Her continued opinion/fact based advice and questions. Previous counselors usually just sat and listened and sometimes question but won't give an opinion. I appreciate the opinion ....

I especially appreciate being able to do appointments virtually. Ria is very accommodating, genuine, caring and has a sense of humor which is very much needed.
