My counseling style is relaxed, inviting and interactive.

Anthony Clark was always kind, approachable, and precessional to me. He provided great insight and wisdom. I entered into counseling with a lot of scepticism as to whether it could actually help me. Anthony delivered what I needed to help me through a tough time in life. I am very grateful to him.

He's been friendly and considerate and listened to my concerns. I appreciate having a mans perspective as most of my previous counseling has been with women. He's helped give me that small bit of a nudge I needed to help me with my confidence in a few areas. I feel comfortable expressing my concerns knowing he'll be able to empathize and provide some good feedback.
