Hello, I am Kathleen.
First, I want to commend you for reaching out to get some support.

I have over 14 years of experience and I am natural encourager with great empathy. Areas I specialize in are depression, anxiety, self-esteem, stress, life transition, work/life balance and wellness.

I will assist you in the process of managing difficult feelings, issues, self-limiting beliefs and discover new perspectives and solutions to what is holding you back and put in place motivation and action steps to move you forward to reach agreed upon goals.
It would be my honor and a privilege to have an opportunity to work with you as your therapist/coach and if you are open to counseling process I know we can accomplish great things together.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kathleen Kelly-Dishno. 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.
Since starting online counseling I have not only been able to open up to people and enjoy my days more, but also have more confidence and get back my life. My social life struggled before, but now I feel it has improved and gotten easier to hang around friends and spend time out of the house. I wouldn't change how things have improved since that first day I decided to get help!
