Recently, two of our counseling center clients wrote letters to their therapists thanking them for their help and guidance. I wanted to share excerpts from these letters with you so that you can see how your support is making a difference in the lives of people in our community.
If I could find the words to thank you, I'd be able to fill this whole page. But I honestly don't know how to express my deep appreciation for all the help, guidance, kindness and prayers you've blessed me with these past few months. You bring so much more to therapy than just education and training - you bring your heart, wisdom and experience.
I've gained more help from you these past months than I have from years of therapy from other [therapists]. I'm really going to miss you - but the impact you've made on my life will last forever. I pray for the very best for you and your family. God bless you!

I think it is important for you to know that you have impacted my life immensely. A lot of times it is hard to see God's hand in my life, but I believe with all my heart that he planned for you to be my therapist.
I cannot thank you enough for letting God use you to speak truth to me and help me to learn to like who I am and see my strengths, even though I have been told that they were weaknesses.
I really feel like I have grown by leaps and bounds because of our time together. I feel stronger, happier and closer to being my "true self" that God intended for me to be as a result of my sessions with you.
