I have had great experience with the professionals here. My personal counselor is a xaring and supportive soul who has given strong guidance and reminders of my values when needed. Used to go here also for a couples counselor whose respectful and warm relationship with us was a treasure. I've engaged a bit wiyh the others here casually in the lobby and have a good impression of each. A solid resource for your support needs, and between the folks here you have a variety of approaches and emphases that can between them find just the right fit for you.

I have been seeing the professionals at FFS for over 20 years. Although it has not been continuous, I have always been welcomed back. My mental health has been in great hands and am here today because of them. Thank you.
