“When I had a mentor, that was the best thing ever. I had her pick me up, we’d go to lunch and I had someone who was unbiased, who just listened and was compassionate. That’s all I needed, even if it was for five minutes.” (a 21 year old client)

I love my mentor! She is such a sweet kind, genuine person. She is a really good listener and I like that I can have someone to talk to and basically vent. She's really my only friend honestly. Words really can't describe how grateful I am that she became my mentor. I thank you guys for setting her up with me. I like that I can get out and have me time without my kids and be able to hangout with such an awesome person!!
