I have been coming to Cove Counseling for a few years now, and every time...every time, I am treated respectfully and compassionately. Jim Fry is a tremendously clear vessel for the Lord, and because he is such, He imparts wisdom into Jim in His perfect timing. I have been witness to this many times. We all need God, and when you have made mistakes, as I have, that cause the need for therapy and counseling, then you need Jim and his team. God bless Cove Counseling, and all who read this. In Jesus' name, amen.

I can't say enough good things about Jim Fry (Owner & Counselor) & Tom Moore (Counselor). Tom was extremely compassionate, a wonderful listener and not only helped us get to the root of known issues but also helped us discover things we weren't even aware of. The tools he provided worked and the books he recommended were a God send. We have since referred numerous people here who are dealing with marital issues, anxiety, depression, co-dependency and emotional dysfunction etc. I HIGHLY recommend Cove Counseling and will continue to refer friends and family here!

In the spring of 2018, my partner and I were having relationship issues so we decided we needed couples counseling. A google search pulled up Cove Counseling. We started seeing Daria. I requested religion not be brought up because I am atheist. She agreed. After several sessions, I had a minor breakthrough. After quickly describing that breakthrough, Daria pounced. She point-blank told me that any “improvement” I thought I was making was invalid because, “without (her) god, I cannot improve myself.” Her lack of professionalism put me in to a deeper depression and a distrust in mental healthcare
