Cecil is extremely attentive. He provides a lot of different resources to accompany his live sessions and has the experience and nurturing delivery that I find to be a perfect fit.

I requested faith based therapy, including prayer, and he has delivered. My past experiences had me prepared for traditional therapy with a small nod to my Christian faith. But Cecil listened to me and has placed the emphasis where I need it so I can heal and grow spiritually. He doesn't treat me as a set of symptoms to be treated, but a whole person in need of healing, leveraging his decades of experience as a chaplain in the military to provide psychologically aware soul care.

Cecil and I really clicked right from the start. In just 3 sessions I'm starting to get a better handle on my life and stay focused. I look forward to every session with him, and even more so for the person that he's helping me turn into.

Cecil is such a great person to speak to and listen to when giving and getting advice. You always feel safe when letting him know what your issues and concerns are in your own lives.
