I have been in long term counseling with Mari Craig for a number of years. I found her by referral…read morefrom the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) of the U.S. Postal Service and I initially sought her help with job stress and depression. What I like most about her sessions is her wholly supportive attitude towards the life decisions I've made that are mentally healthy for me while gently encouraging me to make beneficial behavioral, attitudinal, and relationship changes if needed. Her treatment process is very planful and well organized, and uses suggestions for methods of relaxation, exercise, and ways to gain insight and appreciation for positive thinking. She has authored a book which serves as a very useful supplement to her treatment process. I want to stress that I have a degree in Psychology and a background of 7 years as Counseling Supervisor in residential treatment centers for emotionally disturbed children and teenagers so I have a thorough understanding of how useful it is to seek professional help when having difficulty coping with life's challenges either personal, behavioral, or employment. Ms. Craig's counseling techniques are very creative and goal oriented and my overall experience with her sessions has been very positive and useful.

Grace absolutely loves Lisa and looks forward to every session. More importantly, Grace's speech and language abilities have grown tremendously as a result of working with Lisa. Grace has improved in every area of language - expressive, reception, reading and comprehension, writing, etc. Lisa also works hard with Grace on conceptual understanding of language - idioms, figures of speech, preposition, grammar, concepts of time and place, story structure, etc. These are all things that Grace struggles with. Lisa always takes the time to explain to us what she and Grace and working on and how we can help her at home to keep working on things. Lisa's rates are incredibly reasonable for someone with her experience and ability. In every aspect, Lisa is wonderful to work with. If you need a speech pathologist, you would be hard pressed to find a better person

Kassy's coaching services are LIFE CHANGING!…read more I found Kassy and Authentically Awakened Coaching during a very pivotal point in my life. I was in a dead-end career and looking to make an industry change. Originally, I just wanted some resume help and was not even remotely considering an actual life coach. However, from our very first consultation session, I knew Kassy a divine talent! From the initial call, she asked all the right, probing questions and at the end of the call, I KNEW I needed to invest in myself and seek her coaching services. Kassy is professional, informative, trusting, intuitive, and extremely easy to engage in meaningful conversations with. I found her coaching style to be very probing, but not in an invasive way. It has to be her natural ability to connect and even relate to me. Never once did I end a session and wished we never spoke. If anything, I wanted more time! At the beginning, I wanted simply wanted help with my resume, but at the end, she has helped to change my entire life!!!!! I give Kassy and Authentically Awakened the highest of recommendations! 6 stars, on my scale!!!

The end of July 2022, I was…read moreat a Fair and Vivian's husband stopped me and said I had a lot of energy coming off me and that his wife does readings. I said heck why not, you only live once. I asked how much it was and she said $50. Thought it was way too much, but gave it a go. Then she tells me I need to pay another $150 and that she would call me the very next night at 9:00pm and I would not have to pay anymore and she would help me heal. I'm not a gullible person and I don't trust people, but I trusted her. Well, as you can guess, she didn't call the next night. No call, no text, no nothing. Just ghosted me. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and time went on and I started to text and call with no answer. Then over a month later she calls and says she had Covid. So I apologized that I jumped the gun and was upset that she ghosted me. She then said she would call me the next day to reschedule. Never called. Then a week ago, she calls and wants to talk. I was thankful that my $200 was going to go to something. Well, she couldn't talk then, but she had to talk later. I said that I would have my kids later and it would be chaotic, but I agreed. She then doesn't call, so I call her at our time we agreed on. I actually got her. We start to talk. She hangs up and disappears for an hour. Then calls back and says her phone died, which I understood, but an hour went by and I'm a single mom of three kids and my kids were getting rowdy because it was dinner time and I told her I would have to reschedule because I already wasted an hour waiting on her. She then says she will call the next day between 9 am and 930 am. You know, whoever is reading this could be a psychic and tell me what they "see" happens next. Yes, she did not call. She did not text. She still has not called. And she still has not texted back. I want my $150 back. You can keep the $50 for the "reading". I can give you my Zelle or I will be disputing it with my bank and filing a claim. I'm a single mom of three and I'm very understanding, but you stole $150 and wasted so much of my time. I'm not like this, but don't screw someone over.
