“I was hesitant to try a guy for therapy but after having a session with him I am very happy I did. He is helping me with a great deal of things I have went thru and are still going thru now… he is a godly man! That right there is a need, I couldn’t and I don’t want to do anything without God so for him to incorporate God into our sessions and how we close with prayer every time, I would not want any other therapist ever going forward.”
