After the first session, I felt really bad afterwards and couldn't really say why. Ended up being depressed for like 3 days straight and confused. Now that I processed my thoughts I understood. I went in there having a goal of trying to process my thinking/ideology with overall pretty good mental health, which i wrote in the pre session form (also what i wrote was never acknowledged). Instead, I was met with someone who is trying to do routine diagnosis of depression and going through a checklist. She was trying to steering the conversation toward my previous depression or anger episodes and dig in it, which I believe I had grown past. But she gave very little attention toward what I was there to achieve or challenging my beliefs and thought processes. I wasn't ready to dig into previous depression that I believe i had moved past to a complete stranger I met less than 50mins. The result was I was left with feelings of the past and it revoked my previous bad habits which I had moved on and bringing back previous addiction. So my conclusion after the session is, she is probably excellent working with someone who is already diagnosed with depression or in a bad mental state. But I don't think she is suitable for people who has overall a positive mental and has grown past previous negative mental state. I understand that digging into negativity is a part of therapy to understand the brain, but maybe not on the first meeting. I knew her for less than 1 hour and I wasn't there with the intent of digging into it. I went there with positive mental state and came out feeling depressed and left to fend for myself. It was a rough few days after that. On the bright side, I did realise some stuff after the session so it did do something positive.

Nina was so lovely with our daughter who had been through a horrible experience. Session by session she gained her trust, and got her to open up. I would recommend Nina without any doubt.
