See what our patients are saying about Rick Ralston

I have met with Rick for a number of years. He was always listening and encouraging. Along with others he was a great helping me move on to the next stage in my life. I have a tendency to get over committed. Rick picked up on my strong faith and commitment to serve others. He helped me in setting boundaries and still serving others. He shared a great resouce with me "What Does God Have Say About REST?" He was and is a great therapist and counselor!!
