Are You Ready for Girls Night Out?

In addition to the many discounts other Westfield businesses are offering specials just for this evening. 

Ferraros is hosting free appetizers tonight on the second floor for ladies night. Next door neighbor Patricia & Paul Artisans of Fine Oils and Balsamics will be raffling a basic of products from its recently-opened Elm Street store. 

Psychotherapist Terri DiMatteo, LPC of Open Door Therapy said a key component of a successful therapy experience is determined by the quality of genuine and authentic rapport between the client and the therapist. The clinical term for this critical client-therapist relationship is called 'the therapeutic alliance,' she noted. This working alliance often begins with the first phone call -- though it's best done in person. In honor of 'Girls' Night Out' DiMatteo will 'open her (office) door' to those who would like to have a Free and Confidential 10-minute face-to-face consultation. This is akin to the first phone call -- only better, she said. If you're thinking of going to therapy this is a good chance to see if you and Terri might be a good clinical fit.
