“Soo has really helped me with my relationship with my wife and he has also helped me be a better father to my son. He is a great listener and gives me great advice. If I didn’t do this counseling with him, who knows where my marriage will be. All I can say is that my bond with my wife has never been this strong and each day I appreciate what I have and love my son even more. We are so proud and appreciate what life has given us. I still have some work to do, but I am in such a better place now because of Soo.”
