Answers Questions
Explains condition(s) well and Provides Time Well Spent
Phillip was the most professional therapist I have ever had. I saw him for a few months for PTSD and he was very humorous and non judgmental.
The use of his EDMR therapy worked wonders and something that had been bothering me for years had gone away in only a few sessions. I was never able to find a single thing that I didn’t like about his therapy style and his entire practice as a whole.
He is the absolute best and professional! I wanted to get on top of my anxiety and quit meds and with Phillip’s help, I did! He is the best and I’ve had several safe places for talks!
Phillip is among the best therapists in the Chambersburg area. He truly cares about his clients and has a very calm and nonjudgemental demeanor that puts you at ease from the first moment you meet with him. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and helps to guide you in the direction that best suits your therapeutic goals. It is for all of these reasons that I highly recommend Phillip. Therapists like this are not easy to find and Phillip is truly a leader in his field.
He uses analogies to help me understand my depression. He gave me the tools to help me help myself and wanted my family doctor involved to get me much needed medication. I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. I have my life back!!!!
