Ronnie Dann-Honor, LMFT

I worked part-time for 10 years while I earned my masters degree in Psychology Counseling with a focus on Gerontology. I enjoy being productive. I have ran 5 marathons in California and in Washington, D.C. I love and enjoy all kinds of people and activities. Blessed and grateful.

Bruce Gurganus, LMFT

Therapy

Over four decades of experience working in the mental health field, I have found that with empathic professional help most therapy clients find solutions to their issues within themselves. Problems occur when a person gets stuck with thoughts or feelings that are uncomfortable or unpleasant. It can be hard to find another way of being without a compassionate and wise guide. That's how I see my role as your therapist. By listening carefully and reflecting back, I think I can help you find the resources that are already within you to discover creative and healthy ways of responding to your present situation.
