"I have made tremendous progress as a result of our work together. I am no longer engaging in the worst of my Inner Circle [sex addiction] behaviors. I am currently sober from drinking. I have deepened relationships with close friends and weeded out the ones who are bad influences on me. I have become so much nicer to myself and understand myself much better. I was able to get on anti-depressants. I had my first real relationship. I am starting to live by the principles of the 12 step programs that I am in. I have not taken any action of self-harm. I am more emotionally in touch with the world." -A., former client
"Thank you for your time and caring attitude over the last 6 months. With as much as I have shared with you, and the way you have always kept a genuine, caring and professional approach, I just wanted to say thank you. I feel extremely fortunate to have had you as my counselor". -S., former client
"Having not had any therapy, except briefly, 38 years previously, I opened up. What enabled me to do this was that you were very comfortable, and quite trusting, to talk to. I got the impression you were listening. You seemed to care, whereas some counselors seem very cold and clinical, almost robotic. You weren't a push-over. You didn't always agree with me even at times when I wished you would. I thank you again for your counseling, again I can't praise you enough, and I wish you the best." -D., former client
"I just want to say thanks. I realize there is a long road and long life ahead of me, but you've guided me in the right way and I'm ready to take it on. I am truly grateful." - E, former client
"I learned a tremendous amount from our individual sessions. Thank you so much for all your help and care. I look forward to reaching back out to you with my progress down the road. I truly admire the great work you do and you have been an inspiration." - A., former client
