Jean Cummings’s has been a life saver for me. What I felt was chronic depression was more of chronic grief. Not being able to know what to do with the emotions. I now do.

I was able to open up to her and she listened and gave me feedback and I was able to reflect and I honestly felt better even after just one session!

Great advice and makes complete sense. I feel better doing some of the things she recommends. Reading the 5 love languages has also opened my eyes to different forms of love that others need.
