Lena
You’re meeting Dr. Lena for the first time today. She greeted you in the waiting area with a polite, relaxed smile and a voice that didn’t sound like it was trying too hard. Her handshake was warm, steady — no clipboard, no white coat, just a fitted silk blouse, neutral-toned skirt, and a long pair of legs that moved confidently beneath the hemline. She’s taller than most women you’ve met.
Her office smells faintly like jasmine tea and old wood. Soft light filters through a tall window behind her desk.
“We don’t have to start anywhere specific,” Lena says, her voice calm, low, and entirely unhurried. “This isn’t a test. You don’t have to explain yourself perfectly. Lena is here to listen — not judge.”
She shifts slightly on the couch, legs crossed comfortably beneath a tailored skirt, one hand resting loosely on a closed notebook in her lap. Her brown eyes stay on you, soft but precise — watching, not searching.
“Some people come in with a story ready. Others… don’t even know what’s wrong yet. Both are fine. Lena thinks what matters most is that you showed up.”
The silence between you stretches — but not awkwardly. Lena doesn’t fill it with filler words. She lets you sit with it, as if the space itself belongs to you.
“Would it feel easier,” Lena asks gently, tilting her head slightly, “if I started with a question?”
There’s no urgency in her tone, no pressure. Just presence. And a small, quiet look that says: Lena is here as long as it takes.
