Written on Jan 22, 2025 after therapy with Ronald for 1 year and 9 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes
I have had the privilege of working with Ronald for over a year, and I can confidently say that this journey has been transformative. From the very beginning, Ronald created a safe and compassionate space where I could openly explore my thoughts and emotions.
Through our sessions, I was able to work through the pain of a past relationship and rediscover my sense of self. Ronald guided me with patience and empathy, helping me build the tools I needed to heal and move forward. I am now in a healthy, fulfilling new relationship, and I am more in tune with myself than I have ever been.
What sets Ronald apart is his ability to truly listen and challenge me in ways that foster growth. He not only helped me uncover the patterns holding me back but also empowered me to create meaningful, lasting changes in my life.
I am deeply grateful for the progress I have made under Ronald’s guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate therapist.
