What our clients say:
“I am lucky that I was able to find Ramona from Hope for Hearts Counseling. I was in a very dark place and feeling extremely hopeless. Meeting weekly with Ramona has given me clarity on my life and I have been able to see how to make adjustments to my thoughts and actions to help improve the quality of my life. Ramona is a skilled professional and a wonderful human being that is able to listen and provide feedback. She is able to analyze a situation and deliver meaningful direction. I am grateful for Ramona and the opportunity to have her as a counselor.”
“When I first walked into Ramona’s office, I felt alone and was afraid to speak up for myself. From my work with her, I have learned to feel my emotions, accept them, and work through them in healthy ways. I now have multiple healthy relationships, both social and professional, in my life. Ramona has truly helped me come out of my shell, and I will forever be grateful to her practice for helping me find a new sense of confidence.”
“I would say that Ramona with Hope4Hearts Counseling is very good at making me think in ways other than my usual way of thinking. I leave our sessions feeling more prepared to deal with my problems. Very appreciative of you.”
“On the brink of divorce, my husband and I decided to go to counseling as a last resort to save our marriage. Ramona never took sides and helped us work through our deepest issues without judgement. With her help, we learned how to communicate again and strategies to deal with confrontation in the future. Six months later, our relationship is the best it has ever been.
There is so much that I could say. Your compassion and understanding is exactly what we needed. You are a wonderful facilitator!”
