“Haley offers me new perspective on patterns in my life and helps me dig into how I actually feel about something, which I'm not able to do on my own.

“I enjoy Megan's open mind and also how she never seems frustrated or unhappy when it takes me several rambling sentences to try to get to a point. She also asks excellent follow up to clarify things and does not appear annoyed when she asks if I am talking about feeling X, and I have to say no, it is more like Y. I feel respected even when talking about very difficult things.”

“To me, Megan takes into consideration what is important in my life, and instead of suggesting removing things that are meaningful but difficult, makes suggestions on lowering my stress around those things. When she does see my growth, which is often harder for me to see, she will point out how I may have reacted to a situation or trigger a year or two ago, and then helps me see for myself the growth in my reaction, my boundaries, etc”

“I’ve known of Laura’s clinical work for over a decade. She has always practiced with integrity and with a strong level of clinical expertise. Clinicians under her leadership at True Course Counseling, practice and follow the same principles she exhibits as a clinician. If you’re looking for a strong clinician to support you in your change process give them a call.”
