Client Testimonials

"Sara has helped me turn my life around. I was having a tough time with drinking and balancing work with my personal life. She helped me get sober and repair my relationship with my wife. She is so professional, warm and knowledgeable. She genuinely wants to help and is a top notch therapist. Sara is the best therapist in town."

"My nutritional counseling session with Lauren are extemely eye opening. She helped me see the connection between my overeating and stress. We put together a plan that has helped me not only reduce my stress eating, but drop 15 pounds in the process. I can't thank her and Makin Wellness enough!"
Matt A.
