Donna was absolutely wonderful. She was professional, compassionate, and truly listened to what I was going through. I was struggling with returning home and feeling overwhelmed, and she gave me honest, practical advice that really helped me process everything in a healthier way. I felt heard, supported, and understood. I’m so grateful for her guidance and will definitely be scheduling with her again when I return. Highly recommend!
