Written on Feb 21, 2025 after therapy with Clarence "Rick" for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, grief, and coping with life changes

Rick is a wonderful therapist! I strongly recommend his services to anyone in need of support. As a healthcare professional myself, I have high expectations for other providers, especially when it comes to mental health: Rick has exceeded all of those expectations. He invests a great deal of time both during and after our sessions preparing summaries and sending useful resources in between our weekly meetings. He is a great listener, responds wisely and non-judgementally, and has a very relaxed presence which really translates into me feeling a sense of calmness and ease around him. He is a professional and clearly brings with him a great deal of experience and wisdom to his patient encounters. I feel extremely fortunate to have met Rick and I know that without his support I would not be in anywhere near as good of a place as I find myself today!
