Hiram introduced another perspective that I never considered. It really opened my mind to release some unnecessary guilt.

My husband and I had our first session. It was a great session. Very informative. Im asking for my husband to have individual session with him and we still continue our couples therapy.

This was our first marriage therapy session ever, and I have to give Hiram an A+. I hadn’t told my husband we were coming for counseling, yet the therapist not only listened closely but clearly articulated our issues. From our interactions and body language, Hiram pinpointed where our communication and listening were breaking down. For that, I consider him an excellent therapist.
