I had the opportunity to read your paper "Three
Decades in the Gay Community as a Straight Therapist" Journal
of Gay & Lesbian Social Services, Vol. 16, #2, Nov 2, 2004,
for my social work foundation class at East
Tennessee State University. I am so completely moved by you and your support of
the gay community, especially during a time in our history when homosexuality
was still considered a psychopathology and many gay therapists themselves were
unable to come out of the closet and openly advertise themselves as a safe
place for gays and lesbians to seek help. Your work with folks during the AIDS
crisis is also admirable, and as someone who lost a number of friends in the
mid 80's I can only imagine what that must have been like to facilitate support
groups for this population. I
subsequently found your website and have to say, I love the way you present
yourself with both warmth and strong boundaries, especially around the way you
set up your fee scale." 10/23/2012
