I can not recommend Yana enough! We had so many bad experiences before we got to her. She is warm, generous and above all helpful. Going to her is not a chore for my family. My child enjoys her sessions and looks forward to the next one, as do I. Highly, highly recommended.

Yana is really the best therapist ever. Scheduling appointments is never a problem she’s always willing to take you and the wait time is always right away. She really helps and once you go to her , you will really see an improvement even after the first session and will want to come back every time . She is so full of energy and will help you with any obstacle you need to overcome!

Yana treated me for about 6 months and she truly helped me deal with my grief, anxiety, & panic attacks. I stopped going to her one day because I was healed. She helped me learn to control my anxiety. It may have been the homework she gave me (yes she gives you homework and you will LOVE it!!!), or the meditation she does with you in her office which completely takes you out of your comfort zone in a great way!, or it’s just her way of using her magical therapeutic ways. ( it may have also been the tea she had me try) lol not sure but she is just truly wonderful. Yana isn’t just a therapist. She’s a person. A really kind open person who has been in your shoes before. She not only helps you based on the knowledge she has from her education but also with the knowledge she has from her own experiences. She is a therapist who helps your mind by feeling the hurt in your heart. At least that’s how she made me feel. You will not be disappointed!!! I found Yana through the internet during a week episode of panic in my bed. Yana got me out of that bed and into life kicking my anxiety to the curb head on and she will do the same for you.

Yana is awesome. She is calm and collective. I am able to reach out to her in between sessions and she is always there to respond and help to ease my anxiety. Yana was able to schedule emergency appointments for when my anxiety really got the best of me. Look forward to every session.

Yana is absolutely wonderful. My 14 year old daughter connected with her right away. Yana's experience working with others who struggle with anxiety is evident in her approach. My daughter looks forward to her appointments and is relieved to finally have a knowledgeable therapist working jointly with her on her challenges.
