Still Waters Counseling
Reviews
Being that I am one of those types of men who have always said things like "I don't need to talk to anyone about things" or had believed (and would often go out of his way to try and prove) that he was smarter than any health professional (especially mental health professionals), I hope my review of Still Waters' staff will carry a little extra weight. I don't think that I can say enough good things about Still Waters to truly express how I feel. We (myself and my daughter) have been involved with Still Waters (specifically, Dr Smita Nagpal and Dr Brian Pearson), for several years. Originally we sought counseling, mostly, for dealing with issues and struggles that come with divorce, remarriage and being a new "blended family" We had interviewed several counselors, I felt most were either charlatans or quacks. Slightly put out by our failures we tried "one last place". We actually found Still Waters in the phone book. Lucky us! I never dreamed that I/we would get so much out of any relationship personal or professional. So, without going into too much detail... I (YES ME!!!) felt immediately comfortable with Dr Pearson and quickly I began to trust him, (me saying I trust someone is rare and HUGE). Brian is well educated, I'll call him a well educated common man (that being more of a statement of his style). He comes with no pretense, arrogance or preconceived thoughts, I feel that my relationship with Brian continues to develop as I evolve. Better than just being educated though, he knows how to use what he knows... My daughter has seen Dr. Smita Nagpal for a while. I can't speak for my daughter, but I am sure she would tell you there is no doubt that Smita has made a big difference in her life. I can say she was always eager to see Smita, often asking to schedule appointments early just so she could talk to her. My daughter is now 11. Smita (also extraordinarily well educated and knows her stuff) quickly earned my trust (see relative comment above) and my respect. During the years my daughter has seen Smita I also have benefited greatly from the relationship with Dr Nagpal, both, as a man and as a parent. The problem with writing a review like this is that there is so much you don't get to say, I wish I could write more, but then if the review gets too long no one would read it would they...
