I was scared to talk to people and always felt like I didn’t fit in. Learning how to manage my fear helped me open up. I made new friends, and I don’t feel invisible anymore.

I used to snap at everyone for no reason until Ms. Grillo came along. Her tough love helped me learn how to deal with what's underneath the anger helped me stop pushing people away. I feel calmer, and my friendships aren't falling apart anymore.

I always laughed at people who said they had a therapist. I found them to be weak until I started cutting. Therapy has literally saved my life. I don’t hate my parents anymore. Learning how to community actually saved us all.
