"Dr. Colt - Hi, I
just wanted to say thank you for our counseling session last night.
I think you did a great job, and I feel like you can really help me.
I was definitely tense and nervous, as I've never done this before, but I
want you to know that I do feel like I can trust you, and that I think
that I can become very comfortable with you. You were right when you
said that it would be hard, but I know that it won't get better without
going through the hard stuff first. I look forward to our next
session.... Thanks again." -- S.K.
"In
the two years I have known Dr. Colt, a hallmark of his dealings with both
clients and colleagues has been his uncompromising dedication to fairness
and ethical behavior. Dr. Colt is extremely effective at
illuminating those personal and professional issues critical to his
clients, and assisting them to better understand their strengths, their
challenges, and how to reconcile the two. I have personally
benefited from his unselfish offers of assistance" -- R.F.
