Nina is a great listener who provides timely and thoughtful feedback which for me personally is just what I need. Professional and human at the same time which is a trait that’s harder and harder to come by. After a few years, I have no plans of changing.

Nina is kind and patient and has made me feel seen and heard and respected. It is very difficult for me to open up with people and her gentle approach and patience were exactly what I needed. I have never felt pressured by her to make my therapy experience any more or less than what I needed on any given day, and her insightful questions have helped me make new connections. I absolutely recommend her care.

I was a basket case after being sexually abused and ending up in a 24yr marriage to a malignat, grandiose narcissist. I was at the bottom. I started councilling with Nina about a year ago. It was hard work. But I listened and have slowly learned to change the way I thought about myself, as well as others. The councelling helped me see how to be stronger and more positive. I am so happy with all the material this site has to offer.

I’m pretty new to therapy as an adult and I’ve tried one other therapist who seemed pretty toxic and not at all what I needed in my life. So a few years go by and my life had led to needing all the help I could get. After my beloved best friend dog Guthrie passed away I was about as sad and low as you could possibly imagine. Fast forward to being ready, I found Nina. And it’s been a learning curve for me knowing how therapy works for me. I feel like I blab my head off and then I get anxious that I’m not doing it right!

Upon seeking out therapy, I knew I had issues that needed addressing, but I really couldn't identify why I act, behave and think the ways I do that are not benefitting me. The counselor offered to me was and is Nina Foster. I'm old and she's young and I'm a man and she's not, but it seems like this is a therapeutic match made in heaven. Nina has listened to me and my problems, listened to my background descriptions and my complexities in life. She's allowed me to talk and describe my troubles and my wishes. Along the way she has defined a direction for my improvements as a person and identified problems in my past, experiences I've lived through, which now affect my behaviors and peace. She's provided worksheets and direction to help me understand where I have been hurt, where I have hurt myself, and ways to progress to solve psychological problems and confusion. I'm just beginning this journey towards understanding and healing and feel confident that Nina can get me to a place where this is the result. Nina has strong credentials and has been on time and involved with me without distraction. I recommend her to others seeking life help and direction.

Nina is one of the only therapists I’ve ever found who truly made me feel safe to be vulnerable and share things without the fear of being judged. It was a huge relief just to be able to talk to someone who remained neutral but provided validation and gentle guidance or perspective when needed. She is definitely one of the better therapists I’ve ever worked with and my time with her was very valuable.
