“I'm very thankful for Vanessa, she listened to my concerns, and I could feel the empathy from her and her concern for me. And made recommendations for meditations to help me get better. I felt better, and felt heard after the appointment. Would very much recommend her to someone struggling with their mental health. ”

Vanessa seemed not personal and cold. I didn't feel any positivity or good vibes.
