I had my first session with Mrs. Lisa last week and I couldn't wait to book my next one. She read the information I sent previous to our visit, and was prepared to work. She won't give you the answer but help guide you and provides worksheets/exercises along the way to discuss at other visits. I felt comfortable speaking with her and would definitely recommend her to others.
