Reviews
Andrea Dasilva has great communication and provide resources and information by email about topics worked over the session. I appreciate her dedication. She really care about patients. No Fear Counselling price is fair. I am satisfied and recommend their services.
I had a great experience with this place from calling in and be connected with Andrea. It's unfortunate we couldnt continue because I am an Evangelical Christian while she is a Cathlotic Christian and when calling in, they didnt know what type of Christian Andrea was so I took the chance for a session. Although I wasnt able to proceed as I am looking for the same faith professional, being able to connect with Andrea was great in my experience. Thank you
Andrea is very calming and easy to talk to. I really love her energy.
