Oksana is down to earth and tells it plainly like it is. She boils down what I thought was complicated into a simple statement of observation. I find her efficient, a great listener, caring and professional. There will be a few laughs too. She represents common sense!

Oksana turned out to be a wonderful surprise-replacement for my therapist that I had for years but then moved away for a career opportunity. Oksana is very different in so many ways, yet exactly what I need at this stage of my life. I am grateful for her genuineness, patience and perspective.

Written on Jul 04, 2024 after therapy with Oksana for 8 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes

My first time going through therapy wasn’t as scary as I thought.
I am very grateful for Oksana and her compassion, encouragement, insight, and understanding. I was able to open up and share with her, my most vulnerable feelings without feeling any shame, which was outstanding!!! At the lowest time in my life and the most challenging time, she gave me validation and the tools I needed to regulate my emotions and be grounded.

So thankful for her!
