She is phenomenal and a great listener. And after listening she gives great insight. I look forward to our conversations. I wish I’d met her years ago.

Shana has been very supportive of me both through scheduled calls and the messaging platform. She really listens and understands the issues I'm struggling with and helps me take a step back so I can work through them. I'm grateful for her support.

I have only had 2 session with Shana so far, but she has already helped talk me through so much. Her reflections and feedback during conversation are thoughtful and insightful, as she especially helps me understand different perspectives. I truly appreciate working with her.

Shana session was my first counseling experience, and it work outed very well for me. As she was able to determine and resolve most of my concerns and issues. I'm very satisfied with her work and all wisdom shared to me. There's so much more issue I need to be figuring out through bigger concerns.

Thank you for your mentoring of my anxiety, depression and pain. This is all I need at the moment. I appreciated your time Shana. Best session I've ever had.
