the WellBeing - Counseling



★★★ (out of five)


Dina is super freaking nice!  My first appointment with her did NOT go well for me, and it upset me greatly.  But I went back and found someone who is so validating and wonderful.  Did she give me good therapy?  No.  But she listened, she wrote everything down, and most importantly, she remembered.  She didn't mix me up with other people, and she took genuine interest in what I was doing and how I was doing it.  I could not have gotten through my illness as well as I did without her support.  

I would have given her five stars, but a few things happened when I felt either a) she crossed some minor boundaries and b) did not give me any actual therapy.  My preference is actual therapy.  But what she did give me was support and validation for what I was going through and I am very very glad I did not give up on her.  


We did in person and video sessions.

★★ (out five)

Dina left her place of work to work on her own, EXCEPT for the fact she's not a licensed therapist and charges real therapist prices and claims she's an actual therapist (though she promised to charge people half because she's not licensed).  I reported her to the state of IL.  

I am an ex-coworker of hers.
