He is excellent at his craft and I’m most grateful to have him as my therapist!

( letting other people dictate my life & feelings )

I was other focused & falling into an abyss of dark depression; into emotionally self destructive behavior, but he listened to all my concerns & goals.

Because of Clifford Nathaniel, I can now say that I see my light again! I feel strong again! Yellow is bright and blue makes me smile again.

Am I done?

NO, I hope to continue the work started with His help and am grateful to have access to Clifford Nathaniel via teencounseling.com!
