"Although it felt a bit weird and I felt embarrassed, I kept returning and kept discussing things with my counselor Christine. Over the years, my state of mind became more improved and I developed emotional maturity and toughness. I stopped going late 2014 since the payments were becoming too much. I returned a few months ago and Christine was still there and we didn't miss a beat. Now they accept my insurance so payments are no issue anymore. I visit once a month to talk with Christine and I feel much better about myself after every visit." - Victor H.
