I enjoyed being able to be speak freely, be vulnerable with such a pleasant professional. Ms. Melody made this space safe and comfortable for me. A weight already fills lifted and I can’t wait to gain my full strength and confidence back with her assistance. I can already see me taking back control of my life and it’s only session one!!!
