Shekena has been so helpful to me! She understands me and my goals, and it’s such a huge support to know how easily I can reach her!

Ms. Peeples has been a great help to me. She responds at nearly anytime or at least the soonest she can . She makes me step outside of my head and really reflect on how my actions effect others. I actually look forward to working with her each week. It was really hard for me to find an African American Female therapist, but this was extremely important in my search. It’s exciting to feel comfort in sharing my story.
