Rate Petrovnia McIntosh

Petrovnia does an incredible job of making me feel heard in our sessions and is always able to offer thoughtful advice and support. She's attentive, reliable, and remembers details from past sessions so that we are able to spend our time as effectively as possible. I would absolutely recommend her.

Petrovnia really knows what she's talking about. I often read and hear about trauma-informed therapy, but Petrovnia is truly trauma-TRAINED therapy and that's made a world of difference in our relationship. She understands my struggles as a person of color and experiences as a trans nonbinary person. With her, I feel imbued with hope that I will be able to heal from my trauma.

She never assumes, always asks for clarification and doesn’t let me just push things aside and avoid them. She helps me to tackle them in a supportive and respectful manner.

I have never found someone who can help me to understand why I do what I do and thus how to reprogram/work through my issues. She is also never advising me based on her own assumptions, she always asks me for clarification to make sure she is understanding what I am actually saying, believes my explanation, and then helps me from there. I cannot recommend her enough!

I love working with Petrovnia! She is so kind and helpful. She has great insight.

I’ve been working with Petrovnia for over ten months now on issues and concerns varying from family trauma to anxiety. Her compassionate and caring approach helped me see myself with more forgiving eyes. I feel I’ve made huge progress on my topics and I’ve become more aware of my successes as well as my typical reaction patterns.

Petrovnia is the best there is, she has helped me a lot. Words cannot describe enough my gratitude towards her. Thank you Petrovnia!!

Petrovnia has been absolutely wonderful and a complete delight. She listens wholeheartedly, radiating care and love, is always patient and affirming and is extremely acute in picking up the nuances that hint at struggles. I've learnt so much from her, in how the brain works, our physiological responses and also strategies to cope when things get overwhelming. I am immensely grateful. I will not be this far along in my healing journey if not for Petrovnia and have had the best therapy experience. Thank you!

Petrovnia is amazing, I've learned so much about myself and my relationships thanks to her. She has recommended great books that have helped me further my healing. I feel heard and validated every session I have with her.

The communication between her and I via the Better Help portal seems to not be great. She often doesn’t see my messages and it takes multiple attempts to connect via video

Awesome counsellor who listens without judgment and gives great perspective and advice/solutions.

Petrovnia is kind and understanding, really listens and takes the time to understand. She offers really great tools and has help me set some goals that I feel are achievable.

Petrovnia is a true professional, and has a great mindset. I'm truly happy to have her helping me in understanding my mental health better.

Amazing counselor, listens and provides great insights and advice. Great to have a counselor who understands the struggles of walking through the world as a black woman.

Petrovnia is understanding, and a great counselor. She listens without judgement and provides constructive solutions. She has helped me immensely and wouldn’t be where I am today without her.

I wasn't able to work with this counselor due to constraints around location, but the brief time we did communicate was great & deeply insightful! I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone :)

Petrovnia is so easy to talk to. She really listens and validates my concerns. She also makes me feel very comfortable.

Petrovnia is fantastic—although we're early on in the process, I already feel understood and like we're doing some useful work. Highly recommend.
