“Tom has been very understanding and helpful. Thank you!”

“I've sat across from Tom through some of the darkest stretches of my life — divorce, my kids, my health, all the stuff you hope you never have to face alone. No matter how much I brought into that room, he handled it with patience and care. He never made me feel judged, just heard.<br /> Tom, if you're reading this — you know who wrote it. Thank you for everything. I'll be back. Take good care of yourself in the meantime, because you matter too.”

“He allows us to work out our feelings and listen to each other without judgment which is a good start. It’s good to burn the negative PTSD safety trauma experiences and move on to rebuild the bond that drew you to your partner.”

“Tom is empathetic and perceptive in rooting out some underlying issues that were causing my anxiety. We are still working on my day-to-day issues but great progress is being made. I have expectations of an ultimate breakthrough and we're already knocking at the door, which in and of itself is a great relief to me.”

“Thomas Stewart was very friendly and helped make my husband and I feel comfortable to help us open are communication when we were both feeling stuck”

“Very professional. Very knowledgeable. And great for explaining the whys. And steps to take to improve my issues. I highly recommend him”

“I struggled a lot with therapy due to my tracheostomy making my voice hard to understand and mobility issues and my inability to go out getting in the way of in person visits. Thomas has found creative ways around navigating our sessions and in turn has made therapy more accessible to me. He also is very honest never pretending to know more than he does while supporting me through very hard aspects of my medically complex life and the past trauma I have that's pretty deep. I truly appreciate our sessions and I feel like I'm able to be open without judgement knowing I won't get any bs answers to fill in the blanks. I appreciate people who are real about things honest and truly care about your experiences. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who is going to be upfront real and not push things that would not be effective for your situation just to have an answer for you .”

“Wonderful”

“He is worth it <br /> I’ll feel peace after sharing my feelings to him”

“Tom has been nothing but outstanding since the very first day. He has a fantastic resume and proves it with results. He has been a great resource of knowledge and information. Oh and he has great stories to!”

“Tom is great. He is fair, neutral, and able to handle a variety of challenges.”

“One of the most thoughtful, engaged, experienced and action oriented therapists I’ve had the chance to work with for years. Couldn’t be more grateful to have the chance to work with Thomas”

“Thank you”

“I always am eager to meet with Tom. It's just a great time to unload, laugh, and prepare for what's next in front of me. He's always encouraging and I always feel better at the end of our time. Thanks Tom! You da man!”
