Katherine has been very helpful to me. She has been consistently nonjudgmental and gave me the space I needed to work through my divorce.

Katherine Ward is an excellent therapist! I always come away feeling like I was heard and understood. She gives me ideas for ways to work out concerns between sessions, but lets me know she's just a message away in case I need something. She's upbeat and positive! I'm glad she was chosen for me.

Katherine and I have been seeing each other for over a year now and I look forward to every session. She always has a smile on her face and is always incredibly helpful. She has a great sense of humor and is very compassionate. She helped me bring so much peace into my life and helped me find trust. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist!!

Insightful, sharp, empathetic and real. In the weeks that I have been working with Katherine I have started to unravel some of the bonds that have tethered me for decades. Thank you Katherine!

I recommend this app to everyone. Mainly due to my therapist being so wonderful. And the ease of use. She responds quickly and has listened and addressed everything with me. She has even spent extra time with me when available to work out issues.
