She has been kind, professional, and a great listener, helping me navigate my thoughts in a way that feels supportive and constructive. I’ve noticed positive changes in how I process my emotions, and I appreciate the tools she’s given me to communicate better and feel more balanced. Looking forward to continuing this journey with her!

Wanda has by far been the best therapist I have ever had. She has been key in my success, and getting through a very difficult time. I feel like she really listen to me and remembered everything I said about myself she had very effective advice. She was not the kind of therapist like I had in the past who just listened to what I had to say, and didn’t really get to my core issues and help me, I will be forever grateful in how she has helped me. I’ve always thought you can’t change who you are but with Wanda’s help I have seen a real change in who I am and hope for continued change and growth.
