- E. K.
"I just can't thank Lubov enough for helping get my life back on track. I always feel so much better after my sessions with her, and I love how she remembers everything. She's also really patient, doesn't sweet talk, tells it like it is and has a sense of humour. I can't believe I actually look forward to therapy, but I do and it's because of this woman."
