Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Scott Shepherd. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Faithful Counseling might be different.
This is my first experience ever with a therapist and Scott has been very understanding and helpful with working through things. I strongly recommend him to anyone else seeking therapy.
Scott has been awesome and we really appreciate him! Great coach, insight, wisdom. Kind man. Thank you, Scott!
