Whenever I speak with Miss Davina, she’s always very respectful and she listens to me and she understands you know what I’m going through and if not, she always makes an effort to, but there hasn’t been a time and when she hasn’t understood me I appreciate that of respect, mutual respect for one another, and the willingness to listen from an unbiased point of view. I’m very grateful to have met her.

Written on Oct 11, 2023 after therapy with Davina for 2 weeks on issues concerning sleeping disorders, self esteem, and coping with life changes
Davina is excellent. She has helped me through a lot of extremely difficult loss and life changes that have been going on simultaneously. These issues are also connected to childhood trauma and difficulties that have been ongoing for decades. It takes time for a therapist to get to know all about you and be able to delve deeper and help more with the root causes. Davina helped me successfully from the get go during very extremely difficult times and over several months has gotten to know me better and we’ve begun getting more to the root of some issues within myself.
She is responsive, caring and trustworthy. Thank you Davina. I have a lot more work to do but I know you’ll help me get through it.
Written on Sep 25, 2023 after therapy with Davina for 7 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes
Davina is very understanding, but also firm about prioritizing my mental status, even dealing with close family members. She reminds me that i need to take care of myself. She provides appropriate worksheets in between sessions to really make me think about the situations I’m facing. Although these are virtual visits and I’ve never met her F2F, I genuinely feel like she cares about my wellbeing. I would definitely recommend her, especially if you’re a female with family issues.

Davina is very quick to respond and very attentive. It feels like I am talking to a caring friend who gives great advice. I was very adamant about finding therapist who would help me think differently and give me tools to cope better rather than just sit there and ask how that makes me feel. An hour goes by so fast with her and I leave our session feeling more peaceful. Highly recommend Davina!

Davina is the first therapist I’ve seen and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. I know that finding a good therapist can be a trying experience, so I’m really thankful that I have what I need right now! She listens and has identified some things that I knew were issues, and given them the correct name so that I can identify them and has been working to help me realize how those issues are affecting me. I’m sure she will be of even more help in the weeks to come. Thank you Davina!!
