Building Trust in a Guarded World

Article by Terra Mattson, MA LMFT, LPC Owner and Founder, Principal

Co-Founder Terra Mattson has written a great article on trust on the MyCourageousGirls.com website. Courageous Girls is a curriculum that Terra has developed to “help moms discover their own courage in raising a daughter who knows herself as LOVED.”
