I’ve love how my therapist challenges me. I’ve grow so much over the time I’ve been doing therapy. I’m so glad that I got on BetterHelp. Wish I would’ve done it sooner.

Kalisha understands how to communicate with her clients things that she sees that we wouldn't see while in a situation - much like that parable about the fish looking for the water while swimming in it. If you're emotionally distressed about a situation and need a breather, Kalisha can help you install that boundary and work through the emotions to clearly see which behavior is enabling the situation to continue. With humor, kind frankness and sensitivity, Kalisha has helped me and I believe she can help you too.
