Dana is not just a therapist, she is someone who will make you feel like you were talking to your best friend in their living room. Dana is not only an amazing person, she is compassionate, she is understanding, and she uses her resources to her fullest capabilities. I am so thankful to have Dana as my chosen therapist and look forward to the journey together.
