Hi there! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 12 years of professional work experience including helping clients with relationship issues & motivation, self esteem, and confidence.
My counseling style is pretty laid back and I find myself to have a pretty good sense of humor.
I enjoy helping individuals find their path to more happier and thriving times as well as couples rekindle their desire for each other and help remember why you saw in each at the beginning of the relationship. I also thrive with older teens with self-confidence, decision making and overall direction.
My therapy style is very client-centered as it is my job to help you find the answers rather than me telling you what I think you want to hear. Change is hard and I will work with you to go down that path together.
I commend you for recognizing that things need to change from where you are at currently and I look forward to being the one that helps you get there!
Additional areas of focus: Family conflicts, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, Coaching, Divorce and separation, Family Problems, Fatherhood Issues, Life purpose, Men's issues, Midlife crisis, Money and financial issues
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kyle Garifo. 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.
I enjoyed the sessions I had with Kyle. He's both present and compassionate. He was supportive in terms of where I am at the moment but also challenged some of the conclusions I had come to about myself in a constructive way that helped me reframe my perspective.
