Laurel is simply amazing, she’s helped me so much and I feel like she helped set my mental state back on the right track. Before I started therapy I was pretty bad but now I feel like I can take on the world and I have Laurel to thank for that. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for her. Thank you for everything!
