Deena is a great listener, and brings a non-judgemental pragmatism to each of our sessions. She is very easy to talk to and shares her extensive experience, without shoving it down your throat. Deena has helped me be better at self-reflection, and consistently validates my feelings, before helping me through them. I would recommend Deena to anyone seeking a guide, rather than a drill sergeant.
