Kelly is the best therapist I have ever day. I have been in therapy since I was 12 years old. She listens and guides me through the healing process. Giving me time when I need to be lonely to process things and letting me come back without judging me for taking a break.

Kelly is amazing! She stayed very patient and open when I talked to her. She's very understanding and I love that she gives me her own professional insight that has helped me in day to day life. If I ever get a membership again, I'm going to try to get her again!
