Reviews
Wayne has been great in helping me to work through my internal struggles and develop tools to cope. Trying to sort through my problems on my own was going nowhere and just kept me running in circles. I'm starting to see a way out.
Mr. Crooks is a gem. He is warm, kind, considerate and fully present in our sessions. He provides meaningful and insightful advice. I actually write all of it down in a little journal because it’s so relevant and meaningful to me- never found the need to do that with a counselor before!
I always look forward to my sessions with Mr. Crooks!
Anyone would be lucky and honored to have Wayne as their counselor. His kind soul and demeanor can make anyone feel comfortable!
Very good at what he does. All around enjoyable to speak woth
Wayne is a warm and supportive counselor. He is non-judgmental, kind, and helpful. I'm grateful to have met him!
So far I am content with Mr Crooks' interactions and counseling sessions.
