“I saw Rick for severe stress and anxiety related to my employment. I was dealing with several untenable situations at work that I felt hopeless in resolving. I saw Rick once a week to discuss these issues. Rick was exceptionally compassionate and non-judgmental in allowing me to vent and discuss the issues I was dealing with. He further immensely encouraged and supported me in my attempts to resolve my issues. During this time I was severely demoralized, questioned myself, contemplated quitting, and began having suicidal ideations. Due to the nature of my employment, it is difficult to attend therapy during normal business hours. Rick was very accommodating and flexible in our appointment times, which allowed me to receive the help I needed when I needed it. I was in one of the lowest periods of mental health in my life. I am extremely grateful and fortunate to have worked with Rick during this time. I firmly believe he and his assistance were an integral part in helping me navigate and overcome this challenging time in my life. The feedback and support he gave me during this time will empower and assist me in resolving similar issues in the future.”
