One year in and I am so grateful for my therapist Kathleen - learning to be gentler with myself, but also working to learn personal accountability when it comes to boundaries and health. Definitely the right fit at the right time! I feel very lucky to have been matched with her!

So far, I feel very confident with her experience and follow up with me. She checks in periodically to keep updated and I feel that’s beneficial. She has given me tools to implement outside of counseling. I would highly recommend!

I really enjoyed working with Kathleen. She helps me not to feel guilty about my sons death and to understand that I did my best.
She listens, understands and cares. I've had therapy before but I've never had a therapist that reached out to me weekly after our sessions to offer strength and encouragement.
Thank you so much Kathleen!!
