I appreciate Mrs Kimberly Green LPC for making my sessions so easy to open up with her. It would have normally taken me a while based on the fact this was my first time having a conversation with a therapist. She's very clear and she makes sure I understand what she's saying. I'm truly enjoying my session. Thank you Mrs. Kimberly Green LPC and Thrive
