She is wonderful/ only had one session with her so far. Helpful Christian-based responses I was looking for.

Shelia is easy to talk to and explains things in a clear and honest way. She doesn’t sugar coat things… and she’ll comment on things that may feel uncomfortable to the patient (me), but it’s also honesty. I trust her
