“Debroah is very experienced in her profession and the only person outside my family that I trust with my life. She helped me gain the strength and be brave enough to make a decision on my own to leave a domestic violence marriage. I have a chance of safety, happiness and a future now. I’am forever grateful to Debroah for being a huge part in saving my life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support, wisdom and for every time you have put a smile on my face during our sessions.”
