Mr. Johnny is a great therapist and I really enjoy our conversations and his input when I have need of assistance or when I am needing direction.

I like John. He fits my style of conversation. He listens well and offers sufficient feedback. From day one, he offered information that was applicable to my situation.

Johnnie consistently brings a unique, down-to-earth perspective to our sessions that helps me see the bigger picture. I really appreciate how he challenges my assumptions in a non-confrontational way and prompts me to think in ways I hadn't before. With his guidance, I have come head-to-head with some truths about myself that I was previously repressing and/or avoiding for a significant part of my life, and I feel like I always walk away from our sessions with something valuable to think about and act on before the next. In the turbulent seas of life, my time spent with Johnnie is like a placid, tranquil lake, and when my sessions with him come to an end I will most certainly look back on them fondly.
