He has been great so far but we have only had 2 sessions. However, I do feel that he actually tries to understand and get to the bottom of what’s bothering you and the root causes along with actually trying to understand who you are as a person and where you come from.

Jim is a good listener. I am only now learning how to best use my therapy. I should journal more often and need to ask for exercises/ worksheets more oftrn. You get out of it what you put into it.

Jim is a very understanding and patient counselor. He has been a tremendous help to me with dealing with the issues of life and Asperger's. I really value his help and would recommend him to anyone looking for a counselor.

Jim is a fantastic therapist. He's supportive, a great listener, kind and patient. He and I made great progress in only a few sessions, and I'm still making progress afterwards because of his guidance and advice. I highly recommend him as a therapist.
