Testimonials

Our Patient Says

“Dr. Porter got me through the biggest crises of my life regarding my marriage. She is teaching my husband and I how to navigate through our issues with a plan. It was no accident I found Dr. Porter through all the counselors I interviewed and had already been to, she’s so much more than a “therapist” she’s truly a gifted person. Through her knowledge and expertise Dr. Porter has been able to get into my head and help me pick myself up off the floor and be happy again and for that I will always love her and recommend her to everyone I talk to, she’s a big part of my life now and forever. Dr. Porter has also been instrumental in helping us deal with difficult family members and teaching us how to be guilt free.”

“Words cannot express the gratitude that I have for Dr. Porter. I became a patient of hers 8 years ago during a divorce where she not only helped me find a voice that had been dormant for many, many years but also guided me through the pain and insecurity that accompanied such a life changing event.I immediately felt comfortable sharing my deepest thoughts and fears with Dr. Porter and consider her as one the most essential members of the “team” (along with my family and friends) that have pulled me to a place of happiness and healing.She is kind, gentle, caring and empathic. I highly recommend Dr. Porter if you are looking for a reliable counselor.”

Female, Individual Therapy

“Dr. Porter is the best of the best, a therapist whom we highly recommend to anyone in need of professional support. She is extremely knowledgeable, and able to refer to research and best practices on a full range of topics that surface during therapy sessions. She also makes herself accessible to her clients regardless of the day or time that the need for her support arises. In addition to her excellent professional skills, the quality that makes Dr. Porter stand above other therapists is the genuine care she shows her clients.”

“Dr. Porter is truly a God-send. She has helped me gain more focus and perspective on what is truly important. I am learning to find value in the small things and to take time for me. I'm living in a new world of "I CAN". #cantdoesnotlivehereanymore”

Female, Individual Therapy

“Very skeptical and reluctant husband, previous beneficiary of ‘Couples Therapy’ from a lessor mentor; revived, revitalized, rejuvenated, and re-embodied by Dr. Ronda Porter in 2018! Truly surprised but more importantly, successfully guided and steered back to a relationship even more robust than when we met. I highly recommend Dr. Porter to any couple that peruses this testimonial.”

“Dr. Porter is very knowledgeable and personable. She helps to identify a problem quickly and offers manageable and realistic solutions. She cares about your situation and makes sure you are comfortable with her suggestions before moving on. The sessions with her go entirely too fast because we have so much to discuss!”

Female, Individual Therapy

“I approached Dr. Porter in a desperate need of self help and marriage counseling. My wife and I were going through a difficult time. Dr. Porter’s compassion and willingness to listen made me feel very comfortable to open up and speak without any hesitations. She is a very soothing person to speak with. She helped me by reading though my words to help me express my feelings. The thoughts and ideas that she saw and then placed into a different approach made my wife and I see our life in a different more positive way. We understand each other a little better now and are still working to better our relationship. As for me, individually, she has helped me see new career paths, helped me understand the importance of my time and gave me a refreshing new outlook on my future. After trying a few different doctors of psychology, choosing Dr. Porter was the best decision that I have made. I would recommend her to the people I love the most.”

These were very difficult issues to face and Dr. Porter’s advice and support have been indispensable in dealing with them. The timely advice and ideas that have been presented to me during this time have been ‘right on.’ I am very happy and honored to recommend Dr. Porter to anyone desiring help negotiating life’s challenges.”

“My husband and I had gone down the wrong path when we sought out Dr. Porter. She put us back on track, gave us useful communication tools, and helped us to identify habits that were damaging our marriage. We are in great shape now and are forever grateful!”

Couple, Marriage Counseling

“I have been a client of Ronda’s for many years and she has helped me through some very troubling times. I have to believe that she really cares about my issues because she remembers all the personal traumas from years ago that have shaped the decisions I make currently and she always analyzes problems together to help guide me for future issues I might have. I would feel lost if I didn’t have someone who really cares.”

Male, Individual Therapy

“I would recommend Dr. Porter to any individual or couple who are having a tough time getting along or who just would like to talk with a caring compassionate professional.Dr. Porter helped us to re-learn how to listen and value each other with a less judgmental approach. We are still not perfect, but did acquire some valuable tools with which to help.Will see her again if the need arises.”
