Written on Apr 10, 2023 after therapy with Wanda for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, coaching, and adhd

Wanda has been great. I originally came to her when I was overwhelmed by things in my daily life. She was able to hear me out, help me to process my thoughts & feelings, and recommend things I could do to realign my feelings with my logic. Fortunately, my situation was short lived. But my time with Wanda was impressive enough that I am trying to keep on with counseling to work on other areas of my life.

Wanda is AMAZING! My wife and I are so happy to get to work with her!

Written on Apr 03, 2023 after therapy with Wanda for 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and adhd

I worked with Wanda through a very difficult time in my life--dealing with family and professional issues that I needed help working through.
Wanda's down-to-earth style, ability to restate questions so that I knew she understood what I was saying, and collaborative, empathetic approach were just what I needed.
I took her voice with me as I worked through a family relationship issue successfully. I was able to think through the professional issue and rebalance my life with her help.
I would strongly recommend Wanda and, if and when other issues arise for me, I know she'll be there for me.

Wanda is very knowledelable and compassionate. She has great skills and ideas to help you on your journey of healing and thriving. She gently brings things to your attention that you may have not noticed and is ready to work on them with you. I highly recommend her.
I am looking forward to where this journey takes me.

I give Wanda Bush 5 stars and a great review because she is always smiling, and knowledgeable as well. She has a great positive attitude, and caring nature. Friendly, and professional.

Written on Feb 14, 2023 after therapy with Wanda for 5 months on issues concerning depression, family conflicts, grief, and self esteem

Wanda has been helping me for quite a few months now….we “hit it off” at the very first session. She is always very encouraging and understanding of my feelings. A couple of the great things that I have experienced with Wanda (and there is many more) are that she shows me a different perspective of what I think is “reality” and supports me through my struggles. I never feel judged or put down for my feelings. Wanda has been a great strength for me and I’m so glad we connected.

Written on Jan 23, 2023 after therapy with Wanda for 4 months

I almost quit therapy. Then I started meeting with Wanda who really listens, gives me space to say what I need to say and challenges my thought process for the better. I’ve already seen a big difference in the short amount time I’ve been talking with her. I would highly recommend giving her a chance!
