Report
Rosalind is a Muppet who only does reflective counseling, meaning she just repeats back to you what your saying. And Shontelle went on to analyze me based on the word of a known liar and manipulator and only after trying to have an impromptu counseling session with me where I declined. If Shontelle had been there in the couples counseling sessions with me, she would see that every time I brought an issue up, I was attacked verbally by my partner and the Muppet Rosalind didn't do a thing to stop the abuse and instead repeated everything back to us. Do not go here!!! And the 5 star reviews. One is
