I chose Taina first and foremost because there was no pronouns after her name…I felt it was a good choice with a realistic therapist, and she has done nothing but given me real life common sense advice… Her therapy is not sugarcoated. It is to the point, if you want some real help reach out to Miss Connolly.

Very calm and openhearted I appreciate talking to Taina. She was very realistic, but sympathetic and caring.
