Ruth Hood has been awesome. She has helped me with issues I couldn’t talk to others about without feeling judged. The coping skills she has taught me have been very useful. I’d type a lot more but it’d be a full page or more about how she has helped me even though we’ve only talked weekly. Just what she says and how she understands my situation. My stress has dwindled so much. A few times it was like she put my shoes on, understood and walked right through it with me. Ruth your awesome!
