Very open and friendly. Doesn’t make me feel like I am being judged or like I’m talking to a therapist. It’s like talking to a good friend who’s knowledgeable about what I talk about and how to provide helpful feedback and advice for becoming better without feeling like it’s a burden or bad thing. Would highly recommend Rodrecus to anyone.

Honestly the best therapist I could ask for. He definitely makes me feel comfortable to say whatever is bothering me and he talks me through it with zero judgement. Therapy has helped me tremendously with me being a better person for myself. Im a better husband, dad, son, and brother because I took the time to get the help I need. So, thank you Rod.
