I was skeptical at first. My therapist has been what I need for years. But my generation doesn't believe in therapy. Just walk it off was we were told and other things like real men don't cry. If it wasn't for my therapist Janet Lawrence, I would not be here today. I am making progress and my outlook on life is better.

I love my counselor Laura Stark. This is my first time ever in Counseling, though I've needed help a long time. I'm nearly 63 yrs old. Mental health is a real problem for people of all ages.. This is only my second week. So I'll be doing this for the rest of time here on planet Earth. But, it will make it easier to manage my way around the pitfalls easier. So, I'm game
