The lights are on but nobody’s home. - Clint Black Came to see the office location and complete my questionnaire. New style, empty lobby. Could leave a sign-in list. I’ll see James Farley on Monday afternoon I guess. Craig

After 7 months of individual and couples counseling, it just seemed like I was destined to have to accept the status quo, and not feel like real progress would be made.. As a senior citizen that's been around the block a few times, I was dubious about how counseling would help in our communication concerns. Approximately 2 weeks ago, to the extreme credit of my counselor, Dr Kennedy, he hit the mark on helping me get through my barriers and I was almost immediately gratified at the outcome. Patience is too much of a "cliche". It took many hours of listening, agreement and disagreement, and trial and error homework sessions to come up with a solution that in my view was right on target. The real purpose of this review is two fold... First, I absolutely credit Dr Kennedy with a never give up attitude and continually trying different things to reach a positive outcome. He was always a good listener and I felt he had a personal interest in helping me achieve success. He always emphasized to first "learn the process", and then "put it into practice". Second, I believe it is wise to think of counseling opportunities as a journey that may not reach its goals in an a few visits. Rather, continue to work hard over tiime at suggections for improvement, don't give up, and hopefully the hard work will lead to success.
