I cannot express to you how thankful and pleased I am that we came to see you last week. I know there are still issues to help her through, but I feel like this was the best solution possible for my daughter and we are headed in the right direction. It was really a wonderful experience and she responded so well -- telling me how good it felt to get some of those things out and help her understand her feelings.
My son's therapist is a down to earth, easy person to talk with. My son also is very comfortable with him which is all I can ask for at this point. Knowing he trusts Randy to help him with his feelings is comforting.
I don't know if I can find the right words to express how much I appreciated you fitting us in ... Your clarity made me feel better .. My only regret is that we didn't think of finding your sooner. Many thanks!
I can't thank you enough for all the help you gave [our daughter] and our family. Individually and in the group you really helped her get through a bad time. We are so grateful.
You have broken every mold of what we thought therapy was. [Our daughter] loved the group! Our family has so flourished under your nurturing care.
She absolutely loves group, and trust me she loves to sleep in, so the fact that she was motivated [to go on Sunday morning]... that is truly meaningful!
This is a first time ever experience of feeling like others understand [her] and cared. Isn't that a beautiful and rare thing? So glad to have found YOU!
You helped me so much, to get through one of the hardest times of my life. You gave me courage. Thank you so much.
