I wanted to let you know how valuable my experience with you and the other faculty and the students at Sex Therapy U has been for me. I have learned an enormous amount in a relatively short period of time and have completed the majority of the credits I need for certification. The classes have been packed with information and delivered with a high level of expertise. The faculty members 'enthusiasm, expertise and commitment to their work shone through. You are a strong leader and teacher, passionate about your mission and your work, and you have imparted a substantial amount of training with wisdom with unflagging enthusiasm and deep knowledge.
I am grateful for all you have given and look forward to a continuing connection and additional training in the years ahead.
