Ed is a wonderful therapist. He poses unique questions that I really have to think about the answers and I like that I get to be challenged in my thought process. I am a Christian and It’s nice to have a fellow believer, understand scripture or share it with me to encourage me to keep moving forward in my journey? It’s almost like chatting with a friend Been my therapist for at least 18 months if not longer.
