    Gratitude. Literally. This provider saved my life when I needed it most. Depression and anxiety took over my soul after losing my job of 20 years and people I loved dearly. Life no longer had meaning because it was so difficult to cope with grief and the betrayal of a partner. I was left aimless, without perspective, and almost lifeless, close to an abyss. But even at my age, my guardian doctor influenced me to go back to school. I was very reluctant to change professions, but I went back to school, and with resilience, today I feel happy with a new perspective on life. Understanding and managing the phases of life, accepting that we are evolving spirits living a human experience and that we should never surrender to darkness. Gratitude, Dr. Luis Henkel, for bringing me light.
