He is a good guy he listens to me and helps me understand things that I haven’t noticed and things I need help to change

Written on Mar 02, 2023 after therapy with David for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes

I have been working with David for the last three months after having extensive therapy with 8 other therapists off and on for the last 10 years. David has surpassed all of my other therapists for several reasons. His approach and willingness to learn, listen, and adapt to his client’s needs are amazing. Often, I had trouble with other therapists who could not relate to modern day issues (such as race, economic conditions, financial conditions, family dynamics) and it caused extreme frustration and a lack of trust. David had made such an impact in my life that I have been able to fully start to heal from years of childhood abuse, grief, and unforeseen circumstances. It is very rare to find someone such as David, who takes his clients complete life story and can help utilize them in a way that helps them blossom in the future. I had to write this review for so many reasons, because there are so many other people who could benefit from David’s help.

David Routly has become an adjective in my world, everybody needs a Dave. He is everything you would want in a therapist, kind, patient, experienced and insightful. I'm very lucky to have him in my corner.
