“Ms. Van Acker is the best counselor I’ve had in a very long time: not only does she listen well, she is able to communicate to me in a language I understand and can act on, and is creative and organic in her approach. Rather than relying on standard-issue “techniques” that might not suit the individual’s worldview or cosmology (my situation, often, in mental health settings), Ms. Van Acker can both focus on the issue at hand as one step, anxiety say, and recognize the larger field in which a person operates or wishes to operate (social justice or teaching or difficult workplace that needs to be left or promising workplace where folks are just exhausted, etc.), all while recognizing the spiritual needs of the person before her. She is excellent.”
