Errick does his best to maneuver your brain into thinking positive. To be the best you. He's patient, and kind. He doesn't judge my humor, or my quirks, he just offers solutions to the issues I have with every day life. Keep Errick in mind when choosing your next shoulder to lean on.

I am amazed by the changes I experienced since I started my therapy with Errick. Is tough for me to open and talk about some issues, but Errick makes me feel comfortable and safe. Being a non believer in therapy for the most of my life, I am happy I decided to do it and happy with the path my life is taking. , Having Errick as my therapist is a good part of it.

One of the highlights of working with Errick is how he recognizes and celebrates my achievements, no matter how small. When I make progress, he takes the time to acknowledge it, which not only boosts my confidence but also reinforces my commitment to the work we’re doing together. It feels like having a coach who genuinely wants you to succeed and shares in your victories.

Thanks to his support and the steps I’ve taken under his guidance, I’ve noticed a shift in my outlook. Things are looking more positive these days, and I attribute a lot of that to Errick's straightforwardness and encouragement. Overall, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist who combines honesty with empathy and who is truly invested in their clients' growth.

I believe teen counseling is a good alternative if you can't find a therapist in your city or home town. Therapy alone is expensive and I just needed support when leaving a 8 year relationship or how to communicate I definitely got the answers I was looking for. Unfortunately therapy isn't cheap. But with teen counseling I was able afford a therapist for a month in order to get the answers I was looking for. My therapist definitely listened to my concerns and helped my self esteem.

This is the first time I have tried therapy and it's been helpful since day one. I have a lot of unspoken words that I keep to myself so having a professional to talk to makes it a much more helpful setting for me to work on my negative self-talk. I will continue to work on bettering myself, and I'm glad I was matched with the right person to help me through it.
