Dr. Kitty Klee has been a wonderful therapist to work with. She is an excellent listener and creates a space that feels safe, supportive, and grounded from the very first session. I really appreciate her casual, straightforward approach — she is direct in a way that feels honest and reassuring, not clinical or intimidating.
She listens carefully, validates what I’m experiencing, and responds with insight and compassion. I never feel rushed or judged, and I leave sessions feeling more understood and steadied. I’m very grateful to be working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who is warm, genuine, and real.

Dr. Klee has been absolutely amazing to work with. She is incredibly kind, patient, and truly takes the time to listen to everything I share without ever making me feel rushed or dismissed. I always feel heard and understood during our sessions, which has made such a big difference for me.
She gives me practical, thoughtful tools to help manage my anxiety in ways that actually feel doable in real life. Her approach is supportive but also empowering, and she explains things in a way that helps me understand what’s happening in my mind and body instead of feeling overwhelmed by it.
One of the things I appreciate most is how she asks really insightful questions that genuinely make me think and reflect. Those moments often help me see things from a new perspective and walk away with more clarity and confidence. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who truly cares and knows how to help.

She makes the getting to know you not feel forced and like you're repeating yourself. It feels like a conversation rather than talking at someone. Kitty Definitely gives credit where credit is due but also doesn't give empty praise. It's really refreshing to have someone push back and talk to you like a fellow adult while also addressing things you may not realize during sessions.
