Floyd Smith is without a doubt one of the best therapists I have ever had in my life and I have had a number of them. If I had met Floyd earlier in my life I believe I could have avoided having to learn a number of very hard, expensive lessons. He is kind, caring, thoughtful, perceptive, intuitive and extremely knowledgeable. He helped me figure out ways to look at my situation that I hadn't been able to see. He gave me perspective on my situation which broke it down to size and made it seem manageable whereas before talking with Floyd I was all over the place with a seemingly insurmountable problem. Floyd is very authentic. I appreciate the fact he is an excellent therapist and I feel so fortunate I was able to have him as my therapist.
