- David Mars, MFT,
San Francisco, CA.

I've been in Ron's AEDP core training group for two years, and Ron is an excellent teacher. He's practiced at the artful skill of letting me know that he recognizes my competence, even as he helps me to see where I can improve. He provides a safe and secure group experience where I am able to be vulnerable enough to have a transformational learning experience,"

- Candyce Ossefort-Russell, MA, LPC,
Austin, TX.

"Ron's AEDP core training group in San Francisco is an amazing experience. So amazing, in fact, that I fly from New York City five times a year to attend! Ron is a courageous person and teacher. He’s not afraid to jump into an emotional situation, roll up his sleeves, stay present and process whatever comes up to completion. He pays attention to all the group members seemingly effortlessly and without fussing. There is something about Ron's teaching style and work that has reached into my bones and self in a visceral way. My work with my patients has expanded and deepened. Both personally and professionally, I have changed enormously."
