Dee Thomas is a great counselor. She provides a perfect balance of talking through things, teaching during sessions and reading, reflecting and prayer between sessions. She reaches out to check on me and has become a true source of accountability and I really need that right now. Dee is easy to talk to and kind and knowledgeable and I couldn’t ask for a better counselor
