"I was able to take away so many helpful tips"
"I cannot recommend the team at A Work of Heart Counseling enough! Not only am I a local business owner who works with them, but I am also a mom who benefits from their resources. Kara and her team are incredibly heartwarming, and understanding, and instantly make you feel like you have known them forever. They have a special talent for turning any difficult conversation into an easy one. I've had the pleasure of being in open discussion groups with Kara, and I was able to take away so many helpful tips to support my husband and me through tough situations. I highly, highly recommend this amazing business!"
