I've had great rapport with Paul. I feel an understanding between us that reminds me of the benefit of talking out the good and tough parts of life with someone.

Mr. Clark has helped me so much as I try to heal from a traumatic experience. He's been understanding, supportive and he listens. He's a good therapist.

A solution focused therapist like Paul Clark is exactly what I needed! He is kind, patient, and asks the right questions to make me be accountable for my own success through this process. I've learned so much from him already and I feel comfortable sharing my personal struggles and truths with him daily and weekly.
