Written by D.A. on Jul 18, 2020 after counseling with Claire for 2 weeks on issues concerning addictions

I was very nervous about the whole process before I started but Claire let me choose which method best suited me. Now I could not be more relaxed. Claire and myself have an open, relaxed chat about my issue and I have made progress I never thought possible.
Thank you Claire.
