Currently he works with them every other  month  and sees  a  total  of  about  fifteen patients each time. Most of  these patients are seen by  me weekly for individual therapy and weekly or twice weekly for group therapy. While Ron has been working with my patients their enthusiasm has grown for more bodywork resulting in six visits per year rather than four per  year at the  beginning of his  work with my practice. Since there are only fifteen openings available, we usually have a waiting list. Also, therapists that l supervise have requested any available openings in his schedule.

Patients are often responsive to his intuitive sensitivity, and persistence towards comprehending their experience. He notes the nuanced aspects of movement, voice, posture to discern aspects of experience and can steadily approach the patient with such insights in a way that is unique amongst therapists with whom I have worked. They are willing to interact with Ron through body-work whether in the immediacy of a  group  situation, or a longer term several hour bodywork session.

Knowing this first hand from my personal experience has led me to refer a number of my regular patients to a colleague of mine, Ron Hook, LCSW, formally trained in therapy related bodywork, as an adjunct to their ongoing treatment with me. The results have been positively demonstrated by significant steps forward in their work with me in ways that words alone did not achieve.

Ron has additionally worked for many years along side my practice of combined individual and group psychotherapy providing my patients opportunity for direct bodywork that focuses on body armoring. Reliably he has applied exquisite sensitivity and abundant creativity in helping patients take further steps out of life-long patterns.
