John,talks to me like a friend making it easier,to talk about difficult subjects,rather than feeling like a patient.
I have been talking to him for over a year now and I can’t,imagine talking to anyone else,about my problems!
(I don’t know,what I would do without him,to help)

John is great. He takes me at my own pace. Our discussions are very enlightening as we discuss issues that I experience and provides me resources that help me learn about ways to cope. He's calm and very patient.

John knows how to give you the floor to express everything you need to. He gives great advice and tends to your exact problem. He also assigns material that hasn’t crossed your mind yet which are perfect solutions. He’s great for keeping it simple and clean and keeps your biggest concerns a priority. My first session with him felt like we were many sessions in already, I’d highly recommend him
