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.
