This place is highly disappointing and unprofessional. They attempt to gain your trust and then attack you and your character. Expensive waste of time. 0 stars.

I left a message so I could set up therapy for my daughter who is having difficulty coping with a chronic illness. I did not receive a return call. Very disappointing.
