Sometimes life throws you a curve ball in the form of a health problem you never expected.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

“I have been seeing Dr. Wise since the beginning of 2020. I have battled anxiety and depression most for many years along with having a very low opinion of myself. When I found Dr. Wise, I was in the middle of a difficult divorce, battling cancer, having a toxic relationship with my biological family and finding life a challenge in general. I am not new to working with a psychologist and Dr. Wise is the first psychologist who has helped me walk though all of these challenges with patience, compassion and positive results. Dr. Wise has worked with me to find a place of self-worth and calm that I have never known. He has allowed me to explore the issues I face with a sense of strength and personal value.

I walked in to his office thinking I was a broken man. In our year of working together (so far), I am realizing I am not the man I believed I was. I still have work to do. However, I know I am working to become the best version of myself possible, someone I have never known.

If you feel the need to talk with someone to help you with whatever challenge you are facing, you can feel confident in Dr. Wise. He is someone who will listen and work with you displaying honesty, integrity and kindness.”
