He is wonderful helps me stay grounded in my madness
Written on Sep 10, 2024 after therapy with Everaistus for 10 months on issues concerning relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping disorders, career difficulties, coaching, and compassion fatigue
Dr. Penda knows how to get to the heart of the matter and will confront you in a gentle yet firm way. Since I'm a therapist myself, we have more of a back-and-forth conversation rather than a full-on therapy session, but that just shows how easily he can adapt to different people. He's a really kind guy and you can tell he genuinely wants to help you out. I'd recommend him to anyone who's looking for help with their problems.

Written on Feb 24, 2024 after therapy with Everaistus for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, and coaching
Dr. Penda's calm demeanor invites you to be vulnerable, quickly marking his sessions as the safe space that I strongly needed. His balance of quiet professionalism and warm insight makes for a confidante that feels both like a brother and a mentor. He was able to share strong insights, guidance, and challenges that really were a turning point for me and my wellbeing.
I could not have made it through this challenging time in my life without Dr. Penda. In such a time of struggle where I did not feel I had many safe and courageous spaces, Dr. Penda was someone I could fully depend on. I will be forever grateful for his guidance.
