So far so good.. we have more to do, but I am sure we’ll get there
Written on Oct 07, 2025 after therapy with Denise for 1 year and 1 month on issues concerning depression, addictions, and relationship issues
Working with Denise Kidd has been a truly transformative experience. From our very first session, she helped me gently uncover patterns and behaviors that were worth exploring, all with incredible insight and care. Denise is an exceptionally attentive listener, and it's clear she genuinely cares about her clients’ well-being. The exercises and reflections she gave me have been deeply therapeutic—I return to them often, and they've become a meaningful part of my daily life. I feel incredibly grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking a thoughtful, compassionate, and effective therapist.

Denise is amazing! She has taken a great part of my life into consideration during our sessions. She is always flexible and available. She has a sweet demeanor and I can talk to her like a friend. It doesn’t feel like a therapy session to me.

Denise has the know how to read me immediately. I didn't hold back on conversation, and when I talked about what I thought I needed, she'd already sent me docs/worksheets, and on point suggestions for dealing with my acute stress.

Her skills and encouragement has opened a new perspective that I would never would have figured out by reading self help books or listening to any help podcasts. I have many issues that she breaks down in easy to understand basics and is helping me solve each problem piece by piece.

Denise is very down to earth and what I’ve appreciated the most is how she has used examples of her own life to connect with mine. I look forward to every visit!

Denise is kind, caring, and compassionate. She’s has helped me immensely with things I needed help with. I’m very grateful.
Written on Feb 05, 2024 after therapy with Denise for 1 month on issues concerning anger management, and coaching
Denise helped me walk myself through my current predicaments that have been somewhat overwhelming this past handful of months. She's provided resources that I am able to use outside of my BetterHelp subscription, a benefit I wasn't expecting at the onset of my one month trial. I have better clarity on my life and it's thanks to her showing up for me, even if it was only a few times together on a Zoom call. Thank you Denise, for all you do.
