"I met Bahareh for the first time when I left California State Prison – Sacramento (New Folsom). She was the first person I met outside the walls of prison after serving seven years, and she came into my life at a time when I needed support the most. My experience with Bahareh has been nothing but positive—1000% positive. She is incredibly kind, sees life through a positive lens, and, most importantly, she saw strengths in me that I didn’t recognize in myself.
There is no greater gift than realizing that I am more than what I once believed. During moments of depression and hopelessness, Bahareh always took the time to talk to me or respond to my messages, no matter how busy she was. Because of her, I finally understood my potential and decided that I wanted to do for others what she did for me—help them see their own strength."

"She is one of the few people who can make anyone feel special. She is very warm and empathetic. She has a trauma-informed, dynamic approach."
