I couldn’t ask for a more supportive therapist. He is great!
He was great, asked questions to get to know me, listened, and really worked to understand me as a person.
He is better than I expected. I think he cares about me and my well being. He is honest and give great constructive criticism
Hard to say after only one visit but so far I love the dynamic. He let me talk - I ramble - I dumped a lot on him and he listened laughed when appropriate and asked questions that didn’t feel prying or uncomfortable. I enjoyed talking with him.
Robert was great. Asked all the right questions, great first session.
I am very pleased with the help I am getting. He has helped me face things in my past to get better in the present.
