" I was embarassed and scared, because I thought someone like me, someone with straight A's, a varsity athlete, a social butterfly, was not supposed to be depressed or have anxiety. One day, as things started growing worse and worse, and a friend of mine told me I should go talk to a counselor. Although I was very hesitant, there was no question that the person I needed to see was Dana. I walked into her office discreetly and quietly because I didn't want anyone to see me go. But when I walked in, the biggest thing I remember was the smile she gave me when she first saw me. The first few times I saw Dana I was mostly quiet and it took me a while to really say anything and open up to her. I still wasn't past the fact that I felt like I shouldn't have been there- I didn't need to be there. One day, Dana asked me a question that really hit me hard, it was something I had never really saw. That's when I broke out and told her everything. I actually said and admitted some thing that I have never said or admitted before. I felt like the weight of the world lifted off of my shoulders. From that moment on, I continued to go see Dana willingly because I wanted to and because it was so helpful."- High School Student
" Dana made it easy to feel comfortable in class and most importantly made it easy to trust her" - High School Student
"I have been seeing Dana for several months now, and even though I still struggle with my issues, I'm growing. Dana has taught me healthy coping skills, how to recognize when I'm falling into a negative state, and how to get out of it. She's helped me to understand that I shouldn't be embarrassed for being who I am, and I shouldn't let other people or things dictate my happiness. Even though I'm still working on applying these things to my everyday life, I feel a sense of security now. Now I know that I have someone that I can go to when I'm feeling alone, or sad, or even happy!"- High School Student
