These aren’t typical therapy reviews. These are stories from couples who tried traditional therapy without success, individuals who worked with multiple therapists before finding breakthrough results, and people who discovered what happens when you work with a specialist who focuses on outcomes, not just sessions.
Every testimonial represents real transformation; not just temporary improvement, but lasting change that continues long after therapy ends.

When Other Therapists Couldn’t Help
I’ve had a lot of therapists over the last 17 years and I’ve never had a counselor bring me through this much progress… ever. Not even close.”
Dave is the most professional therapist I have ever worked with. He provides well informed advice, and was able to help me through a very difficult relationship crisis other therapists weren’t able to help with. What I learned is that specialization is important.”
From Hopeless to Transformed
Before starting therapy, our relationship felt toxic and hopeless. It seemed like no matter what I tried, nothing changed, and the fate of our marriage was out of my control. Dave saw the love we still had for each other and believed that with the right skills and tools, we could turn things around.”
You are a true therapy hero. I was terrified going into therapy because I have done it for years, but my husband was already checked out of the relationship and completely against therapy. He was a brick wall at first. I saw the look in your eyes our first two sessions, that look I’ve seen in my own eyes. The reality that this might not make it long enough to heal it. But you were hard on us and honest and held us both accountable.”
