Ms. LaDawna has been a godsend. She listens to me, but not only does she listens, she hears me.
I was pretty nervous during our first couple of sessions but I am now getting more comfortable with talking about more of my personal experiences.
She has also given me lots of valuable tools to use when dealing with certain situations.
