I've had many therapists in my life , but I feel Pauline has been instrumental in getting to the heart of the matter. She asks the right questions, has empathy and helps me set my thoughts on a more positive trajectory. She's helped aleviate my depression and anxiety so much .

Pauline has been an amazing therapist who listened to me, offered great tips and was very comforting. She also sends me resources to learn on my own time after sessions. I am confident she will continue to help me grow and improve my relationship with myself and my husband. Choosing Pauline will be your best choice. Good luck!

Pauline has been helpful and supportive. I like that I can message her throughout the day and she gets back to me the same day. I like that our meetings are through chat because I was very apprehensive about getting psychiatric help for a long time. "My" generation has a phone call phobia, and I think chatting with her bridges that gap. I am also just better at messaging/written communication than I am getting my thoughts across during spoken communication.

I have really enjoyed my sessions with Pauline. She has definitely helped me to "reframe" things, see the big picture, and believe in myself more. Definitely recommend!
