Testimonial

  • I was deeply confused and somehow unhappy in my marriage for 16 years. Society, parents, and many friends urged me to remain in this unsatisfying marriage and just tough it out and bear with it, and I became more alone, feeling hurt and isolated with my problems. My therapist shows compassion to me as a person and being non-judgmental makes me feel safe and enabled me to see things clearly, and recognize my long neglected needs for love. Slowly I uncovered my innate strengths and empowered me to take action. Slowly reclaiming my peace of mind and integrating myself. I’m feeling much better with who I’m, staying peacefully together with my long neglected parts. In my saddest time of need, her therapeutic presence and skilled support brought clarity and confidence to me. I am thankful that I met Stella.

  • I am confident that the clinical competencies Stella acquired through her training, coupled with her own unique personal qualities, experience, and enthusiasm, will allow her to make a most positive difference to the clients she journeys with as a your therapist.

  • Stella assisted me with coming to a conclusion regarding my relationship issues that have spanned over years. She did not impose her own views or beliefs on me. Instead, she asked clear questions to get me to reflect and arrive at an important decision on my own. Stella’s ap-proach is unique compared to other therapists as she strives to address the root issues that are plaguing your life, and not just treat the symptoms.
