Waynettia has been amazing, a true Godsend when I needed it most. She helped me through what was one of the most difficult times in my life. Having her perspective on things and her advice on processing my thoughts made all the difference in getting through some really tough times and situations. I feel like i not only found a great therapist in her but also a friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help and support. I can't even begin to thank her enough.

I've only had two sessions so far and my life has already changed. I could not have asked for a better therapist. Waynettia is patient and listens actively while knowing the perfect moments to step in and make a comment or ask a question. I was nervous initially but quickly realized this was the best decision I could've made and it mainly had to do with our experience together. She's making the process less intimidating, comfortable, and I'm actually excited about growing and becoming a better me. Thanks so much! You are truly apprecaited.
