What Others Have to Say

The idea of counseling/coaching is for them to listen in order to help you. Phil takes his position very seriously. I believe he heard every word I said, to know what should or could be done next.

Brian F.

I've known Phil for many years and have seen him come along side many people, my husband included, helping them find restoration and peace through the trials of life. For myself and my family, I humbly say thank you Higher Appeal Counseling & Coaching!

Debbie W.

Phil is amazing. Wise, wise, wise. He has helped me find life in the depth of my grief. How he has helped me grow spiritually can't be put into words. Highly, highly recommend him as someone everyone needs to talk to about anything.

Simon D.

Phil has a soul bigger than the Earth. He can connect with people in an intimate yet professional way, giving his advice and counsel in away that is just right.  Thanks for being there.

Homero N.

I have had opportunities to interact with Phil both personally and professionally. In each case I find him to be someone of great wisdom and perspective. He has great skill in being able to look into the heart of a matter quickly, speaking to issues that are often difficult with an even and balanced hand. This has my trust and as such, my recommendation.

Phillip U.

I was counseled on a relationship conflict. I felt understood and received honest feedback. Extremely satisfied.

Cecil J.

We came to Phil for premarital counseling, and he did a wonderful job. We held our sessions over Skype and everything ran very smoothly, even in a different time zone!

Lisa L.

Phil is strong professional with years of counseling experience. He lead my wife and I through counseling and it brought us closer together with a better understanding of each other. Communication lessons were so important. Great counselor. I would HIGHLY recommend Him.

Josh S.

Counselor is very caring and compassionate. Immediately felt safe when sharing difficult thoughts and feelings. Guidance was very helpful since the start. Counselor provided education and feedback about the nature and possible causes of my struggles. Best care experienced so far.
