Dianna is such a great listener and balances support with the tough love I need to hear, but does so with kindness and always consent. She knows I’m action oriented and often offers different things to try so I can regulate or move forward in a relationship. She is timely is replying and encourages me to stay connected between sessions via chat. I love the way she remembers so many details and thoughtfully finds ways to articulate different observations and strategies. She’s a lifeline!

Of course! Here’s a concise and heartfelt review:

My therapist is incredibly kind, understanding, and supportive. Even after just a few sessions, she has helped me acknowledge and understand my anxiety by giving me practical tools and meaningful homework to work on. I truly appreciate her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist.
