The only problem I have is not being able to select more than two traits to describe Monifa McCarther. Besides intelligent and authentic, I would describe her as empowering, solution-oriented, warm, and open-minded. In my experience, I have been made to feel challenged enough to confront my issues and concerns but at the same time comfortable enough to want to attend my sessions. I met Monifa McCarther by chance through the VA Community Care program and feel very fortunate for having done so.

Ms Monifa is the best hands down. I enjoy talking with her and getting feedback and solutions on the circumstances/situations I face.
