Testimonials:

“Katie at Wisdom Within made me believe that therapy really works. My wife and I were looking for a way to strengthen our communication and Katie helped us do that and so much more. I would recommend Katie to anyone. It was my first experience with therapy and I can honestly say it was the best decision for my relationship that we ever made!”

“Katie is a wonderful therapist and she truly goes above and beyond to assess our needs for each session and focus on what we are there to address in that day. She was thoughtful of my ADHD diagnosis while in session and brought along many tools to make us comfortable. Highly recommend this practice to anyone, even if you’ve never been to therapy before.”

“Katie is amazingly empathetic and exceedingly helpful in working through both the long term and more recent challenges in my life. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to make a positive change in their lives.”

“My family turned to Katie after a traumatic event. While the focus was on my tween, my husband and I also had sessions and received support. We started once weekly, eventually tapering to biweekly, then monthly sessions. We met first in person then transitioned to video calls once the connection was made and my daughter was comfortable. Katie introduced different methods and tools of therapy including outdoor walks, games, music, meditation, dance, art, and her two wonderful papillons. We are grateful for the almost year and a half (2022-2023) Katie worked with our family and highly recommend her.”

Testimonials – How is your experience now, after a few months of sessions?

“We are very happy. She is really wonderful with my daughter. She always has something prepared for the session. She also takes into account if we have any requests or feedback. For example, I did mention to her that my child will be starting at a new school at the end of August, so I wanted her to work a little bit on making new friends and role-playing, and she was very accommodating for that. She’s also been working to teach my child and us the different coping skills for regulating emotions, so we can work on that at home. She is also very good about responding to text messages and phone calls. We are so happy!”

“I very much appreciate your support and advice. Thank you! And thank you for helping so many people by running your business. My daughter and I had a wonderful experience with WWC. Our counselors were wonderfully kind and supportive. They provided many helpful resources relative to what we were going through. It was a pleasure to work with them and definitely improved our quality of life. Thank you for providing a safe space to explore, feel and learn!”

“I had bad experiences with couples therapists and we almost wanted give up and felt defeated until we found Wisdom Within Counseling. For the first time, Katie made both me and partner feel so validated and heard, and she has been so great at setting goals and giving us tools to meet them. She’s helped my relationship so much and she’s been made me feel so seen and empowered that I would I like to continue to see her individually.”

“The play therapy and puppet methods really seem to resonate with my daughter. She’s done a lot better since meeting with you. Her anxiety has reduced. I would like her to keep meeting weekly at the same time.”

“Before starting marriage therapy, we fought and spiraled by yelling at each other. We have had bad arguments in the past. Yelling is not something I want her to experience again. The different exercises we did in therapy reminded us how much we love each other and brought that to the forefront of our minds. We have argued much less since starting with Katie. I see my wife in a more empathetic way now. We are learning how to break the cycle of pain and communicate better.”

“After almost a year of therapy, it has felt so easy talking with Katie about a lot of my life. For most of my life, I have always kept most of my thoughts and mental debates to myself. This was the first time I could get those out, knowing there was no judgment. It helps me knowing Katie is experienced. I like that she didn’t have an agenda, and listened openly and reminded me of my growths along the way. I learned to be more open and honest than I have with anyone in my life. I appreciated the conversations, the outside perspective, and the support from her as a female therapist with me staying on track.”
