Not pushy with opinions, and extremely helpful. Really calmed me down and helped me clear my thoughts and simmered my worries.
This person has saved me - I mean truly, and REALLY saved me. Helping me to understand that I am finally not the crazy one, and that I need to physically remove myself from my situation was what I needed to hear. Filled with resources and understood 1000% what I am going through, is a blessing; I can't thank them enough. Now, I can heal.

If you need a good advice go to Ray :)
Ray was able to assess my situation objectively from the perspective of someone with more life experience and knowledge of other's behaviour. His advice was really appreciated because I was filled with mixed emotions and doubts about my perception of experiences. I felt like my concerns were acknowledged and that he was honest about both my personal and interpersonal issues. I would strongly recommend chatting with him.
An excellent listener, objective thinker. Able to empathize with my circumstances and really understand me. Brought me some clarity and grounded me. Thank you.
Good Listener
