Gary is very understanding and a calming presence, I didn’t really believe therapy was for me but Gary has helped me realize I just needed the right person to speak to.

Ive written a review before for Gary but figured another now would be beneficial. He consitently reaches out and checks in on me regardless of wether I reply. I never feel judged and Gary has a lot of patience. He provides the necessary consistency with excercises to persist through my own struggles and hesitencys until I make progress. I highly reccommend Gary.
