TESTIMONIALS
“Paul has helped me through multiple crises and led me to a more fulfilling life. I have had many therapists for over 35 years but I consider Paul the best. He is able to calm me down, work through problems and help me realize I deserve to be and that I am enough. I have multiple traumas that we work on together. I have never trusted a therapist more than I do Paul.”

“Mr. Clonts has been instrumental in helping me to understand and navigate my mental health symptoms and has given me tools and support in managing my mood and dealing with trauma. I am incredibly grateful for his kindness and support.”
- Liv
“Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for having worked with Paul. From our first session to our last, I felt safe and comfortable telling my story. There was no judgment, just support and help with dismantling old coping mechanisms and cultivating new healthy ways to cope with my new life. I wasn't sure if I'd ever feel better about my past, but I sit here today with a feeling of wholeness and worthiness that I never thought possible. His recall of information I've shared as well as his ability to keep me on track and focused on emotions I would often try to avoid - we were able to get to the root of my traumas and struggles with alcoholism. I'm left with a feeling of understanding and freedom. If I ever need support again in my journey, I would without question, schedule sessions with him again.”

“I’ve had therapists before…but my therapy with Paul, he knows me. He knows my personality, my character, and what’s best for me. I listen to him and things just work. He understands what’s going on…He’s totally present, he is engaged in everything you are saying. He’s a great therapist.”
- Cindy
“We've worked together for a year and I feel like we've made so much progress. Sometimes I just need to vent and he's so patient. Mostly, though, he has helped me work through many of the concerns I had when deciding to start therapy. We have a plan and we work through that plan every single week. I feel like our sessions have made me stronger and I'm so grateful for the work we are doing. Highly recommend.”
- Jen
“Paul has been a great counselor, he remembers little details about things I’ve shared and offers the support I need and an ear to listen when I just need to vent sometimes. Very professional, I would highly recommend!”
