“I interviewed four different therapist and chose Dr. Wood based on this extensive expertise and knowledge. I am glad I did because Dr. Wood is a seasoned therapist that has helped me improving my communication skills and avoiding disaster in dealing with kids, friends, and coworker. Maybe this is not for everyone, but before my appointments, I often listen to communication skills audiobooks (during my commute), then discuss what I have learned with Dr. Wood and act out specific examples. If you are open minded to try this as well, I suggest asking Dr. Wood for book recommendations. I found that this is the best way to transform passive knowledge into active communication skills. When I do not have enough time to prepare in this way, we discuss past events or possible future or reoccurring events. I found no matter how the time is spent, my meetings with Dr. Wood are worth every minute and penny.” – Thomas – Jan 27, 2020
