“Id like to start by saying I saw one of Jamron Counseling’s interns Sabrina. This was my first ever therapy appointment and after our 50 minute conversation (I am dealing with a lot of grief) it felt like a literal weight was taken off my shoulders. She listened, gave great pointers, and I am genuinely so glad I made this appointment. I am excited for future sessions with her, and if she didn’t tell me she was an intern I would have thought she wasn’t. ”
