“Greetings, Too whom this may concern, from the very first day I knew that Vernon would be an amazing person! The conversation him and I have are outstanding. I feel that he actually listens to listen to me, sometimes (most of the time) I wish we could have a longer session unfortunately I don't think an hour is efficient enough for me personally! Really cool guy and very understanding, he never makes me feel undervalued or unheard. Truly would recommend him to any and all who seeks therapy...”

System error led us to Vernon. An appointment with our previous provider was deleted, thus unable to find a date/time that worked for my spouse and I. We began looking for a new therapist and came across Vernon. We are happy that we did. Vernon was truly amazing. He addressed the issues and provided us the necessary support. His methods showed results and we continue to put those practices into place. He is straight forward but addresses the root cause of the issue. I strongly recommend Vernon.

Vernon was easy to talk, The time spent flew by. Even though I cried during the session, when it was over, I felt like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. He picked up on how I was feeling very quickly after our conversation started, I would highly recommend him to anyone.
