Mr. Hoy is easy to talk with and makes you feel like you’re being listened to without any judgement. He asks in-depth questions that make you look at the situation at different points of view to get a better understanding on the situation.

James is incredibly helpful. He relates to us, comparing his personal life with our relationship to really understand what we’re going through. We had some doubts for couples therapy but after our first session and with the exercises, we’re very hopeful and already feel better about the progress we can make.

James is wise and kind. He has great advice. He gave me one piece of advice that I shared with my wife and she said "No truer words have ever been said". That's quite the endorsement
