Kathleen has helped me with many struggles I’ve dealt with. She listens to the many struggles I face, and helps guide me to better my self confidence. I get multiple worksheets that help me understand things I need to improve so that I can move forward with better mental health. I don’t know how I would be able to get through trying times without her.

I had been pushing off therapy for years due to my negative preconceived ideas of the whole process but Kathleen made the experience very pleasant. I felt very comfortable with her and I no longer have a “fear” of therapy.

I have been attending therapy since I was 4 years old off and on. Kathleen has been the first therapist I've had that I really feel understands me and listens to me. She's hard on me when I need her to be and she has already made so much progress with me.

Kathleen Phalen is a perfect fit for me! She is very understanding, an amazing listener, she’s very experienced and well-rounded, she’s personable and professional, and my favorite thing about Kathleen is how she picks up on what I say, she’ll keep note of it, and then get down to the root of things. She has a process and it has been effective so far! I love her and am so glad I was matched with her.
