I have learned SO MUCH from my therapist, Vanessa Cumber! She has helped me hugely in navigating my anxiety. Vanessa is very dedicated to her profession and to her clients. She has such incredible empathy, and is also very smart, sending me articles about my issues and sharing the current research with me. Our sessions are so enjoyable and effective! Vanessa Cumber is quite a caring person, and such a talent!
