The term Legacy by definition means "something of value transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past." As I reflect upon my life I noticed people who laid up for me a legacy, a promise and hope.

Everyone deserves to aspire, achieve, dream, thrive, and rest. The miracle of the therapeutic relationship is not jus...
