CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
TROUBLED MARRIAGE - CHARLOTTE, NC
"I chose Mrs. Ford for marriage counseling as she was highly recommended to me. Two different friends of ours had a positive experience with her & thought she could help us reverse our decision to divorce. Mrs. Ford listened to us individually & collectively and allowed us to share our heart (which included our joys & pains)! I didn’t think I wanted my marriage anymore & after doing the work, my heart & mind was changed. We are so grateful for the “feel, deal and heal” space she created". #renewed
THANKFUL CLIENT
Over the weekend, I experienced something that would trigger my past and cause me to go into a place of Darkness and Isolation. When I realized, my mood was great and I had not experienced the darkness I expected, I cried because I knew, "My healing is real". I am not waiting for the darkness. I am not looking for the sadness. I am not isolating myself. I AM FREE. Sharhonda did more than expected. The HOPE I feel is life changing.
