Since I’ve begun my journey with Miss Bernice, it has been amazing. Thus far she’s very thoughtful. She’s very caring and she really does listen to you and she pours into you immensely you would be a fool to pass her up as your therapist. That’s all I’m gonna say.

Bernice is very skilled, does not judge, works to meet me where I'm at, and always invites possibility into the room. I'm grateful to have found Bernice.
