Today was my first session with Carlton. I am going to book my next session immediately. I was not excited at all about going to counseling and Carlton made me feel comfortable about coming and also made me think about things that I am doing or not doing just in our first session.

Mr. Vance was very warm and welcoming throughout our first session. He put me at ease as I went into this experience being very anxious. I look forward to our next session together as we start to lay the groundwork for this journey.

I’ve had therapists in the past and they’ve helped but after my first session I believe Mr. Vance can help me improve my life and well being. Very insightful and open minded. I appreciate and enjoyed our session.
