I love Kea. Since day one she paid attention in everything I shared. She listened closely and compassionately understood. She has helped me overcome many fears that I had been dealing with for over 30 years and she continues to help me in many ways. Fears from childhood, fears from my young adult years, etc. Fears that bled into my marriage and caused a lot of horrible things and pain. Thankfully, I found betterhelp and I was matched to Kea and I feel supported. Thank God.
