What clients are saying

Blake has helped me turn my life around; he has become such an incredible influence in my life. Being his client has helped me re-build trust with the healthcare system. I don’t think I’d be in as stable a place as I am today, without Blake’s care

As a therapy newbie, I was concerned that I wouldn’t be “good” at it or that my problems were not bad enough to justify seeking help. From the start, Blake eased my worry and has been a patient, kind provider. He’s helped me develop skills for coping with and expressing my emotions. Therapy is hard, and working on myself is hard. And I’m glad he’s in my corner

Blake always makes me feel heard, and I can tell he genuinely cares. I can honestly say that I have seen a lot of progress and positive change in my life and am very optimistic about the things I still have to work on. I cannot speak highly enough about him or recommend him enough

Blake has helped me grow into a better father, husband, and ultimately a better man. He does a really great job navigating the delicate balance between supporting me and challenging me. I have found working with him invaluable. I have recommended him to friends and family already and will continue to do so
