"My experience with Laura Burton as the spouse of an IA/SA has been remarkable. 3 months ago she met me as an angry, wounded and resigned partner, not even sure I wanted to try again. I learned quickly that for true recovery it takes the work of both partners. Laura has worked with me through issues personal to me with knowledge, honesty and compassion. She has been through all that I’m working on and that is very relevant and comforting. I feel free to contact her out of session via text and she responds quickly with understanding and kindness."
