Lena was very patient with me as I am a bit flustered and all over the place getting back into the grove of normal life vs treatment life. I felt very heard and understood. I appreciated Lena’s ability to see my concerns with medications I was taking and we were able to alleviate some of my stress and work on a plan for the future. The session was short, but everything I needed. For that I am grateful.

Very helpful! (I don't usually write reviews)
Listens is helpful and understanding
Seems like a decent therapist. The psychiatrist is another issue completely.
She is listening and at this time, that is all I need.
Lena was so nice and compassionate
Went well we have a good plan in place and we shall see how it goes
She’s awesome, I like the track we’re on!
Excellent and thorough service
Not much! I have every confidence in her and trust her implicitly.
Lena had great insight to my concerns.
I was confused by the signup process. I thought I was having a therapy session. I do not desire medication at this time.
Minor technical difficulties on the provider's side, but I believe the platform may be at fault. She was very kind, honest, and makes you feel at ease.
We need to get to know each other better.
