I love the Hoarding and Clutter Support Group. So helpful to meet with people and understand my behaviors better. I'm thinking of going to the Depression group as well. Such a beautiful building and meeting rooms.

Very insightful book groups. They are as important as counseling to me. I accidentall put a word that's the opposite of important before editing and apparently a lot of people saw the review :/ This place is really helpful to me. Been going there for a few years since high school
