HI had my first session today and it was a great experience with Chanda Short. She was very friendly and easy to talk to about issues I'm dealing with. Chanda understood everything that I was explaining and was very empathetic to my situation which made it a comfortable environment for me. I will definitely be seeing her again.

My husband is not the type to admit or seek help with challenges, so convincing him to take this step was a big deal. Chanda Short made him feel completely at ease and eager to begin the processes he needs to be his best self.
