Takiesha is great! Our sessions have been invaluable even when I just showed up, not having completed the assignment. Takiesha was able to meet me where I was and keep me moving toward my goals. This quality has served me well because I am meeting my goals…yayyyy!!! Kudos to Takiesha!

If this was a dating site then I would have taken my profile off already because I have found my match. I was a bit hesitant coming into therapy because I have done it before and I just don’t feel connected and understood or heard. With Takiesha I have never felt more comfortable sharing so truthfully with her. She made me feel safe and not judged for the things I say because I judge myself a lot. I felt not rushed as we discussed different things in our session. I was able to talk to her and she was so patient to hear me out. It’s only been 2 sessions but she has helped me work to understand myself more and thus helped me unknot some parts of the things I struggle with a lot. She told me about a method of stones in the garden to help me to always come back to take a look at some concrete things I have written down to empower my decision making skills when I may be at a time of weakness. I have used this method several times and it has been able to ground me. I’m a devout christian and counseling and prayer work hand in hand and I can see God Work in many ways through our sessions. I have already been spreading the word for my friends to try counseling with better help because it’s so easy and it has kickstart my new discovery of stronger, better self.

She is amazing and understanding and very helpful! If I didn’t have to stop doing sessions with her due to money problems I would’ve loved to have grown with her! These past three or so months that I’ve been working with her have made strides than I ever have before!

When I first had my session, I was so nervous and afraid of opening up. However she completely guided me through everything from beginning to end and really impacted my emotional and mental life for the best. As someone who’s afraid of opening up to others, I am so glad that I have all of this a chance and highly recommend this to everyone. :)

She is very great. Gets right into the meat. I feel she’s just really considerate and communicative. I’d recommend her for anyone who wants to see results right away. I’d say maybe not so much for people who just want to talk or whatever. She’s a problem solver!

Takiesha has been an excellent councillor. Not only is her approach kind and loving but she also has a good listening ear and really helpful suggestions. Her method has helped me to think about things in a new light and create substantial changes. The importance of a person who takes time to provide insightful responses cannot be underestimated.
