Kate is super sweet and understanding, the session I’ve had so far immediately felt like a weight off of my shoulders. Definitely recommend her!!

Only a few weeks of working with Kate, and I already have a decrease in panic attacks. She is positive that I will be the person I want to be, which makes me have faith.

I have been through many therapists in the past, and Ekaette is the one for me. It finally happened and breathing is easier now. I am so thankful for her. If you stumble upon her profile, don’t hesitate, she will make a concrete box feel like home.

It’s been hard getting to therapy. I’ve always felt like I can’t be the one who needs it because everyone else needs me! Kate is the first therapist to treat me like a human, listen to what I have to say and respond when she knows I need it. We have only had one session so far but she makes me excited to go back and so very hopeful, which surprises the heck out of me! Kate is someone who will help and listen with all she has instead of acting like you are someone to check off the list.
