About me

Hey, I would like to introduce myself, I am Philip and have a lot of experience with young people. My life before counseling was the life of a teacher school administrator. I worked as a school counselor and now enjoy addressing the needs younger people bring to a session. I always approach counseling from a developmental approach I possess a practiced knowledge of the development stages of young people. Brain development is key to understanding anyone but absolutely vital in working with children and teens.
I am looking forward to working with people who have such a bright future and being a part of that is really exciting.
See you soon,

Philip

Therapy with Philip has been very successful for me so far. I feel his professionalism and listening skills are superior to the therapists I have worked with.

Before starting therapy with Philip, I was pretty nervous seeing how I'd never spoken to anyone other than close friends or family about my personal life. Because Philip is such a kind person, I opened up a lot more than I thought I would in our first session. I appreciate your help Philip and look forward to our future meetings. Thank you

Written on May 18, 2022 after therapy with Philip for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship

Mr.philip, has been a great help! As most would like to think...an outside perspective or second opinion is always an option especially from someone who is neutral to any situation but has expertise in such. After describing in specific detail so therapist can advise or direct an individual on how to handle the situation and point out errors that may have been the negative point or start of negative energy,plus give you self assessment and exercise assignments to better yourself and situations if applied by client...it really has been tough but as for now they've been working for me.thanks Mr Philip.
Sincerely, Vincent Quick

Philip is a genuinely kind person whose main interest is to help people. He listens without judgment and gives sound advice . He always has such insightful suggestions when it comes to learning to parent adult children. This has been helpful with my current situation. Philip has been a tremendous help in assisting me to get out of feeling stuck in a low place. My depression and anxiety are lessened and I attribute this to FINALLY being able to get sound therapy with such easy access. He always answers and responds in a timely manner when I feel the need to vent during the week. This has been extremely beneficial to me.

My husband and I absolutely love Philip and our time together. We get a friend who listens to us, encourages us, prays with us and hold us accountable to do better. We love having Philip's support as we navigate thru marital issues and we either get validation that we are doing the right things and we get encouragement to continue or we get encouragement and solutions for a better way of navigating our marriage. It's a win-win for us. The biggest advantage we love about spending time in counseling with Philip is having a safe place to discuss deeper issues that we may not feel comfortable exploring on our own. We are extremely grateful to Philip and the work and time he's giving us while strengthening our marriage.
