Jena is a very good therapist and I would like to continue services with her but I will not be able to if payment options aren’t more flexible.
I don’t like how the app immediately deactivated after my 3 sessions through EAP. I couldn’t communicate with anyone. Hope to figure something out.

I have only had one session with Jena, but based on that session, I feel she is a very capable and intuitive therapist.
