I just want you to know you've helped me so much. Event at the lowest point of my life, you've been so kind and understanding. You also understand the culture piece and how it affects things. Sometimes I think about "what would Nkenna say"

I was hesitant about seeking care because I've had negative experiences in the past. Nkenna was patient, she listened to me and did not push me into treatments I did not want. She also takes her time to explain things and I never feel rushed.
