She seemed experience. what kept me going or thought at the time: she could get me through my situation and what is really going on in my life. From the very start she would always talk over me and never really give me the chance to explain. Always had to term every thing she would always cut me off. I missed 2 appt due to being a single mom & not being able to make it so she kicked me off and now I gotta start all over again with a new person. I didn’t get the help I needed.
