I am thankful and grateful to have a caring and empathetic yet very honest therapist . Althea is truly a blessing to me. She has helped me as I go through and process all that life has thrown at me. She reminds me that God is still in control and I will come out on the other side.

Althea is so kind, understanding, and empathetic. This is my first time ever trying therapy and she has made it such a wonderful transition for me. I feel comfortable talking with her and feel as though she genuinely cares.

She has been a godsend to me and my family. I have been to therapy for most of my life and started thinking they get paid too much to do nothing. I sometimes felt uncomfortable or uncared for by some and even misunderstood by others which I thought was odd. And the worst part was even feeling "unliked" . I felt like I wouldn't find a therapist who wouldn't give up on me after a while. Than, I found Althea and I feel like she's saving my life one day at a time. This almost "texting" way of therapy I'm not used to and I feel like since we always stay in constant communication, she never misses a beat which makes it so much easier and less stressful for me as a client. She actually wants to know about my day everyday and wants to talk to me and it makes me feel like I actually have a friend more than just a therapist. Like someone cares about me and how I actually feel. Than, when we have outer sessions, she's not wondering what's been going on the whole week and me having to waste time explaining everything because she already knows and has been preparing for me. I am so relieved to have met her and think this was one of the biggest blessings in my life. And the best thing is she's Christian, so she always helps me walk by faith which is groundbreaking for me and very important. I cannot possibly thank her enough and this is only the beginning!!!
