On Dr. Hamilton as a therapist:

• I think that you are really good at what you do. I really appreciate your help, and advice that you gave us over a period of 3 years. I will definitely keep in touch with you...Thanks again!

• Hey Paul, I'm not sure if you would remember me or not, you treated me for a couple of years ending about 3 years ago...I wanted to thank you for what you did for me....I wanted to thank you for bringing out things....that many former therapists had not....Long story short, you say it to people straight and I know that's what people love about you. You were in my life for a reason at the time you were...and I want to thank you for that. You were the first one who challenged me and therefore I am able to get help... Congratulations on building your practice like you have.....Sorry for the long e-mail, but I was reading the newsletter and felt I needed to tell you what an effect you had on my life. So again, thank you...

• Paul, Thank you for ALL that you have done to help me, words can never express my appreciation for your support and encouragement even when I didn’t believe there was hope, and there you were cheering me on... You are wonderful! Thank you again for hanging in there with me through this craziness I call my life. Have a great Christmas with your beautiful family, and may God bless you!"

• Hi Paul! I again wanted to extend a heartfelt and humble thank you from an extremely grateful man. (My son) came to you many years ago as a confused and troubled teen....he will (now) achieve his dream. A dream I can say was unreachable in my opinion without your guidance with him and myself. Thank you Dr. Hamilton for a job well done.

• Dr. Hamilton I hope you know that even though I am not able to continue seeing you, I think of you often and try to remember all you taught me. I will be forever grateful to you for the impact you have had and still have on my life and my (kids). I honestly believe I would not be here today if it were not for you.

• Many people.....asked him if he had a good therapist and he only had good things to say about you. Told one person he finally, after many (therapists), found a good match and how much he liked you, so thanks again for working with him.....

• I am not trying to schmooze you....but you are doing well with us....building relationship. (My husband) is really talking..... Thank You.

• Thank you, very much, Dr. Hamilton...You come highly recommended. I've done my homework, and I am very blessed to know a good number of people that are in the counseling field. You have a good reputation.

• Dr. H, Thank you so much for your help over the years. I am enjoying life to the fullest. A huge part of my mental health success goes to you.... Just feel the need to sincerely thank you for your guidance and caring demeanor during my time of need. You are often in my thoughts.

• Paul, Thanks.
  I know I would not have made it this past year if it hadn't been for your help. Our situation makes my head spin, and you have been a calming logical voice through it all. You've given me positive things to focus on and I appreciate it.
  I'm not sure how things are going to end up....but I am in a much better place than I was. I feel stronger than I have in a long time and am actually excited about the future. Many of the questions I struggled with have been answered and I feel much more at peace.

• Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me to see the path and that all along I have had the compass and did not realize it:)

• "Dear Paul, Well it has been a long time since I have touched base and I just wanted to give you an update... I am doing really well and am probably the happiest I have been in decades. Thank you Paul. I appreciate your support during the darkest moments of my life. The decisions were the right ones... I have a renewed sense of hopefulness in my world. For as crazy as my....life can be, I can honestly say that I am personally happy. Thank you again.""

• Paul...the referral is the least I can do for everything you have done for me....words really don’t describe how far I’ve come with your help.

• Paul, I have you to thank for helping me...That is why I recommend you so often ­ you really made a difference in my life.....

• Hello Paul, Thank you for meeting with us today....We wanted you to know we really enjoyed meeting with you and like your style....Again thank you for everything.

• I know this is your job and all, but that doesn't take away from how wonderful you've been. I'm positive you've gone above and beyond what you're expected to do. I truly see you as a hero. Not only to me, but to so many others. Who knows where I'd be right now had you not been caring for me. And really caring. There really needs to be more Dr. Hamiltons in the world, but I am lucky I found you.

• Appreciate Paul's down-to-earth, say-it-like-it-is approach. Highly recommended.

• Paul, wanted to drop you a line that things couldn't be better in my world... Always appreciated your involvement and feedback into my chaos from a few years ago.

• Paul...Thank you for all of your guidance and understanding.

• Paul, I've referred you to a friend...I've spread the word about how much I like coming to you...and word spread.

• My care at Clinical Psychology Associates is excellent. Dr. Paul Hamilton has helped me greatly every session. He has been wonderful in helping me work out problems with his timely advice and concern.

• Paul...thanks for helping me sort out some of my innermost feelings. You really did help me get in touch with myself.

• You have brought out so many other things in me that I didn't even know... Thank you for being there for me this past year. I know I can count on you to get me through this as you have everything else. Thanks Doc.

• Paul, I've been thinking a lot about it, and I realized that no one, including my family, has ever stood up for me ....I can't tell you how much that means to me. You are very much appreciated!

• I'm really glad that I'm alive right now. So…thanks. That's a pretty big accomplishment on it's own. And it's all you.

• I'm so greatful for you Paul. Thank you for reading my emails and listening to my thoughts.

• Paul, you're wonderful. I am so encouraged...Thank you again for your kindness and help.

• Hi Paul. Just wanted to say thanks for getting (my son) an appointment so quickly. He says you are cool and that he will go back to see you again, willingly! Yeah! He seems positive about having you help him, so that makes me feel like this was definitely a good choice.

• Thank you once again, Paul. You help me more than you know.

• Without your evaluation, I would have surely lost my daughters. So I cannot thank you enough, Paul. You gave me a new chance at life, and you practically gave me my children back!

• Thanks, you are a life saver!! literally!

• I have known for years that I would need to see a male therapist, and Paul Hamilton is the right guy.

• You are seriously everything I've ever wanted in a doctor.

• I've never known a better doctor.

• Dr. Hamilton,
  I just wanted to drop you a line and say THANKS! Since I met with you...I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I owe it all to you....I once again have hope that my anxiety is a part of my past rather than my future. I am so looking forward to my new life when I am through with all this. Thanks again for...truly giving me hope!

• You are one of only two or three psychologists that I trust in the area.

• There's absolutely no way I can put into words how grateful I am that you've been around. I probably wouldn't have made it through last night...except for you being there.

• I want to thank you for being a genuine, caring person as well as a great therapist. I feel so much more hopeful about my future knowing I can be fully honest with you and by extension, with myself.

• Thank you again, Paul. You are truly made for your profession and I'm grateful you're my "doc".

• Thank you for helping me learn to be selective, have self respect enough to know that my preferences count and my time on this earth is valuable and to be used to best advantage.

• Paul...Thank you so much for always being there for us.

• Finally, I want to thank you for all the help you gave me. You made me open my mind and my eyes. I really see the world in a different light now. Thanks again.

• It truly does help to know I'm in this with someone. Thank you for being you, someone I can trust and respect and know sincerely cares about his patients.

• You were the one that aided in my full recovery.

• Celebrate the fact that you make a positive difference in your patients' lives.

• Paul, I just want to sincerely thank you for everything that you have done for me over the years. I know it is your job, but really, you have made my life so much better and I honestly don't know if I would be alive if I wouldn't have found you. Thank you.

• Did I ever say thank you for being there for me through all this? I don't care if it's your job, I think you're an exceptional person and I think I lucked out to have you as a therapist. God sent me a very decent person and I appreciate it more than you know.

• I feel much calmer and more peaceful for some reason. You have that effect on me, young man! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

• It is a Godsend to have you taking care of my son.
