I needed a counselor who would help me work through the loss of my dad. Grace was so kind and compassionate with me. I  feel like I am in a much better place.

I’ve always struggled to ask for help when I need it. After my friend suggested Laura to me for therapy, I reached out for support. I am so glad that I did!

As a first year college student struggling with ADHD, I was at serious risk of failing college at DePaul. That’s when I started working with Amanda. She helped me to learn skills to be more focused. I’m finally earning A’s and B’s instead of D’s and F’s. Thank you 2SC!
