I LOVE Kelly. She is so friendly and just there for me through everything

Writing this feels like bidding farewell to a dear friend, even though I know it's not goodbye. Our time together has been a journey that transformed you from a professional I turned to for help into a cherished friend and confidante.

Our sessions have given me the strength to face my fears, the wisdom to confront my doubts, and the courage to explore the depths of my soul. Through "Mindful Mondays" and every heart-to-heart conversation, not only has Kelly been my therapist but a trusted companion on this voyage of self-discovery.

The thought of not having our regular sessions is bittersweet. It feels like saying goodbye to a confidante, but I find solace in the knowledge that the door of her guidance and wisdom remains open. Her support and friendship have meant more to me than words can express, and I carry the lessons she's imparted with me into the future.

While our official therapeutic journey might be coming to an end, the bond we've built and the invaluable lessons I've learned from her will continue to shape my life. So, it's not goodbye but a "see you later," as I know that our paths will cross again.

Kelly is an exceptional therapist, and her impact on my life has been nothing short of transformative. When I first sought her help, I was trapped in the tumultuous storm of a reactive and explosive marriage. But under her guidance, I've experienced a profound shift, moving from chaos to inner peace and serenity that can only be compared to the wisdom of Buddha.

Kelly's approach to therapy is remarkable. Her deep understanding, unwavering support, and insightful guidance have allowed me to untangle the complex emotions and challenges I faced. With her by my side, I've learned to navigate my reactions, understand the source of my emotions, and cultivate inner tranquility.

Her expertise is truly unparalleled, and I cannot thank her enough for the invaluable lessons she's imparted. Kelly has not just been my therapist; she's been my guiding light on a path of personal growth and self-discovery.

I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly to anyone seeking profound positive change in their lives. She has the unique ability to lead her clients from chaos to calm, helping them find the peace and serenity they deserve. Kelly's therapeutic prowess has been a true blessing in my life.

She has been an amazing and productive therapist for me since last year. She is very talented and listens and cares about whatever situation you are in, whether it is current or in the past. The skills she has given me have helped me out tremendously and I wouldn't have been the person I am today without her provided me with them. She is just very caring and that is what I LOVE about her. Thankfully I was a match with her.

Kelly was so lovely to work with. She's very guiding between and during sessions, so if you show up to therapy and you're like "I'm fine now but three days ago I was really struggling, not sure how to address it" she will give you prompts and ask questions that are more than "how was your week?". It's really nice to be led in this context. She gave me a few insights that I think will stay with me forever!

Going into therapy, I wasn't sure what to expect, but Kelly listened to my expectations of her and has gone above and beyond. I always come out of our sessions feeling hopeful and motivated and she really listens to whatever i have to say and gives great insight back when I'm done. Cannot recommend her enough.

Kelly is truly an amazing therapist and human being.

She will truly listen to you and provide a solution based response to your struggles without any personal judgment what so ever!

Kelly is fully engaged. It matters to her to understand not just what happened or you are going through, but the little emotions or changes during your situation. She does a great job of bringing the research and industry experience and knowledge to you in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming. Her blend of communicative skills from a professional to a comfortable person to talk with really helps you open up, which to me is the most important thing. Being comfortable with your therapist so you can handle the more significant issues that you haven't talked about. Kelly is phenomenal and I wish more people had a therapist like her.

Mis understood me during the first session and told me to find a new therapist instead of asking for clarification.

Kelly is an amazing professional therapist. She understood my problems that I did NOT know about, and she helped me overcome them. She helped reduce my anxiety and look at things differently!
