Life-Changing Experience with Jennifer
Overcoming Severe Depression

Root Cause of Issues
Jennifer helped Isabella identify the root cause of her issues, which stemmed from her parents' inability to express emotions healthily. This realization enabled Isabella to confront and deal with the underlying problems, rather than just addressing the symptoms.
