“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." This is a quote by Dale Carnegie. It is what I truly believe to be true. Hope is always present even when you can't see it. I pride myself in helping others see the hope and courage they have inside of them. I am a very caring, compassionate therapist who believes everyone can get better with help from another."
Sincerely;
Michael J. Connelly, M.ED,NCC,LPC
