"In my worst times, Carol has helped me to talk through my crisis and come to the root of the problem, which is necessary in creating a solution. Now, I am able to think about situations differently and avoid the conflicts that I used to find myself in. Carol helps me when something is wrong, but continues to work with me outside of crisis to prevent them in the future." Allison
