What Our Clients Say
"My initial introduction to therapy wasn't great and I wasn't sure that I would find that right fit.
Simply Redefining literally redefined my previous experiences. I found a therapist who not only gives you practical and clinical advice but who also prays with you and gives you faith-led tools to keep you focused while growing. That's a win for me.
As someone who is grieving, in the midst of transition, caring for others and running a business,
I needed help navigating it all...and that's just what I got. "
