I felt heard and I also felt accountable.

While talking with Ms.Vanessa I learned some everyday tasks that will eliminate my stress level or when things get overwhelmed. In so many words what I took away was “I am enough” keep striving never give up and take a moment to breath and live with purpose. My life is beautiful it might be some hiccups along the way it can be manageable if I continue to take one day at a time I will succeed through anything. Staying positive is better than anything.

Today was my first counseling session ever. I am starting therapy just for coping skills but not because of any trauma or psychological behaviors. Vanessa was open, honest and non-judgemental and I look forward to any follow up appointments.
