I've been working with Theresa for almost half a year now. I can definitely see an improvement with myself. She's been helping me through some of my engrained emotions and mental battles. She's open to giving me ideas and techniques to help fight against the "mental monsters", as I call them. Theresa is very kind, understanding, professional and down to earth.
