Of the therapists I’ve had, Rex stands above them with his level of knowledge and insight. He knows how to affectively bring light and calm to any given situation I express to him and offers a variety of helpful ways to reframe my thought process and bring clarity. I have only worked with him for about a month and can’t wait to see the progress I continue to make going forward with him.
