“Two years ago, I reached out for help. I felt like I was in a deep hole, a place of true despair. My self-worth was lacking. My self-confidence was in hiding, overpowered by a great sense of anxiety. The burdensome weight of my troubled past was holding me back. As I reached out for help, Barbara Stellard answered. She has been my constant cheerleader, guide, and voice of truth. She shined a light on my situation so that for once, I was able to see where I was, as well as where I was headed. She encouraged me to figure out what I really wanted in life. She never allowed the easy answers that barely scraped the surface. She urged me to go deeper. She has helped me learn to establish healthy boundaries and practice self-care. With her guidance, I have worked through feelings of depression and anxiety and come to a place of love and healing. Barbara has helped me to make positive changes in my life and to detect when I am backsliding in my self-care.” — Allie K.
