Lauren was great. She squeezed me in in one day to discuss my concerns and she offered great ideas/help. She even texted to check in to see how things were going which I really appreciated. She had great recommendations and referrals as well. I appreciate all her help.

Lauren has been an excellent partner in my struggle to get out of my long covid related depression. I have hope for the first time in months, and it's due in no small part to Lauren and this platform.
