"I have been working with and in the mental health field for over 10 years. A majority of my mental health work was in an adolecent psychiatric treatment facility in Denver, Colorado. I was the family liason for incoming patients, working with families on what to expect during treatment, their involvement during treatment as well as financial arrangments. I am working towards my Masters Degree in Social Work. I was diagnosed in 1994 with PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder. I have been on meds and in therapy since 1994 and have benefited from both extensively. I feel that I can give a well rounded view to patients, their family and friends regarding mental illness and the effects it has on all persons involved. Remember, you are never alone!!" - Jeanne
