecting with people through conversation is very powerful, which is what keeps her in the profession. Imelda has also gone through therapy herself, and though she was reluctant to try it at first, she ultimately found it very transformative. Imelda has also been trained as a teacher and appreciates the importance of companionship and partnership between people.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
