Adult Testimonials

Hello Dr. Shaffer,

It is amazing how quickly time passes. I just wanted to take a moment and sincerely thank you for everything you have done for me - but also my family. You have had a significant, positive, life long impact on me. I will work to maintain and continue to implement all of your insights into my values, goals and daily decisions. You have helped me become a better person, spouse and father.

I'm sure that you can probably see with better objectivity than I - the span of where I arrived at your door to where I am now. From darkness and rage to light and laughter. I really appreciate in my darkest days the strength and positive encouragement that you extended to me - even though I was interrupting your life at the time.

We never had a moment to discuss what or when our relationship would come to a close, or become less frequent -and how that should occur - but I wanted to let you know that as we stepped away, it wasn't without a great deal of thought and reflection.

Thank you again for giving me a more balanced, positive, happy life.  I couldn't be here, in this moment, without you and you will always be with me and not far from my thoughts.   I look forward to when our paths cross again in the future.  If there is anything I can ever do for you, do not hesitate to ask.

Your friend,

Marion

Dear Dr. Shaffer (Dr. Steve),

I wanted to take a minute to send you a thank you message. The time that Gene and I spent together at Cure Counseling made a world of difference for our marriage, as well as, our relationship with our children.

Our 16 years of marriage was at its end, when we met first met you almost two years ago. We couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel; you were our last attempt to make things work. To be truthful, I don’t really know that our hearts wanted to make anything work at first. It was more for show (to say that we made an attempt). But, through our late night counseling sessions (with you and Shaunda) our family was able to find the love and respect that we’d lost. We found the light.

We learned things about each other that we never knew. We learned how to communicate with each other, enjoy being alone together, and most of all trust each other. The time that we spent with you “IS PRICELESS”. The reassurance, respect, and understanding that you show and share are definitely life lessons that can be carried on for a lifetime.

I think of all of you at CURE Counseling quite often. I will never forget how my life changed when I met you. I wish you the best of luck in the future. Oh, and you can share this with your future clients if you want to.

Sincerely,

Kim Smith

P.S. Gene and I have our date night on Thursday now, maybe we will run into you and Sandy one night.
