“I worked with David last year in responding to the struggles I observed with a family member. David was very thorough in developing an accurate understanding of the situation from all aspects. His professional presence is very caring and attentive. He equipped me with a solid understanding of the situation, some of the ‘whys’ behind behaviors, and wasn’t afraid to confront me gently with my own biases in viewpoint. Ultimately, he gave me the knowledge, and confidence to open a dialogue with my family about eating disorders, addiction, and root causes of depression and how families are diseased too when a member of the family is caught up in unhealthy behaviors. David also was able to quickly suggest different strategies that we could use and specific resources for each. I could not have been more pleased with my investment of time and money with David.” –Mother, Chicago, Il

“Last evening, I went back and read my family’s intervention letters, as I do each sober anniversary.

What a journey it’s been.” –Patient, Evanston, IL

“You understood our son and understood what our family needed. I often felt angry and directed that anger at you, but you were patient and non-judgmental when you needed to be. You were always there, you always returned calls and you always listened. I wont say I always liked your message but I will say your messages were thoughtful and helpful and in the long run, what our family needed to hear.” –Mother, Evanston, IL
