Dwayne Kilgore has been a huge help and an even greater blessing. I'm going through the toughest season of my life right now, and desperately want to make healthy and wise decisions. Dwayne helped me to center my thoughts, focus on my beliefs, and gave thought provoking feedback on my current circumstances. I leave every session feeling lighter of spirit and encouraged to keep going. Most importantly, he reminds me to keep my faith and to continue being the best version of myself. It feels good to know that there are people whom you don't know that can help you through the toughest storms.I am very appreciative of every session we've had. I pray everyone ends up with a therapist who sees and cares like Mr. Kilgore does, and I pray he is blessed with as much love, wisdom, and support that he provides for others.

It is refreshing to find a provider with whom one can look forward to working with, despite the circumstances of having to come into therapy, and feel confident that they are familiar with your condition as well as the treatments and techniques used to promote recovery. It is also reassuring to know that your provider is familiar with the experts in that particular area of mental health; that was a new experience.good

As a Christian man still growing in my walk with God, Dwayne has helped me onto a path of reflection and discovery about the real truth of my relationships. How God sees and loves me, how I serve and love the Lord, and how this dynamic is reflected in my marriage, parenting, and fellowship with others. I am early in my transformation but am encouraged by Dwayne's honest questions of how and whether I truly love the Lord my God with all my heart, mind, and soul. I would recommend Dwayne to anyone looking to start the journey toward the authentic person that God designed them to be.
