Written on Sep 22, 2024 after therapy with Tolana for 2 weeks on issues concerning coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue

I've had a few therapists in the last decade, but Tolana is by far the best therapist I've ever had. She is so empathetic and non-judgmental. I feel listened to and understood by her and that, in turn, encourages me to completely open up and be honest with her. I have never felt so comfortable talking with someone about all my thoughts, opinions, and issues. I highly recommend Tolana - she's definitely a light in this world.
