Davina has been a blessing. She’s very intelligent, a great listener, and provides fantastic feedback that have offered new perspectives. She works with me very well and I’m thankful for her. I’ve left her sessions feeling better and I enjoy the material she sends between sessions I do find it’s very helpful as well.

Whenever I speak with Miss Davina, she’s always very respectful and she listens to me and she understands you know what I’m going through and if not, she always makes an effort to, but there hasn’t been a time and when she hasn’t understood me I appreciate that of respect, mutual respect for one another, and the willingness to listen from an unbiased point of view. I’m very grateful to have met her.

Listens to problems well. Helps you understand why on things you may not understand, and gives ways to deal with problems in appropriate manner.

I have been in therapy for almost 30 years and Davina is the best therapist I've ever had. All of my past therapist let me know that what I'm feeling is valid but Davina actually helps me process and prepare.

I have had 3 therapy sessions so far with Davina and I have already learned so much about myself and how I see others. She really listens to me and I appreciate that about her. I look forward to each session now and believe I will learn so much more.
Written on Oct 11, 2023 after therapy with Davina for 2 weeks on issues concerning sleeping disorders, self esteem, and coping with life changes
Davina is excellent. She has helped me through a lot of extremely difficult loss and life changes that have been going on simultaneously. These issues are also connected to childhood trauma and difficulties that have been ongoing for decades. It takes time for a therapist to get to know all about you and be able to delve deeper and help more with the root causes. Davina helped me successfully from the get go during very extremely difficult times and over several months has gotten to know me better and we’ve begun getting more to the root of some issues within myself.
She is responsive, caring and trustworthy. Thank you Davina. I have a lot more work to do but I know you’ll help me get through it.
Written on Sep 25, 2023 after therapy with Davina for 7 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes
Davina is very understanding, but also firm about prioritizing my mental status, even dealing with close family members. She reminds me that i need to take care of myself. She provides appropriate worksheets in between sessions to really make me think about the situations I’m facing. Although these are virtual visits and I’ve never met her F2F, I genuinely feel like she cares about my wellbeing. I would definitely recommend her, especially if you’re a female with family issues.

Written on Apr 21, 2023 after therapy with Davina for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, and coping with life changes
Davina is very quick to respond and very attentive. It feels like I am talking to a caring friend who gives great advice. I was very adamant about finding therapist who would help me think differently and give me tools to cope better rather than just sit there and ask how that makes me feel. An hour goes by so fast with her and I leave our session feeling more peaceful. Highly recommend Davina!

Written on Feb 28, 2023 after therapy with Davina for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, self esteem, coping with life changes, and coaching
Davina is the first therapist I’ve seen and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. I know that finding a good therapist can be a trying experience, so I’m really thankful that I have what I need right now! She listens and has identified some things that I knew were issues, and given them the correct name so that I can identify them and has been working to help me realize how those issues are affecting me. I’m sure she will be of even more help in the weeks to come. Thank you Davina!!
