Paul Clark has helped me take a step back and evaluate what I can control and be more open with my family.

I'm looking forward to talking to Paul Again
Paul’s ability to really listen and focus on our conversations make me feel relaxed and more open to discuss things. He is very helpful in giving worksheets that pertain to me and gives guidance on how these can help.
Mr. Clark is genuine. He is relatable and does an excellent job at breaking things down.
Paul Clark really captures and understands his patients I am tremendously blessed to have him.
Great listener. Gave detailed pointers. Also shared documents for healthier and better living which was very useful
Paul has an open, honest, and non-judgmental style of communicating that made me feel comfortable to share my vulnerabilities early on. I felt like he was “on my side” but also able to call me on what might be a false assumption. I definitely benefited from speaking with Paul.
Mr. Clark is an awesome therapist and I like the fact that he assigns homework and follows up on feedback.
Paul was very helpful. He listened well and provided great advice. I do not normally share my personal challenges but he created a positive and comfortable space that encouraged me to share.
Amazing therapist! Literally pin pointed what I needed to work on to help the issues I had to deal with. He helped me find the right methods so I can start my healing journey. With everything I expressed, he read between the lines and helped me find my standing ground. Exceptional work and knows exactly what he is doing. Loved working with him and I highly recommend him.
Very understanding and gives good tips and advice on what to do and how to go about it
Paul is awesome and had a wonderful ability to relate. He also hears out my problems and asks great questions that provoke thought and help me get into the root of what is going on. I love working with Paul and look forward to our sessions.
This is my first time in therapy and he makes it very easy and comfortable
Paul has been excellent qt listening and understanding
