Mrs Marcia Forrest….
As a counsellor Mrs Forrest embodies a composed individual who listens, examines and offer sound advice. When speaking to Mrs Forrest one is comfortable knowing that he/she will not be judged or talk down on.
Mrs Forrest for the short time she was here, in my estimation was a very good additional. During her stay, Mrs Forrest and I had a few sessions in which she was both helpful and insightful. I believe that if given the opportunity Mrs Forrest can be of great help to
us here at Gateway.
