“Incredible.”

“Ilona is wonderful! I got much more in a singular session than I have with a year from another therapist, highly recommend!”

“Very helpful, and very professional.”

“Great”

“Working with Ilona for the past 6-7 months has been so wonderful. She’s been an incredible voice of reason, challenging me when I needed it, providing me with sound ideas and perspective, always guiding me to making the best decisions for myself. With her help I’ve achieved so much, unlocked all my 2024 goals and objectives! I highly recommend her if you’re someone who believes in the powers of the Universe, but also need to be challenged through your therapy.”

“Helpful”

“She has been absolutely wonderful with all of my emotional and mental health needs”

“Caring and Understanding and has great insight into the problems and troubles I am facing”

“She has the ability to change your life.”

“Ilona has been great. She listens, offers feedback, really makes an effort to understand what I am saying, and draws a broader connection. She is kind and makes me feel understood, yet not judged.”

“I am not sure how she does it but when we have a concern or a problem she asks the right questions at the right time & my husband and I end up talking about our problem in a different way & This happens in different ways! She listens really well, has emotions like a human which is something that is important to me, it makes it easier to open up. I hang up feeling better every time & wanting to schedule the next session!”

“Ilona is very respectful and listens very well. She takes the time to listen and understand what you are saying and then not only gives you information or ways to help, but actually cares to explore it”

“I’ve only had a few sessions with Ilona, but she’s been a fantastic mental health coach. She’s actively helping me work through things on a weekly basis.”
