I had a great initial conversation with Wayne, he set the correct boundaries/expectations and I feel comfortable moving forward

Best counselor I've had so far. And I've had five previous ones before. The depth of his knowledge is impressive.

Mr. Terpstra is an excellent therapist. I’ve been in therapy, from childhood to now, and I had not found someone so helpful and knowledgeable in exactly the way I need in this moment of my life before. Highly recommend him. Especially if you want a compassionate, frank and open dialogue with a person who understands human nature.

Wayne Terpstra is a great therapist who gives real life scenarios and expertise to help guide therapy sessions. He is a great listener and takes the time to elaborate or give more information to better assist with problems that need further explanation. Wayne has made me feel okay without judgment to share my problems and concerns. I do feel that I'm on a better path since we started talking and I look forward to my future which I did not brfore therapy. Thank you for all that you do and I highly recommend therapist Wayne Terpstra!
