He not only listens to what I say, but can read me and know what it is I'm not saying. It's hard for me to be open with anyone but he is never judgmental when I finally say what's bothering me. He gives me hope that I can be more "normal" but lets me know that I'm okay the way I am and I just process life a little differently than some folks. I would clone him so all the people who need a good therapist could have one.
