See what our patients are saying about Henrieta Deka

Henrieta Deka, was my first Counselor at the period that I was going through she helped me tremendously. When she left for LifeStance I couldn't see her because of insurance since she was new I couldn't see her and was given another Counselor which was good but not enough for me so I left. Then I had tragedy in my family and looked it up to get Henrieta and thank God I was able to get her. She is the best and knows how to reach what needs help in me. Thank you.
