Vanessa has been very attentive to me and what’s going on in my life. She regularly checks in with me which really means a lot and is often a good start to my day. She was very professional and understanding in our initial appointment. So far the process seems like it’s going to work for me.

Vanessa is fantastic! She hears what I have to say and dives deep into areas of concern. She shows empathy and asks great questions to uncover any issues.

Vanessa is amazing!!!! She calls me on my bad coping skills but in a way that understanding and she is also funny. She has the perfect balance of chill and understanding and what you would expect from a therapist. Talking to her about everything is incredibly easy witch for me is huge because I have always hated therapy. I would 1300% recommend her to anyone.

Vanessa is the second therapist I spoke to on this app. I was doubtful after the first one, but I told her my story, anyway. She replied quickly and with a response that made me feel like she just understood EXACTLY what I was going through. She relates with me on a personal level, and she checks in. I truly appreciate her dedication to this. She’s wonderful, and I would recommend her to all my friends.
