I have been seeing Leah Renfro at Aspen for over a year. I am very satisfied with my progress. She has been very caring and supportive, and also insightful into the source of many of my issues. I have a lot of work left to do, but I am confident that she will be able to guide me through my continued growth. (I have also met with Alisa when Leah was on vacation, and she was very kind as well. I was impressed that Aspen first of all offered me the option of meeting with someone else, and that this other counselor was also so easy to talk to.)
