Great experience for my son

Written on Jul 08, 2025 after therapy with Jerome for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, and coping with life changes

It was my first time starting therapy, I was nervous and unsure of the decision but within a few minutes of speaking to Jerome, I knew immediately I made the right choice. He brought things out to my attention that I didn’t realize that I was struggling with. And I love that he gives homework to help deal with those things. His advice is great and always makes me laugh no matter how difficult the conversation is, which makes me open up more to him. I’ve grown so much in just a few sessions with him

Great therapist

Written on Jun 19, 2025 after therapy with Jerome for 2 months on issues concerning relationship

Jerome is a very skilled therapist who truly cares about the work he does. You will not only be listened to, but you will be heard. You can lay yourself bare, problems, sins, and complications; and he will point you to the right path to find yourself. He's a wonderful person and I wish I could have had the pleasure of shaking his hand before we parted ways.

I truly appreciate that my therapist is down-to-earth. I also value that the therapy sessions allow us both to discuss our concerns openly, without feeling singled out or judged. I appreciate the use of thoughtful examples, including some from the Bible, which are integrated appropriately. From our very first session, I felt that he was a great fit for us and that we connected well.

Jerome has been an absolute blessing from the Lord. This man has a heart for God and is so good at taking my struggles and turning them into motivation to do better.
He applies parts of the Bible to my daily struggles in ways I’ve never thought of and he just gives me so much inspiration to be the best me. 10/10 would recommend Jerome!
