Kay challenges me when I’m stuck which I appreciate.

Written on Feb 23, 2024 after therapy with Kay for 1 year and 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, and self esteem

Through the years I’ve had the opportunity to work with several therapists / counselors. By far Kay is the best match for me personally in terms of my personality and what I need and want to accomplish and how I need to get there. And my other therapists were very good by the way. I’m thankful to have been matched with Kay.

Kay looks at all angles of a problem and offers many effective solutions.

Written on Sep 20, 2023 after therapy with Kay for 11 months on issues concerning eating disorders, self esteem, coping with life changes, and adhd

This is the first time that I feel that therapy can make a good impact in my life.
Kay is awesome, she understands what I’m going through.

Written on Aug 10, 2023 after therapy with Kay for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety

I’ve been in therapy for over six months now and Kay has continued to help me work through my goals for my mental health and provided the tools on how I can heal from my life of trauma. She is attuned and sensitive to various cultural sensibilities as we work through some of my racial trauma I experience. She is also attentive and makes sure to check on me throughout the week between our sessions. I understand she may have a lot of clients but Kay never makes me feel like she’s too busy to listen to my concerns and thoughts as I navigate this journey.

She is the best. I have never had a therapist like her. She will actually listen to you and help you with every little thing.
