What Clients Say It was in Janice's group that I felt hope for the first time in years. . . the honesty, humor and fire she brought to us gave me the absolute knowledge that I could do this.      Bill Z., Rancho Santa Fe The intervention was the best thing that ever happened to me. . . I'm not sure I would have heard the message had I not been made to feel like I mattered, a person of worth, not demoralized or ashamed. . . somehow I felt safe.      Sue S., Scottsdale
