I have talked with two other psychologists before Dr Wayne. They weren't the right fit. If you're looking for someone to actually make a difference, I implore you to give this guy a call, and follow his suggestions. They work! This man is answer to my prayers.

I'm not one to go out of my way to leave reviews, but my hope is that others take the chance to see what I do in Dr Wayne because he has not only helped me with my struggles, but also was the catalyst in changing the trajectory of my life by helping me build a flight plan. read more

I hired Pastor Leonard Wayne to help with my son's intervention that was coordinated by his three best friends. I flew from out of state to help my son to find hope and recovery. While my son agreed to detox and rehab, Pastor Wayne did not help me with removing the drugs and alcohol from his house, nor did he drive my son to rehab as he said he would over the phone. Since my son has been in detox, Pastor Wayne has not reached out to me other than to ask if I wanted to meet with him and my ex-husband, who is an active alcoholic and was the one that gave my son the pills. I would expect more for the price I paid. Be sure to get an agreement in writing outlining what you are paying for. read more

Leonard was recommended by a good family friend, and I thank God he was brought into our lives to help. He very quickly found commonality with my dad, which created trust built on similar experiences. Leonard helped walk my mom and myself through best practices and how to handle certain situations that we wouldn't have known how to handle otherwise. He was constantly there if we needed him during the most important times, and was the main factor in helping my dad get to detox when the time was right. His approach is caring, straight forward, supportive, filled with love, and inspired by God. My dad is now working toward being healthy again, and I truly thank Leonard for the part he played in my family's journey toward health & happiness moving forward. read more

I was experiencing confusion & frustration in my relationship and had wanted to reach out to find a real Christian counselor that could help me. I went online and felt that the Lord had highlighted Pastor Leonard Wayne PhD. Pastor Wayne using scripture rather than his own rhetoric made suggestions and he really appeared to have a sincere connection with his Jesus Yeshua. Dr. Wayne shared with me that what I was dealing with was not in any way unpleasing to Jesus my Savior. I can't thank him enough for spending 2 hours of his time, free of charge, since at this present time I have no money to pay him anything. I don't know how to thank him enough with words; I pray that he continues his ministry serving people, so that they can serve the Lord boldly. Thank you Lord for sending me Pastor Leonard Wayne PhD APA! read more

I've had the pleasure of meeting Leonard a number of times and the good fortune to have him speak at our treatment center and engage men in their early recovery.

He speaks openly and candidly about his outrageous past and the transformation into sobriety and his spiritual faith. His book, Higher and Higher, is nothing short of a "ride"--and one that's work taking. read more

I prayed to find a counselor/therapist during a time of need. It was no coincidence that I came across Dr Leonard's page on Yelp and I knew I should call him.

Since then, he has taught me so much about the Bible and life and he has really guided me through a really tough situation.I truly believe God speaks through him, and I am so blessed to have him in my life. read more
