‘Ms. Smith saved my life!’:
When I first came to Ms. Smith, I wasn’t sure if I’d make it another week, let alone 2 years. I was struggling really bad dealing with bipolar disorder and I couldn’t figure out how to help myself, she was so very patient and understanding. I never felt like she was speaking at me or judging me. I learned how to refocus my anger and my energy with her help. There were days when I felt like I was going to explode, but I’d speak to Ms. Smith and she’d defuse the bomb that was ticking down. With her help, I’ve been free of medication for almost 3 years and I don’t see myself ever needing meds again. She’s truly a God send! Understanding, gracious and helpful is the best way to describe Ms. Smith.

Reaghan listens to her clients and offers excellent advice. I looked forward to every session and appreciate Reaghan’s ongoing support, encouragement, and guidance.

“I spent 6 months in therapy, weekly… my biggest takeaway is that my feelings are valid. My emotions are telling me something, showing me something.. and I need to feel them, not dwell in them. For so long, I thought having emotions and being vulnerable were “bad.” Through therapy I learned how to share myself and emotions in healthy ways. Vulnerability isn’t easy and it still makes me uncomfortable but the reward of having my needs met, feels so much better. Therapy taught me that the things I labeled as “bad” about myself, were the very gifts that I needed to embrace, to feel whole..complete”
