Zina has really helped me understand myself so much better. The peace of mind I’ve gotten about myself and my life, out of our sessions, has been priceless. I’m fortunate to have met her because I wasn’t entirely sure about therapy, after seeing a couple other therapists but going nowhere.
Working with Zina has been a transformative experience for both me and my wife. From the outset, she created a safe and supportive environment where we could openly explore our individual and shared challenges. Zina's insightful guidance helped us uncover underlying issues in our relationship, particularly around managing conflicts with parents and in-laws, handling our finances, and improving our intimacy. Her compassionate approach and practical strategies have significantly strengthened our bond. We deeply appreciate her ability to help us navigate complex emotions and her encouragement to set healthy boundaries. Zina's support has been invaluable, and we are profoundly grateful for her expertise and dedication.
Zina is a caring counselor who has really helped to support me throughout my journey in discovering myself. She has unwavering vision for me as she has been very clear with the objectives from the start which allows me to trust that she is very experienced and that I should trust the process. I believe that Zina is authentic and truly cares for the betterment of people. Most importantly, I have gained the confidence to make decisions for my life and have conviction with my choices with very clear objectives with Zina’s help.
My partner and myself have been working with Zina for almost two months and she has been so wonderful. In just a few sessions, I have felt an enormous personal growth and breakthrough that has helped not just my relationship but at work as well. I have also seen great growth in my partner as an individual and we now have more confidence to work through our relationship with the Tools that Zina has provided us through therapy. Communication has always been great and I’m so thankful to have found such an amazing therapist to work with with. I would highly recommend Zina to all of my friends and family.
