She not only made it easy to open up about the mess that I'd made of my life, but neither did she shy away from helping me take responsibility for my own errors. Always gently encouraged me to find my own solutions. I have suggested her to every friend, or family member, who I knew was having trouble finding their way forward. She seems to always have just the right touch to nudge people in a direction that, as she says, they knew was the right way to go... but needed an impartial, caring person to help them discover what their hearts were already wise to. Seriously ~ after trying more therapists than I care to admit, I can recommend others to run, not walk, to Julie! Let her help you as she did me.. to take back control of my life. As she's said to me, no one else can control our destinies but ourselves. If we don't surrender our decisions & responsibilities to others, we'll never have to feel like we're spinning out of control again. That's a priceless gift we can learn to give ourselves. Thanks again Julie!

Working with Kaila as my counselor has been both a healing and growing experience. Kaila is a great…read morelistener and is very patient through many ramblings, and I am quite prone to rambling. Being able to openly discuss my faith and relationship with the Lord with Kaila has been very refreshing. While being able to speak with a pastor is a good thing, and speaking to family is also good, being able to speak to someone who is entirely removed from my life about my various struggles in my walk with Christ has been massively helpful and challenging. On another note, being able to speak with her about the challenges of fatherhood and being a husband, and receiving both validation as well as questions meant to challenge my perceptions has helped me grow as both a father and husband. The Lord is certainly using Kaila where she is, and having her as a counselor is truly a blessing.

After the initial consult with Lisa Smith (via FaceTime) I knew I had found the right person to help me. And she did, shockingly swiftly. She understood the problem right away and counseled me on not just what I needed to do, but how to do it. And to my surprise and relief, her advice was spot on. It's been life changing, literally, and in a short period of time. Was it tough love? Yes but the love was there, I always felt she had my best interests at heart. I couldn't recommend her any higher. Thank you again, Lisa!

Lisa helped create a safe and comfortable environment for us to openly talk about ourselves, our relationship and our goals.

Overall, my fiancé and I feel that we grew much closer and our connection became ever deeper through premarital counseling which is exactly what we were looking for. Lisa is the perfect person to help any couple improve their connection, communication and problem solving skills!

I'd give far more stars for Kimberly Bartlett than five if I could. Five stars just doesn't seem…read morelike enough to rate somebody who played such a vital part in helping my child overcome the fear, anxiety and debilitation of OCD. My son has struggled with anxiety since he was four, often developing little ticks that only his dad and I noticed. It seemed harmless though as each tick only lasted a couple months. At 6, he became very anxious going to school and in social situations. This became a bit worrisome, so we began trying to talk through ways to help him feel more comfortable with the big goal being him going onto the playground before school (big scary stuff for him). After a school year of working up to the big goal, he still wasn't ready and we tabled the goal for 2nd grade. During summer break (2015), what we thought was only anxiety went from bad to worse. He began hurting himself repeatedly without any ability or control to stop it. He would stick his finger to the back of his throat over and over until his throat was red and raw. My husband and I had to monitor our son 24 hours a day to help him overcome the urges, and it seemed like it was almost causing him pain to deny them. We called Kimberly immediately and she made room for us to come in in just a few days. After meeting him, Kimberly diagnosed him with OCD. The first day our son met Kimberly, he came out of therapy with more hope and peace than we'd seen in days. He was literally armed with tools to help him through what we now know were compulsions. The tools were effective and practical and began to work immediately. After approximately 3 months of therapy, our family was fully equipped with the tools and knowledge to support my son and we only schedule occasional check-ins with Kimberly. Degan, our son, has only had one instance since our last appointment with a compulsion, but he quickly utilized the tools Kimberly gave him and overcame it in seconds. And shortly after his last appointment, my son stepped onto the playground at school 10 full minutes before the bell. Yes, this is a long review, but I imagine our story will resonate with many of you and I hope you let Kimberly get you to a happier ending like us!

It is a hard thing to muster up and do but I knew it was in my sons best interest to find him someone he could talk to about controlling his behaviors/ emotions. Since the day we started I knew that call would end up being one of the best things I have ever done and that she was going to be a great fit. Little did I know that the change would happen pretty fast and that it wouldn't just change his behavior but the dynamic in our family and home and pretty much every area of his life. As we are about to end our program it almost saddens me that we won't see her often but it's comforting to know she will always be in our corner. And there is nothing I am more proud of than the huge strides and accomplishments my son has made in the last few months. Life changing.
