Kathy is amazing and so easy to talk to. She makes me feel seen and validated. I appreciate her immensely.
I can say honestly that Kathy is the BEST counselor I have ever had. She gets me. We have much in common. I need someone that I can be completely honest with and she is the one. God must have brought her into my life. Kathy is exactly the kind of counselor needed to represent Brightside. Well done and thank you very, very much. Tammy
Kathy is awesome!! Super supportive and listens when you just need to vent. She keeps you on the right path, even if you take a wrong turn somewhere. You do not feel like you are on this journey alone, because you know she is right behind you, cheering you on and/or guiding you when needed. Kathy is a wonderful therapist!!
