Dr . Spelgatti is great to work with. He is intuitive and has an excellent understanding of both psychological and spiritual matters. He can take my somewhat long-winded messages and summarize them in only a few sentences which helps immensely in figuring out why I feel the way I do about whatever the topic at hand is. He is also excellent at explaining how different theories and systems work, for example CBT.
He uses a variety of approaches and gives me homework to do which helps keep up the momentum during the week.
I would highly recommend him
