I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has worked in the field of mental health for over 30 years. I have experience as a psychotherapist working with a wide range of clients, from children to adults, and a wide range of issues including mood disorders, personality disorders, self-harm, sexual trauma and sexual abuse; however, I specialize in working with those who have been sexually abused, those who have sexual addictions, and those who are struggling with their sexuality.
It is difficult to acknowledge having been sexually abused, having issues with your sexuality, or sexual addictions, and even more difficult to seek help in this area. I have experience working with hundreds of people who have struggled with these issues. I have a supportive counseling style and can draw on a wealth of experience to you address the issues you identify as important. I have helped people address these issues, make dramatic changes they did not think were possible, and improve their relationships, their self-esteem, and quality of life. If you have even considered seeking help with these issues, I can offer a warm, supportive, and highly confidential approach, and I look forward to working with you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marshall Kirkpatrick. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Marshall Kirkpatrick has helped me so much to sort out a tangle of childhood trauma and how it has affected my day to day life. Thanks to his counseling, I have started to achieve some clarity and insight. Incredibly helpful therapist and I highly recommend him!
