Feedback from LCA clients:

I appreciated being treated normally, even though I was getting help with a difficult situation.

I like that the staff are flexible with scheduling.

My son and daughter are making steps toward our family goals!

I love the comfortable feel in the office.

The staff have good attitudes and open minds.

Our counselor wanted to meet our entire family to find out how to better help our son.  She offered lots of suggestions and things to help us in the long term.

She's thinking through things with me instead of just giving directions.  It shows that she cares.

Listens to both my child and me.  Getting us through some very difficult times with care and compassion.
