"What an awesome experience! The uncertainty I felt walking through those doors the first time quickly evaporated. My counselor was great, patient, open, understanding, honest... were a few things about her that made my experience fruitful. The knowledge I obtained was/ is invaluable. I have no doubt that my success in the future, would be a direct result of having gone through this program. I would absolutely recommend it to someone who may need help! Thank you Sara!"
