By working with Shetress, I️ have finally felt able to address certain issues that have plagued me for much of my life. I️ have learned a great deal about myself, my relationships, and many of the faulty coping mechanisms that no longer serve me. She has helped me reassess those coping mechanisms and figure out better ways to implement tactics for personal growth that I actually use. I️ feel much more empowered and better able to deal with whatever life throws at me.
