I had a hard tim sticking with a councillor for years…I am very grateful for my councillor at couch. She’s helped me to have hope to getting back to whom I want to be. The best version of myself. This place is a game changer!
I was diagnosed with BPD and I had the opportunity to do an 8 week DBT course and it really helped. I no longer have extreme out bursts and they helped me process some of my childhood trauma. I also did neuroptimal and I find it helped me regulate mt emotions a lot easier. The staff there are probably some of the most professional and nicest people I've met in a very long time, so grateful for the couch!
