Testimonials
“I found the sessions with Theodora very helpful to address my personal issue. Throughout our interactions she was empathetic and able to guide the discussion in the right direction to identify root causes and understand how to address them. I found value in doing the exercises she provided me between sessions and her feedback was very good. After the sessions I feel much better and I have not experienced any relapses. I would highly recommend her as a therapist.”
