What Our Clients Have Said

“As a mental health patient for the last 8-ish years I have seen the gamut of people, and Rebecca is seriously gifted in what she does. She is a great teacher and guide.”
“I just want to say thank you for everything – Rebecca's wisdom, knowledge, expertise in her craft, her heart, and willingness to go above and beyond.”
“Ren’s sincere and patient listening, along with encouragement, has provided a positive direction for my life & will continue to be an inspiration.”
“I always left my meetings with Ren with plenty of new perspectives and excitement to try to apply some new ideas to my life. It’s been so helpful to be able to talk to him and hear his insight on the things I go through.”
“Because of Rebecca I’ve dug deep and uncovered things that were holding me back from true healing. Because of our work I look forward to all that life has to offer. I am much more optimistic – speaking up doesn’t feel scary anymore and hard conversations are now mandatory.”
“Ren is super cool and has a very approachable demeanor. He’s made me laugh and smile even when I didn’t think I could. I really appreciated his patience with me, and it’s made my journey a whole lot easier.”
“Honestly, if it weren’t for Rebecca I would have never remembered who I truly am. Because she took the time to help me even when I didn’t want it at times, she gave me the opportunity to be myself again. This world truly is a better place because she’s in it.”
“I never used to go out because of my anxiety. Ren has helped me grasp ways to cope when I go out in public. Now I’ve been to a Vikings game, a Twins game, a Lynx game, Mall of America, museums, and more! I can walk about with no problem now. Thank you.”
