Client Testimonials

"Shrein wasn't the kind of support that ended when the hour appointment was over.  I could feel that she cared about me as an individual, my process, and she made it a comfortable environment where I could have reached out to her any time I needed to.  I found her hands on approaches practical, helpful, and empowering."  -C.K., 20

"I felt completely safe in my sessions with Shrein, which allowed me to talk to her about issues that were too uncomfortable to acknowledge on my own." -Anonymous, 25

"In the two years that I have been working with Shrein, I have advanced farther in recovery than I thought was even possible.  I think it is because she knows how and when to challenge me.  I always feel safe,comfortable and supported." -B.S., 29
