Wajda’s compassionate and understanding nature has greatly helped me in my mental health journey. I’m so grateful to have had her as my therapist and would highly recommend!

Very sensitive and I feel safe with her. I feel true care and attention - unconditional. She did not judge me and did not push for particular decisions. She supported me when I decided to go to surgery and the same support when I canceled the surgery and decided to try another approach. I'm happy for her support.

Wajda has helped me with issues that have been plaguing me for years. The biggest struggle was finding someone who would understand me and not judge me. I can safely say I’ve found that in her.
