Mr. Foster is a compassionate and thoughtful and funny man with good personality skills. He understands a lot about what interactions people have and healthy communication. He's not much for giving a lot of advice or input, but what he does give us useful and thoughtful and relevant.

Written on Mar 13, 2026 after therapy with Jeffrey for 1 year on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, anger management, and adhd

Always good, informative and productive sessions with great takeaways.

Jeffrey helped me navigate my way through a 12 year abusive relationship with my ex-wife by helping me understand personality disorders and what I was up against. It was a true relief in a time of complete isolation to talk to someone who knew exactly what I was going through, with tools to help me navigate through in a practical way. He is a true gem, with a wealth of information, and I would definitely recommend Jeffrey to anyone who is going through a truly difficult situation that just won't budge. Thank you!

He listens and he truly makes me feel heard. He’s really finding what my issue is and knows what we need to do to help my anxiety before normal coping mechanisms would even help! I’m so thankful he knows how to try and help the root of things instead of trying just surface things like others in the past have!

Jeffrey has been extremely encouraging and professional and helped me talk through a very very stressful time with my sanity intact. He provides solid feedback and suggests ways to look forward not just stay stuck in my current anxiety.

Jeff was able to pinpoint and aid with problems that I’ve been struggling with for over a decade. He’s completely changed my view on admitting my faults and getting help for myself!
