What clients say about Delana

  • Delana was a tremendous therapist. I came to her in a transitory period, looking to build my confidence and reduce my social anxiety while assessing my history with past relationships and current impacts. Only since have I overcome the challenges that I initially brought to her can I say that I am almost sad that our sessions have ended. I hope that if I need help again in the future that I am able to have her as my therapist again!

  • A friend recommended Healthy Minds to me, and I am so glad I gave them a try. They offer a free consultation to find a therapist who will match your needs, and I'm really pleased with who they recommended for me. They are very clear with the insurance and payment process.
