“
I’ve been in and out of counseling for almost 14 years. When I started seeing my trauma counselor at Jewish Family Service, I felt a monumental shift in my mental health. They encouraged me to stay committed to my medication and my weekly therapy sessions to overcome years of abuse. My counselor is not simply helping me; they are genuinely healing me. In more ways than one, JFS has been a lifeline when I needed it most. -Tina, JFS Client
