Rick has been there for me when needed and he offers me sound advice. He helps me to calm down when things upset me and offers me solutions to situations where I am not sure what choices to make in order to handle these difficult things in my life. He listens very well. I recommend him for therapy!

Rick is the best listener I’ve spoken to in a long time. He helped me understand what I was feeling by giving me space to feel it. This helped tremendously and it was just what I was looking for. In Rick you will find someone who hears what you’re saying and then presents it back to you and kindly asks you to have a second look at how you’re thinking. That’s all I wanted. I didn’t want a therapist who had “advice”. I wanted a therapist who would listen and help me navigate my thoughts. Rick does that!
