“I highly recommend Dr. Gordon for his clinical, professional and biblical guidance he has provided in my life. He has truly shown and spotlighted the areas in my life that need work and improvement and I couldn’t be more thankful for his work!”

“Very respectable therapist. Shares how he has experienced any similar issues or struggles that he has dealt with and how he has overcome them. Highly recommend his expertise to others!”

“Dr Gordon listens and gives me and us tools to use and homework to continue the work outside of sessions. He gives great advice too. I loved the "you cant control what comes in your mind but you can control what STAYS on your mind." I know its simple but it was a real Ah ha moment for me personally. My husband loves him. Idk if its the way men talk to each other but stuff is sticking cuz the way Dr G talks to him.”

“Really enjoy the sessions with him”

“Dr. Gordon fosters a safe environment for me to freely express myself without judgement. Even when he's objective and encouraging me to analyze different perspectives, I never feel as though he doesn't have my best interest in mind. Dr. Gordon's warm personality and psychological knowledge makes talking to him feel like the home-boy who happens to be a therapist. I'm very appreciative of how much he's helped me grow and how he's help me navigate some tough moments in the 15 months he's been counseling me. Plus, he offers spiritual guidance, which was imperative in my search for the right therapist.”

“Dr. Gordon is amazing”

“I think even Merriam Webster fails in providing accurate diction to describe my experience with Dr. Gordon. During these past 9 months, he has challenged my comfort zone and encouraged me to broaden my perspectives. If you declare a desire for change, you must be ready to do the work required to grow. Dr. Gordon has a meticulously subtle way of challenging your thoughts without judgement or shame. Between sessions, he checks in to see how I'm doing. Our sessions feel less like therapy and more like casual conversation, which helps me process our discussions.”

“Dr. Gordon has been a Godsend! There isn’t any words to describe how happy I am with him as my therapist! Highly recommend him for anyone struggling with an identity crisis and anger issues.”

“Dr. Gordon is extremely qualified, respectful, responsive, and supportive. He has helped me with a variety of concerns.”

“Talking to Dr. Gordon feels like I'm talking to a licensed friend. I'm not afraid to be vulnerable. Sometimes I roll my eyes, but that's when I know he's helping me overcome my habits. My healing process isn't always beautiful, and having a therapist with unbiased solutions is invaluable. Dr. Gordon is one of the best!”

“Exception people skills!”

“The definition of a therapist!!”

“Mike has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he willing shares to my benefit. He’s always on hand to listen and support. My self-awareness has increased significantly since he’s been walking with me and I’m healing and growing at a steady pace. Connecting with Mike has been such a blessing. Best investment of my life.”

“Always there for me at right times, doesn’t take long to reply and also helps me maintain my moods and mindset”

“Only been working with Doc for a few sessions but I have enjoyed every one. I always ask myself after every session: what's the one thing I took away from this session, and I always am able to respond to this.”
