I had a great session with Reuben. As this was my first time doing a couples counseling, he did an amazing job. The first 15 minute session, he was right away able to determine the problem and how the situation can be fixed. The second session, he educated me a lot about issues in my relationship that I did not even know existed. It was so rewarding to have him give me advices and ways I am able implement to fix my relationship. If I may need more assistance to better my relationship, I will definitely go back to him and recommend him to anyone that may have issue in their relationship. Thank you so much Reuben!

Mr. Reuben is very attentive, he listens and knows how to connect with you as a person. The way he breaks things down, helps you to better understand what it is that you are going through and gives a solution that will help you get on the right track to conquer your problem head-on.

For the few weeks we got to talk to him he’s outstanding. My husband and I feel we benefited very much from his sessions. If it weren’t for so much change happening at once we would’ve been able to get him. He’s a great addition

Reuben has been responsive to Isaiah and Joshua during the past through years of their life. The young men relate to him because he is both professional, but revelant to where they are in life. We love Reuben and hope the best for him and his career!

Ruben and I worked together at a time of a lot of loss in my life. I was having a hard time motivating myself to take small actions to move through my grief. Ruben never gave me the sense that I needed to do anything in particular to please him, and yet I found him to be completely present with everything I was going through, and also willing to honestly say what he was seeing. That presence and honesty was exactly the light I needed to be able to see more clearly the next steps that were before me. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in finding a deeper sense of meaning and getting closer to their true purpose in life.We love Reuben and hope the best for him and his career!
