From the initial screening call with Renfrew, I knew that this would be a place I would be heard and validated. I can truly say that Renfrew saved my life. They gave me a space to be authentically me and process through emotions that I had dug so deep within me, I didn’t even realize they existed. To my team in Pittsburgh, I can never thank you enough for helping me get to where I’m at today.
