Vanessa has been wonderful, I would definitely recommend her for somebody else as a counselor, she listens and is understanding and seems to just ask the right questions. I'm very happy that she is wandered into my life. This program is great and I'm very glad and grateful that I paid for it and I hope that I get to continue to.
