He is a great support system

Spoke to Philip after a major injury and invasive surgery upended my life, and I went through a bad breakup around the same time. I am not someone who ever sought out or felt I needed therapy, but I thought it would have been irresponsible not to touch base with a mental health professional in light of this accumulation of crazy life events. He was extremely reassuring and humorous while I recovered from the physical and mental stress of this period, and as a bonus, he has a great understanding of the mind body connection.

Phil is the man.

Through our third meeting, I have greatly enjoyed working with Phil! We were able to establish rapport immediately, and he has been very easy to open up to about any topic. He reflects on issues that I bring up and regularly asks follow up questions, which leaves me feeling very much listened to. I am very happy to have been paired up with Phil, and look forward to our future sessions!
