Great introduction session. Can’t wait to continue to grow with ED

I really appreciated how Ed helped me reframe my self-talk to be more compassionate. I felt I had a really strong advocate in my corner at a time I was dealing with challenging family dynamics. Our sessions felt like talks with a wise friend, including some laughs and plenty of space for having some big feelings. When I felt ready to push harder on my problems, I switched to a provider who uses a more concrete modality/ structure, but Ed was an excellent person to give me momentum at the start.

First session was great. I think I'll really respond to the philosophy Dr. Bonner described.
Existential-humanistic psychology provides a theoretical framework within which I employ a variety of methodologies based on the unique characteristics of my individual clients.
I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and modify the inner dialog that contributes to emotional distress, problematic behaviors, and undesirable outcomes.
Transpersonal psychology informs my approach to the importance of spirituality (religious and nonreligious) for optimal functioing.
