Deana is a top-notch counsellor. Perfect balance of listening, guiding and challenging. I feel safe with her and that allows me to figure out how to get over the hurdles that would be too tough to address on my own. Would absolutely recommend.

Deana is an absolutely wonderful therapist to talk to, she has helped me tremendously with my anxiety and depression issues. She has a very humanistic approach to counseling, and completely helps in understand the way some emotions come to play. Above all, she does not judge in any way, and is constantly proactive in reaching out to me even when sometimes I forget to keep up with counseling. I highly recommend her to anyone experiencing mental issues, or for someone who needs an outlet to vent even. Thank you Deana for the amazing work you do!

My counselor is really good at getting to the root of my problems,its like when I think my problem is one simple thing it turns out to be a whole puzzle and that's what I appreciate the most ,apart from that, she checks up on me on her own accord which makes me feel cared for and she schedules appointments on her own which just makes me know how supportive she is.

And we’ve also gone into my issues with my family and I’m slowly figuring myself out thanks to Deana.

In the short amount of time that I have been with Dana and Pride, I find it very helpful.

Written on Jun 03, 2019 after therapy with Deana for 3 weeks

Deana has been incredible. I wasn't sure what to expect from an online service... I'm no stranger to counseling but I have often felt like my counselor was telling me I shouldn't feel the things I was feeling. I didn't feel heard or understood. Deana is the exact opposite. She is incredibly understanding and supportive. I feel like she truly has my best interests at heart and I always end a session feeling like progress was made. Thank you, Deana. You have made a difference in my life in only a matter of weeks.

Written on May 16, 2019 after therapy with Deana for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety

When messaging with Deana, I can tell there’s a REAL person with REAL concerns and suggestions on the other end. Others in the past have put off a robot-like vibe almost, but Deana’s realistic and down to earth persona brings another level of online assistance.

Written on May 15, 2019 after therapy with Deana for 3 weeks on issues concerning addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue

Deana has been great so far, she's listened to everything I've had to say and responds to me in the way I said I would prefer so has tailored her responses according to what I didn't like in my previous counsellor, she's been very useful in the short time I've had her, I'd definitely recommend her :)

Written on May 09, 2019 after therapy with Deana for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and self esteem

Deana’s insight and wisdom go far beyond her years. She has a very unique ability to put things in perspective in a very non judgmental way and REGULARLY helps me to see things with a much healthier perspective. I wish I could put her in my pocket and carry her around all day with me, but having her available to me here is a fair compromise. She has helped me clarify in my mind so many things including: divorce, personal relationships post divorce, business issues, every day self esteem and confidence issues. I would recommend her whole heartedly to anyone who needs a friendly, knowledgeable counselor who will call you on your bullshit but never make you feel badly about yourself doing it. I feel I truly am a better person because of her counsel. I definitely have learned to cope with a lot of issues that come up better.

Written on May 07, 2019 after therapy with Deana for 1 year and 3 months on issues concerning depression, relationship issues, family conflicts, and parenting issues

Written on May 03, 2019 after therapy with Deana for 2 months on issues concerning depression, and stress, anxiety

I have had a bad experience with therapy before and so was cautious entering into this. Deana immediately gave me reason to trust her with some insightful, but measured feedback and questions. While I was going off on tangents she was able to stay clear and keep things simple. So far so good!

Written on Oct 30, 2018 after therapy with Deana for 2 weeks

Deana has been very kind and supportive, and she understands my issues and doesn't belittle them unlike a couple of my previous counsellors IRL. She also pushes me to get outside my comfort zone, which is a huge issue for me, but ultimately necessary. Since my comfort zone is about the size of a kiddie pool. She is a great and compassionate counsellor.

Deana responds in a timely manner, while taking care to sensitivities, she ensures to cover all her clients concerns.

Thank you for being the ear and shoulder and embrace that I needed. Thank you for the video you shared that helped aid my healing process.

Deana is amazing, she is helping me find ways to cope with my anxiety that work for me, not a textbook approach which is so refreshing. She always listens and is always there to talk too when I need help. I have been with Deana now for nearly three months and I am growing stronger every week. I have had my set backs but Deana has always been there to pick me up and support me in getting back on track. I don’t know where I’d be without her and I am so grateful I chose to seek help in my problems.

Written on Jan 09, 2018 after therapy with Deana for 2 months

She is super nice and understanding, gives plenty of different ways to help with life issues. She adapted to the way that I needed counselling by asking questions rather than just making me talk. I really appreciate having her to talk to.

Written on Dec 22, 2017 after therapy with Deana for 2 weeks

Deanna has been a magic worker and really helped me through my struggles. Even with my worst doubts, her perspective was always refreshing yet realistic, and always always made me feel 100x better. I've had other therapists that made me reflect in a way that made me question things in a negative way, but Deana always had a positive spin and different outlook. It was very easy to connect with her from day one. She is, without a doubt, destined for this type of work and I've valued every minute with her. She really puts in the extra time and effort to get to know her clients. Best therapist I've ever had, hands down. I could never thank her enough.

Written on Nov 15, 2017 after therapy with Deana for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and relationship

Deana helped me nail down the cause of my anxiety and concerns in a friendly, practical and caring approach. She is very down to earth, and doesn't use psychology jargon or mental health terms, she talks to you like a friend who's got a ton of experience to share, making you feel valued, respected and supported. She offers solid advice on looking at what's happening now, rather than what's happened in the past, when relevant, and guided me to understanding what I could do myself to reconcile with past events. I felt very safe with Deana, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Deanna is absolutely the best. She not only listens without judgment, but she's open-minded enough to give objective hypotheses on how else I can interpret a stressful and complex situation, and is always happy to offer additional resources.

Deana is to the point, goal oriented and "cuts the crap".

She is always optimistic, listening and made things very concrete and actionable. It's a pleasure to work with her!

Written on Apr 20, 2017 after therapy with Deana for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and self esteem

I am very happy to have Deana as my counsellor. I feel she gets me and my reasons for needing counseling.
I think she has thought me a lot about myself and how I need to look after my side of things. I have found this a very convenient way of doing counseling that really works for me. Great flexibility and availability and I, after trying a few counsellors in my time would say that Deana has been the only one who challenged my thinking and behaviour. I've definitely gained from this experience immensely and would highly recommend Deana. Vanessa
