Victor is a Godsend, his overall humbleness and sensitivity is so comfortable. He never made me feel less than human and that's all I ever needed out of a person. Thank God for you Victor.

I have already recommended BH to numerous people - I even wrote a testimonial for my state dental association’s quarterly magazine. Spencer has been wonderful and I couldn’t be more thankful to have been matched with him right off the bat. He truly has made a difference in my life and his help has made me a better man.

I think Spencer is great, sometimes he wants to get more in to my past while I want to focus the present. Otherwise he gets all gold stars

I am very happy to have an amazing person like this to work with. I've been to many over the years and so far this is the best and most productive experience I've had. He is very easy to talk to and trust. He does go the extra mile to be compassionate , understanding and helps me talk through issues so I can identify issues that may need examined closer and worked on. This is exactly what I was looking for and have found. Id highly recommend him to anyone.

I just started talking with Spencer a few weeks ago and he gave me hope that I'll find solutions to my problems again. I felt hopeless-that I just need to accept that I'm not going to be happy anymore-,but he's helping me realize that there are indeed solutions and it's possible to be happy again.
