I tried many healthcare professionals before who actually made my problem worse and delayed my trauma healing for two years because I got a wrong diagnosis; however in November 2019, I was so desperate...I surfed the web and said I will try for the last time to seek professional help, and thanks god I found Dr Rasha, who really spent time listening and asking questions and took lots of assessment that diagnosed me for the first time with something I never heard of, which is CPTSD; and I totally agreed with her and directly started therapy, with low dose management, and also ACT & EMDR session in my mother language Arabic, which helped me express and truly understand.

I really appreciate your center and Dr Imane because I was able to gain faith again, and believe in myself and manage my emotions in a proper way. Honestly, Aspris is so professional and updated knowledge center that saved my life.
