Sometimes we need counseling to deal with people in our lives who have never been to counseling. It could be our parents, partners, friends... as humans, we only control our response to thoughts in our minds and feelings in our bodies, not other people. Our responses can be the difference between living in chaos and living in peace.

Mrs. Brenda Nash is the fourth therapist I’ve seen. She is BY FAR the BEST for me! Here are three reasons why: First, she fully understood my situation because she’s seen it herself. Secondly, on the second session she completely laid out a plan for my journey with healing (something the others did not do). Lastly, her soft skills, attention to detail, and follow up behavior are completely amazing!
