Dr. Ronica is wonderful and made me feel safe talking about issues I've never talked about with anyone before. She is also very positive and just a lovely person in general. I highly recommend her!

I’ve only been privileged to have had one session so far with Dr. Ronica, her approach to me as she knew this moment of reaching out for help was big for me was very caring, she was responsive to my emotions and validating. Her questions that flowed from our conversations showed how trauma informed she is and that she was showing an understanding of the why behind how I do things. She was ultimately supportive, empathetic and highly informed on our next step and I look forward to working closest with her.

Dr Arnold Branson has a way with her counselling that is supportive & encouraging while posing just the right questions to help me create the best ideas or strategies to move forward. This has been such an empowering experience so far. I also love how flexible the sessions can be. I’ve done phone calls as well as “text messaging” sessions and they both give me different ways to express myself. I’m a super thankful that I was paired with Dr Arnold Branson and would, without hesitation, recommend her to friends & family.✨

Dr. Branson is very kind, I feel as though she really cares about me and has a desire to help. I have only been a client for a brief time but Dr. Branson made me feel like she genuinely cares about her patients and that's important to me.
