After two years of dating the love of my life, I knew in my heart I was ready to take the next step—but he needed just a little more time. Instead of growing apart, we chose to grow together, and working with Eric was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. His approach—one session each on our own and two together every month—gave us space to be heard as individuals and grow even stronger as a couple.

Those weekly sessions opened our hearts in ways I’ll always be grateful for. We learned how to truly see one another—to listen, to understand, and to honor the needs and emotions we both carry. We became more accepting of who we are, and more thankful for everything the other brings to the relationship—the strengths, the flaws, and all the little things in between. It brought us closer with more clarity, compassion, and love.

Now, we’re engaged and planning our future together with more joy, trust, and unity than ever before. I’m so thankful for Eric and his wife Ruthann and their guidance through such a special time in our lives. We’ll continue working with them because we believe in pouring into our love—for now and for all the years to come.

Eric, thank you for writing the book, Trust and Believe!! I can honestly say it's life changing. For someone like me who is not the most avid reader I could not put the book down from start to finish. I have been referencing back to the book daily, always finding ways to implement the simple teachings in my daily life that make a huge positive impact. During my everyday conversations I find myself wanting to share your book with everyone. I believe that every person I know could benefit from several aspects of your book if not the entire thing! In addition, being blessed to have weekly meetings with you has helped me beyond measure. You allow me to recognize situations in a different perspective and overcome issues that hold me back from being my best self. I consider you a true friend and I am blessed to have you in my life. Thank you for helping me get back to the me I always knew existed deep down. Thank you for changing so many lives in the most positive manner. You are a true blessing to the world.

I have never in my 50 years of life even thought of writing a testimony,and especially on such a sensitive and private part of myself.

However here I sit at 50 years of age. My journey since 11 years old has taken me to more than I can count on my fingers of different professionals I have seen over the course of almost 40 years. I truly had given up on mental health professionals. However it is not the profession it’s the person. I could say that it’s the lords Devine intervention and his role in bringing me to meet the most important person I have come to know respect and appreciate.Mr Eric Straton you truly have blessed my life and in turn my family’s happiness as well.

Thank you for always listening. Thank you for being kind. Thank you for being compassionate. Thank you for caring so much. Words could never describe or feelings could ever express what you have given back to me. Your style and technique of our sessions have inspired and influenced many things in myself these last few months. I have bragged about you to anyone and everyone I can. You are God’s blessing to me. I have never trusted anyone in my life and I seem to just put it all in your hands and that’s extreme progress for me. Your one of a kind Sir.

Great therapists are fascinated by the variety of human experience and are eager to discover more about the individual sitting before them. Indeed some one like me is just as interested. People respond to genuine curiosity; they begin to feel comfortable, to share, and to trust. A second element of rapport is listening attentively.You indeed have it all. I am so greatfull to have been able to share my thoughts with you and can’t imagine not having you the reminder of my life. God broke the mold when he created you.

Thank you so much.

If it wasn’t for Eric, I don’t think I would have survived the trauma I went through without his care. This man is truly amazing when it comes to bringing your life back to ground zero and rebuilding it better than ever. Since the time spent with him and his lovely wife Ruth Anna, they have become friends for life! They will change your life.

Great people they do great work helping clients !

DeAnna D.

I have been working with Eric Straton for several months. I have been to counselors, (individual and marital)psychologist and psychiatrist. I feel like none of them had the skills to help me or really even cared to help me. I was just a number.
I was always doing talk therapy with no real set plan on how I was going to heal and get through the anxiety and depression that has been brought on through trauma.
Ruthanna, Eric’s wife, is one of my facebook friends. I had made a few posts about suffering with anxiety and depression. Ruthanna contacted me, a few times, telling me to contact Eric, she thought he could help. Honestly, I was resistant. I did not like to talk on the phone and I felt I was a hopeless case. I appreciate Ruthanna’s persistence.
Eric is wise, understanding and genuinely cares about people. His sense of humor helps me feel at ease during our sessions. There is no judgement from Eric instead he just understands.
He has helped me to understand my anxiety and control my panic attacks!
If you need help please give Eric a try!

"Eric, you are a true pioneer in the industry of positive thinking and personal self development"

Mark & Donna V.

"Eric is definitely the real deal. We came to him to find better ways to communicate, get along and just be civil to each other. We were on the verge of divorce and arguing every single day. Nearly one year later, we communicate, listen and speak kindly to one another. He gave us the tools to be more attentive to the other persons thoughts, feelings and held us accountable for what we said and did. He gave us the tools necessary to be successful as a married couple. It was without a doubt hard work, but we continue to strive for what we had in the beginning of our relationship. It is like night and day where we have come from. If you listen and put in the work, Eric is without a doubt the best in the business. We highly recommend him if you are dealing with issues that you can't get past."

My marrage of 20 plus years was a complete mess. My wife and I had separated and in the process of getting a divorce. As a result my personal life was falling apart as well. I began to seek help with Eric and found him to be a great listener, as well as being completely non-judgemental. He helped me realize how much I still loved my wife. He armed us with what we needed to get past our difficulties, and rebuild the spark we once had. We have since reunited and even renewed our wedding vows. Thanks for helping us get our life back!
