"I have been taking couple and individual therapy with Ms Shabna of Team Glimmer and I highly recommend their services. They helped me not just realize what was lacking in the relationship, but also suggested methods to help ease the struggle. Individual sessions gave me a great deal of self reflection and guided me where those wounds were stemming from. You may take their service if you are ready to face your devils and want to work on yourself for real. I congratulate Joe & Akhil for this initiative. Thank you for your services and support."

This varies entirely person to person. Some find significant benefit in just a few sessions; others prefer ongoing support. The pace and duration is always your choice - your therapist will never push you to continue beyond what you feel you need.
