It was a dark day in my life when I finally admitted I couldn’t do it alone and that I needed help. I am very fortunate that I came across Daniel in my search for a therapist. He immediately responded to my inquiry, and he hasn’t stopped caring since. As I started meeting with Daniel, it didn’t take long for him to gain my complete trust. He seemed to quickly understand me as a person as well as what I was going through. I always felt safe with Daniel, which made it easy to talk about very personal things that I typically don’t share with others. He also helped me think out side of the box I was stuck in. And, because of the trust I had in him, he was able to stretch me to try new things, which helped to create the changes I needed in my life. Daniel has been there for me every step of the way, and I’m sending him anyone I come across who needs a therapist, as well as some who don’t.. I think everyone would benefit from working with Daniel.

I came to Geoff with two concerns: what do to about the anger management issues my youngest child had, and how to better control video game use in our family. The son who is most resistant to respecting authority became very comfortable with Geoff, even paying attention when Geoff explained research about the effect of video games. Geoff seems to be able to understand the world from a teen’s perspective, and has been able to help both my kids see themselves more objectively. I’m so appreciative for the changes: our interactions about chores and rules are so much more pleasant, and I’ve learned to set better, clearer limits. I’m grateful to have a place we can go to discuss our conflicts comfortably and experience progress towards the kind of family I want us to have.

Thanks, Daniel, we sincerely appreciate your help, which was instrumental in getting [our daughter] to come home with us. We put her into a really good [rehab] facility yesterday. She wanted to go because she knows she needs the help. We are praying that everything turns out well. She will be there for at least 30 days, maybe longer depending on how things go. After that, we will do everything in our power to keep her from returning to … the horrible environment which enabled many of her issues.

She’s a great young lady and we love her very much. We believe in angels, and we think that you… were sent to us in this time of need. Last weekend was unbelievably stressful, but couldn’t have ended better. Thanks again for what you did.

Daniel, I just wanted to say thank you for what you have done for myself, my husband, our marriage, and our family. You were a shining light and a beacon of hope during a very dark time for us. You provided us a safe place and wise counsel that allowed us to communicate freely and work through/solve issues that I highly doubt would have been possible without you. We have once again found the love, “spark”, joy and fun in our marriage. You have given us so many new tools and resources that I know will be of great value and use for years to come. Thank you for helping to get us back, I am forever grateful.

Geoff is very caring, understanding, insightful, spiritual, and has a lot of heart. He has helped us see positives and let go of negatives and come up with solutions to challenges. He is very career oriented and is dedicated to higher learning, and can be helpful for many people from all walks of life. We are grateful for his service. He has had a great impact on our lives and we would highly recommend him to others. Thank you Geoff

My 13yr old was having a lot of issues coping in school and at home. ADD behaviors and attention seeking in negative ways were causing a number of problems including suspensions, being kicked out of school, running away, etc. Our family also had damage from a divorce 4 year prior. We met Geoff Nugent at counseling meeting at the junior high school and my son and his Dad immediately made a connection – which had never happened with a counselor before. After we moved on from the school we sought out the counseling center to meet outside of a school setting. Over the last 2 years Geoff Nugent met with my son individually and also with my ex-husband and I to help us rebuild our relationships. My son just turned 15 and is doing so well in school and at home!! I didn’t think it was possible. The counseling center really helped me be a more effective parent and helped my son mature in making good choices and to build up his confidence. Even though we’re through the storm, we plan on regularly visiting the center. Having a positive adult role model that my son is comfortable confiding in and talking to about his life is priceless! I highly recommend this center.
