I am so glad that I found Diane (Cora). She is so kind and truly listens and understands what I am going through. Her guidance is a good balance of support and encouragement.

She keeps everything laid back, but also doesn't shy away from the important topics. She makes an effort to create a setting conducive to sharing, and never makes me feel shame for my shortcomings and faults.

She has really helped me put thing into perspective on a lot of aspects in my life in only a short time. She make my concerns feel valid while simultaneously putting certain worries to rest with logic. I’ve never done therapy before but she has made this is experience as great as it can be during a troubling time.

In the few sessions that I have had with Cora, she was able to help me understand why I have certain issues regarding some things. She helped me make a breakthrough and realize some important aspects of my past within my first session. After my first session with her, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. She has been very supportive with my needs and I always look forward to my sessions with her.
