At this point I know my issues, I just need support, validation, and a good listener, and Nina fills these needs well. She also gives me tips and tricks I hadn't considered. 10/10, I recommend her as a Therapist.

working with Nina has been a huge game changer for me. she's helping me to discover the root cause of my issues and healthy ways to cope with them. I feel so comfortable and safe talking to her and I'm feeling more and more hopeful that I will, eventually, have all the coping mechanisms I need to start leading a healthier lifestyle.
