January 21, 2019 Rhonna, “You’ve played such an important role in my life in helping me become the person that I am. I’m so very grateful that you came into my life when you did and made the impact that you made. I find myself thinking about what my life has been and what it could have been and can see the positive changes that I’ve been able to make. Sometimes, it’s still hard. There’s still plenty to work through. But I think back to all the inspiration, guidance, hope and tools you have given me and it lifts my spirits enough that I know I can make it through anything… I do want you to know that you’re appreciated and thought of often. Thank you for all you’ve done and all you do.” Excerpt from a letter CPCD |

July 13, 2016 “During the first appt she asked a lot of questions I never would have thought of which was pretty cool. She got a lot of information without sounding demanding or demeaning. Rhonna was the first person in a long time who heard and understood my needs. She called me out respectfully when I needed it and comforted me when I needed that also. I benefitted more from her therapy than any other therapist I had seen. She spoke to me on my level, laughed and made me feel very comfortable in sharing things that I would not have shared with another person. Because I knew she was genuine and caring I was willing to join her Sexual Abuse Group. There she helped me overcome so much. She is such an amazing person and therapist.” S.J.M. |

July 23, 2012 I came to see Rhonna right after I got separated from my now ex-wife. We started our sessions shortly before the divorce was final. That period of time was the single hardest time of my entire life. I'd never been through something as personally demoralizing as a divorce. Things looked grim, my days were darkened and I saw no light at the end of any tunnel, in any direction. Rhonna provided me with a light. She provided me with guidance and support. She did it with patience, understanding, humor and - when it called for it - a little butt kicking. She saw me through the worst of the end of my almost 8 year marriage. She helped me understand not why it happened (I had a good idea as to why my wife no longer loved me) but how I could make it through the seemingly barren landscape that my world appeared to be. She showed me that I have worth, to my self and to other people. She showed me that I still have love and a life to share with others, be they friends or lovers. She was there for me for the scant few attempts at dating as I started to get my feet under me again. She held my hand as I walked through that barren landscape, as I saw the world begin to take shape around me once more. She stayed with me until one day, I looked down and realized she wasn't holding my hand...that I was able to walk and function on my own. If it hadn't been for my sessions with Rhonna, I wouldn't have made it across that landscape a better, more whole and healthy person. If asked, she'd point at me and say that I was responsible for my recovery and current state of happiness. And yes, I'll admit that I had to do my share. But Rhonna got me there. She showed me the way. She showed me how to be a happy person again; how to trust again. Another testimonial hit it right on the nose: you are a better person for having known her. That statement can't be more accurate. I can't thank her enough. Jonathan D. |

July 12, 2012 Rhonna was very easy to talk with and honest with me. After telling her I was ok with it, cause its how I talk, she even went as far as to swear a little. I am more comfortable around a person who swears cause I don't feel as if they are better than me. I was able to work through some "mommy left me" issues, which has been helpful in my current life. I will return to Birmingham and resume my counseling with her, as I know it was helping. (Currently I’m away for work). Upon more personal counseling I will include my wife and family. The help has made a difference in my life and I know with continued help I will be a better person. Todd P. |

August 8, 2011 Mrs. Rhonna Phillips was assigned to my clinical team in 2003 while I was employed at Alabama Psychiatric Services (A.P.S). She is a pleasant, knowledgeable, and compassionate person. I was actually able to witness the benefits of Rhonna's excellent therapy skills by observing the progress made by the many patients that she and I shared. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of counseling. |

May 9, 2011 Rhonna was very easy to talk to. She was a very good listener, and she helped me dissect my negative thoughts and understand where they were coming from. I had several breakthroughs working with her. I learned to face my destructive thoughts and their causes and was then able to work on them. It is a process, and I am still working on things. I can honestly say that I am truly happy for the first time in my life. Ashley E. |
