Dr. Paul Friday, PHD

I worked with Dr. Friday a couple of years ago and my time with him really saved me during a very difficult moment in my life. I had tried several therapists before Dr. Friday and none were a match - I appreciated Dr. Friday's nonjudgemental style, and his ability to provide perspective in a grounded, scientific, reasonable way - but he also helped me lean safely into emotional indulgences that allowed me to acknowledge feelings and move past them. I learned a really great foundation of skills from him that helped me navigate a marriage separation and tricky work situations, and eventually move into the next really healthy, formative phase of my life. We stayed in touch after treatment - I always felt like he remembered, made an effort, and cared greatly. I wish I could still check in once in a while if I hadn't moved from the area - so grateful for his support!

Dr. Friday ditched me after several years of seeing me, despite saying he’d be there no matter what. Nothing like leaving someone high and dry despite me reaching out for help. Maybe it’s just as well, as he truly never offered much advice other than listening. He will try to work with you but never really addresses issues. What may have been helpful is some suggestions about how to manage what I was experiencing. Caring enough but sometimes that failed to help me figure things out. A “woulda, coulda, shoulda” would have helped possibly lead me through the thicket.

Caring, trustworthy, compassionate, smart. Dr. Friday will listen to what you have to say and do his best to help you.
