I'd like to share a few personal thoughts and observations with you about myself and my work. I realize that finding the right therapist to lead you through the complex issues of your marriage and relationship is not an easy task, and I'm hoping that these brief remarks will help you make the right decision.
Over the years I've noticed that happy and successful couples, the ones with enduring and fulfilling relationships, have just as many problems as unhappy and unsuccessful couples. The difference is that happy and successful couples are able to talk to each other; they talk to each other honestly, openly and respectfully without criticizing their partners as they share thoughts and opinions.

Uncontrolled and inappropriately expressed anger is a major problem in relationships and in families.

These threats often lead to physical assaults, resulting in bodily and psychological harm to spouses, partners and other members of the family.
Most of us experience some form of anxiety in the course of day-to-day living. The cause of anxiety is not fully understood; however, traumatic life events appear to trigger anxiety disorders in people who are already prone to anxiety. Genetic traits may also play a role in how we interpret life events and how we react to everyday stressors.

I have been seeing Mr. Sherwood for a couple of months now and have found his counseling sessions extremely helpful. I was skeptical about whether seeing a mental health provider at first and scared of being stigmatized. I suffer from a chronic illness, which can be physically and socially isolating. In my sessions with Mr. Sherwood, I am learning how to take better care myself mentally and physically.

Without having to fully divulge personal reasons for seeing him, I can honestly state Mr. Sherwood is competent in his field. My son was having issues in school and home for years, I searched high and low in the SA area and could not find someone I would entrust my child's mentsl health care to. He was referred to me from a former patient of his. I was so impressed with his sessions with my son, that I had my daughter see him as well. We're have had great success with
