I enjoy our time together and see evidence of real growth during that time.”

- “Fennisha is very patient, knowledgeable and bold when she needs to be and I appreciate that.”
- “Fennisha has been absolutely critical to my healing journey. She is knowledgable, compassionate and her approach helps me find the courage to examine and heal from things I struggled to face on my own.”
- “After 2 sessions of working with Mrs Gardner, I feel confident in her ability to help my husband and I get on the right track again. She knows when to ask for deeper explanation, when to wait for the response, she seems to discern when a response is coming from a place of misunderstanding - overall, I trust her expertise and would highly recommend her at this point. <br /> <br /> My husband is new to therapy. But Mrs. Gardner had him comfortable and able to share the first time we met. Thats unusual for him. He also has complimented her skills and appreciates the questions that she is asking, making him think about things he hasnt before.”
