Lamara Johnson has been a great counselor so far. I feel very comfortable talking to her during our phone sessions. It's nice that she checks in with me during the week through the app. And she's very good at responding to everything I type to her. The homework and worksheets she assigns me each week have been super helpful and thought provoking. They've helped my husband and I communicate more effectively that we have been and it's already positively affecting our relationship.

Lamera is accurate in identifying my shortcomings, she is respectful, she is patient, and she asks the right questions for me to resolve my issues. I highly recommend her work.
