Client Stories

“I had a concept of sustainability when I started the men’s group. Although it was more toward renewable resources and preservation of our environment and sketchy with self. Through the meetings I came to a realization that to truly experience sustainability it first needs to begin with myself…”

— male group participant

“Thomas has a way of teaching that is both intellectual and casual. His style is execeptional and rare. Students learn almost without even noticing!

— Student

“You helped me trust my intuition and instincts and listen to my soul. And to forgive myself and others for being human…”

— 37 year old female

“I like it. I can chill, talk about stuff, and get away from my parents. I can talk about anything. I look forward to it for some reason.”

— 17 year old male commenting on a teen group

“Thomas encouraged me to seek the warrior in myself, to identify my own personal shield and sword in setting limits and shoring up defenses in response to attacks or challenges. The epiphany this work produced – identifying literally with my muscular, athletic physique and the strength and power it represents – gave me a very tangible and accessible self-image. I carry with me a new-found sense of personal strength and fortitude to balance and support my emotional responses.”

— 43 year old female

“I am a huge fan of Thomas.  I worked with him quite a bit while he was here and have a great deal of respect for his wisdom, and his experience with teens and family work.  I think that having a therapist who knows our program as intimately as Thomas does is a HUGE resource for our families.”

“I enjoyed your presentation. It confirmed many things I say to my clients and now there is some research to back those comments up! Makes me sound smarter when I say ‘research shows…'”

— Workshop participant

“I was at a low point and feel like that is behind me. I also feel that I have gained a lot of insight on how and why I was viewing the events of the past year that made me feel angry and sad. I think I also approach new relationships differently now. I understand where some of my own stuff was coming from and am now aware of it and able to control it and more importantly, recognize it.”

“I am certain that our brief time together has helped me immensely in getting me to where I want to be and I have no doubt that it has benefited my relationship with [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][my partner] and how I am dealing with a emerging adult in [my son].”

“Thank you so much for your feed back and help.  Remarkably last nights meeting went exactly as you suggested…  It was about values, “with discipline in communication, active listening and reflecting rather than challenging, avoiding being enmeshed and reactive, keeping centered and ‘breathing’ and not catastrophising about the future” and it worked.”

— Parent of teen client
