Kathleen has been unbelievably insightful in helping me recognize complex PTSD and to take healthy steps in dealing with a covert narcissistic parent. She is a really engaged listener and is so tuned in - I really appreciate my sessions with her and feel like they have been instrumental to my healing and recovery process.
