"...techniques in order to improve my way of rating patients and their families. You have been very honest in pointing out my weaknesses and have been truthful in all facts but at the same time, praising my strengths. That's very important to me, again, thank you! You brought out the best in me and gave me many opportunities to better myself to be a future provider in the field of psychiatry."
"Dr. Shepherd's valuable insight and real-life examples of how to heal, thrive and identify areas of improvement helped our journalists relax and feel heard during an uncertain time. He shared tools and ideas to be used in the newsroom, on location or at home. It was much needed session that reminded us that we are not alone and that our fears are nothing to be ashamed of. We highly recommend working with Dr. Shepherd as he knows how to energetically and personally connect with an audience. The most refreshing part of working with him is, what he taught is within an hour, will stay with us for years to come. He lifted our spirits and we are thankful for his expertise."
"Much of the African American Community, in particular, is plagued with economic starvation, employment strangulation, and educational deprivation. Just a mere walk through some of our blighted neighborhoods is enough to cause post-traumatic stress syndrome. Dr. Jonathan Shepherd has the ability to allay many of the myths about mental health so that the common everyday person understands their predicaments and start working toward developing coping technics to address them."
"Over the past year, the members of our church family have experienced a series of personal losses of loved ones. As the Jurisdictional Bishop, I wanted to find some help and resources for the leaders and members to cope with life challenges. Dr. Shepherd led a session entitled "Refreshing" which enhanced the mental and spiritual health of the members of our church family."
"We've been pleased to invite Dr. Shepherd on our show several times. He is informative, compassionate, and erudite, and our listeners always respond positively to his perspective and guidance."

PatientI just want to say good luck with your new transition. You will definitely be missed, and I know that Hope will not be the same without you. Since you've been here, HHS has expanded, and has really developed even more as an agency and pillar in the community, which I do believe has a lot to do with you. I'm not saying that to butter you up 🙂 I truly mean that. It was a surprise to learn that you were leaving, and I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision, but you have to do what is best for you. I wish you luck (sure you don't need it) and really wish you all the best!
