I’m still here. I know it’s been a very long time, but I’m not abandoning this little project. Lots of good things and lots of not-so-good things have conspired to rob me of time to work on Grid Therapy puzzles. Puzzles are going to come in less frequently, but they will keep coming. I hope you all have been well and I hope you enjoy this one!

I'm a husband, father, psychologist, musician, and crossword constructor living in Catonsville, MD. My puzzles have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times and its syndicates, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Andrews McMeel Universal Syndicate, the American Values Club Crossword, Spyscape Crossword, The Crosswords Club, and crossword apps such as the Redstone Crossword Puzzle App on iOS and Google Play. All of that means I've been published in every newspaper in the United States and many others around the world. Here at Grid Therapy, I can show a bit more of myself than the major publishers can allow. I hope you enjoy your time here on the crossword couch! I'd love to hear from you if you have comments or suggestions. If you're interested in having a custom crossword puzzle created for your event or organization, email me at drtrent (at) gmail.com.
Hello Mr. Trent!
Thank you for the puzzle. It was just what I needed this morning.
KINDA SORTA reminded me of one of my high school English teachers, who told us never to use those words in writing. Naturally, being teenagers, we inserted them in our writing whenever we could. Looking back, I feel a little bad for Mr. Kindasorta. But just a little.
I am sorry about the not-so-good things that have happened in your life, and hope that the good things outnumber them.
Thank you Lisa! All is generally well. Life just sometimes decides to throw things at you. It KINDA SORTA sucks a little, but nothing I can’t handle and indeed the good things predominate. Thank you for your kind words!
It’s always a welcome surprise to find a new puzzle from you! Hope the balance between good and not-so-good continues in a positive direction.

Loved it, Dr. Trent! I was working as a part-time oncology chaplain when 1D went into effect — whew! Talk about sudden difficulties in patient referrals, sheesh.. Some of the nurses trained in 58 A and had some good results. Beautiful grid and sensational cluing, as usual. Thank you so much and take care of yourself!
I’ve often wondered if puzzle creators liked the time that making a crossword gave them some “thoughtful time” where they could just disappear for several hours and just let their minds flow freely. And I like your puzzles, and I hope that you continue feeding our addictions, lol!
