Meet “Terry”
Counseling Client at JFS of Central NJ






“I have been struggling both mentally and emotionally over the last 5 years and got nowhere with my previous counselors. When I came to JFS, my counselor Kathleen Russo was and continues to be a blessing.

When I began with Mrs. Russo, I had no hope for my life, survival or getting over my fears and mental struggles. However, Mrs. Russo's, patience, understanding, advice and discussion on how I could approach my struggles has given me courage, strength and hope as well as inspiration to face those mental and emotional confusion and/or demons.

While each day I face these decisions, thinking of Mrs. Russo gives me the strength, courage and motivation to take the steps I need to to get out there and start living a healthier life. I don't know where I'd be without her. Mrs. Russo makes me think and consider things I didn't want to face, which has helped me realize there is a way for me to conquer my fears and challenges.

Additionally she is flexible and accommodating to my needs and I look forward to continuing my sessions with her and am positive that she'll help me overcome my struggles.”
