"I just wanted to say that I love the counseling philosophy of your website. Thank you for putting the energy in taking action to make a positive difference. Your description of good therapy & counseling is right on target with my views."
- Natalie Masson, Ph.D.
"Your explanation of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, (and the disclaimer) as well as the "Elements of Good Therapy" document were impressive to me and consistent with my own philosophy. As someone who both practices and teaches CB Therapy I am often surprised at the profound misunderstanding of this theory and application. I believe you hit it right on and the "Elements" document echoed the philosophy from a non-theoretical point of view. Thank you."
- Gregory Cason, Ph.D.
