Carole made such a huge impression on me that I made her a character in a novel. She was extremely warm and compassionate, and had such a vibrant way of communicating. She was also beautiful.

In loving memory of the best therapist that I had the privilege of working with. She helped me immensely during a very dark period in my life. She believed in me when most people didn't, she gave me hope. She was more than just a therapist to me. I'll forever be grateful to her. She saved my life.
