Received Aug., 2015 – “ Hello Dan, I have been speaking to xxxx about his appointments and the reasons why we brought him to you in the first place. He brought up to me that he and I talk more and he listens better since he started going to you, and agrees that his and my relationship is much better, and he said that he doesn’t think he needs to see you every second week anymore… However, I would like to thank you for all your help and I am grateful for the blossoming relationship I now have with my son. I would like to ask, however, if he feels he might like to talk to you, that we could still come in if you have an opening. Again thank you for everything, and I look forward to hearing back from you.”(Printed with permission).
Received Aug., 2015 – “Working with Dan was an incredible experience. He had an amazing ability to pick up on what I was feeling and then put me at ease with words of encouragement and empathy before I even said anything. He was so easy to talk to and I never once felt judged, much like talking with a good friend. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”

For marriages and relationships, he has developed a very effective Brief Solution Focused Therapy that generally makes a significant difference within 6 sessions.

It gives Dan great satisfaction to help couples save their marriage or relationship!
Couples can legally get married without any prior preparation and, once married, begin to realize that there are many potential barriers to the success of their marriage, and that there are many differing opinions on quite a variety of subjects. Dan strongly recommends laying a strong foundation for a successful marriage before the date of the marriage or union. He uses an eleven session program which helps the couple to prepare in advance for a long and happy future relationship! Many couples feel that this is the best investment that they could have made into their marriage! As the old adage says so correctly, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!”
