Through some research I found 2nd Chance whose office is only minutes away from home. Talk about a blessing. The staff is friendly and extremely accommodating with payments. I worked with two counselors. Candy was the first. She is very knowledgeable of the topics discussed in class. And always willing to assist those in need with numerous issues. Linda was the second. Leading group discussion, she always encouraged clients to talk freely about their thoughts and experiences. Linda is rather open herself so there was never the notion of judgment. And the fact she had a sense of humor was great. I highly recommend 2nd Chance for Auto Related Courses. I have learned collectively many of the staff members have led adventurous lives themselves. Knowing the ins and outs of the system, openly referring you to other/outside sources for further assistance. All together the session went by quickly and was relatively cheap. And don't skip out on classes if you can help it as you will have to make them up after your entire session is through- at an additional fee for each class missed.

I have been pretty depressed this past year and a half and made many mistakes along the way. This includes alcohol and substance abuse which led me to a dark path. I had some legal trouble that really broke me and with the help of Dr. Lauren I was able to get through it! She was able to shift my negative thinking into a more positive outlook in life and it has helped tremendously. My anxiety decreased and I was able to make huge improvements and changes in my life. With the energy I was able to get the best results in my legal trouble and I am so happy with the outcome. Seriously my perspective of therapy changed big time. I thought it was for those who weren't strong enough to help themselves, but it was the opposite as it takes a bit of courage to see a therapist. I have a bigger appreciation towards the profession and thankful for how much Dr. Lauren has changed my life.

She helped me understand so much more about myself and patterns and how to find resolutions and even how to honor myself for all the good things that make me, me. She gave me so many tools that I continue to use when I have to deal with various challenges and how to transmute certain feelings. She gave me validation I never understood I needed and made me feel safe and calming down my nervous system, which for years was tested. She offered plenty of resources for different things we discussed which I appreciate the heck out of her for. If I could I would have continued sessions with her as I just looked forward to speaking with her and working with her to gain strength in my thoughts and emotions and find better constructive solutions to just about any scenario, I just didn't have the financial means to continue. But I think of her often and how grateful I am for the tools she provided to help me continue on my healing journey. I look forward to being able to have sessions with her again in the future!

Wow, Mats definitely deserves more rave reviews for his counseling expertise…read more I'll do my small part here. My family has been going through catastrophic changes with a string of divorces and high dysfunction. It was beyond words to watch your own father self-destruct and watch his wallet get torn through his loins through alimony--all while all his children can only watch the carnage. Seeking the wisdom to create a divergent path, I took my time to find a counselor that I could connect with. I particularly wanted a male counselor as I felt more comfortable that way. There's less explanation needed for certain subjects. What really impressed me with Mats was his short website video which gave me a basic understanding of his patience and rehabilitative nature. He's also Swedish and the many anecdotes of secular humanism success in the old Viking lands are true. Fremont is incredible fortunate to have his expertise and patient counseling in your corner.
