Dana is really the best! She really takes notes on my past and brings things to light that I didn't see!
Dana is always supportive and able to provide insight on any issues I'm currently experiencing. She is always fexible and accommodates my busy schedule.
Love Dana ! She’s a wonderful therapist
I’ve been meeting with Dana for just over a year on this app and she’s been very supportive through this very strange, unusual time filled with its ups and downs. I feel very comfortable sharing with her and receptive to her observations and feedback. Using teencounseling.com has been a great way for me to work on myself and feel comfortable speaking freely from the comfort of my own home.
Dana has been extremely helpful in all aspects of our sessions. She is very thoughtful and understanding with clear insights into what I am currently trying learn about myself.
I have been working with Dana for two years now and have felt supported, seen and heard in every session. She is an authentic and down to earth professional with a gift for her work.
Dana helped me a lot with my negative mindset, family issues, and time management. She's delightful, understanding, and helpful. Sadly, I only spent less than a month with her, but she impacted my life significantly. Forever grateful <3
Dana is wonderful! She is down to earth and really easy to work with. My wife and I enjoy meeting with her every session. I would recommend her to all!

I couldn't have hoped for a better therapist suited to my needs during this time.
Dana is a down to earth, supportive, and intelligent counselor. She takes her clients mental health concerns seriously, analyzes and evaluates them to provide the best care and healing for them. I am glad and very fortunate to have Dana as my counselor.
Dana is amazing at what she does. I am comforted knowing she will be able to help me and my daughter.
In just two sessions, Dana has been professional, thoughtful and on top of her game. I am eager to see what lies ahead during our sessions together.
Amazing and very in tune with me and my needs
Dana was very direct when I needed it the most and gracefully provided many tips on how to manage my anxiety. Her ability to engage made me feel comfortable to open up about my thoughts, feelings and past.
Dana is such an amazing counselor. She’s honest, real, and always gives the best advice and guides me in the right direction.
Dana is very professional, and also caring. She responds in a timely manner and is dependable. I learned a lot in a short amount of time from her knowledge and resources. Thank you so much Dana!
She responds within 24 hours most of the time which is fine with me because we have weekly or biweekly calls where we do most of our talking. I’ve really appreciated her guidance with helping me work on my anxiety and depression.
Very sweet and very good at understanding
Dana is the best therapist! I was moments away from becoming a non-believer and working with her changed my perspective about the benefits of therapy.
Dana has probably been the only reason our relationship has not fallen apart. She is very knowledgeable and very dedicated to helping us, this is not just a paycheck for her, she cares about us and really wants us to be successful and happy.
We love Dana she is so helpful, kind, knowledgeable and we’re grateful for her!
Dana gives excellent advice, is always quick to respond, and took extra time at the beginning to get to know me. Right from the start I felt like she really cared about me, and I look forward to our conversations.
It's very easy to talk to Mrs. Legrande. She's empathetic and compassionate. I enjoy hearing her perspective on how to deal with challenges. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a therapist. Great experience!
Ms. Legrande provides excellent resources, challenges my thinking, and helps me develop weekly goals for myself. Any questions or concerns I have I know I can reach out to her and she’ll respond in a timely manner. I feel supported and challenged to grow equally, a difficult balance to strike. I would not be doing as well as I am if not for Dana.
She listens and she demonstrates expertise.
