Testimonials

  • "I have had the privilege of working with Ms. Follmar for many years when she worked for Cypress-Fairbanks ISD as a professional counselor. She always, always, always had the best interest of the student as a priority. She would think outside the box and come up with solutions. She would figure out long-range goals and a way to make them possible. If a family member or close friend needed counseling services, I would highly recommend Ms. Follmar."
