She listened, she understood and she really cared. I was able to have those hard conversations in complete privacy and confidence. She helped don't only manage my grief but overcome many childhood wounds. I felt stronger, gained more clarity and a fresh perspective. I became grateful rather than sad. Couldn't have wished for a better experience or a better outcome out of a very dark place. Their whole staff and offices were very conducive to a healing experience.

I went to Michelle as she was in the area and wow...what a difference...anyone else I had talked to had more of the sounding board approach and showing support which is fine, but when I went to Michelle she explained why everything was happening, I would get homework at times which I like, book suggestions, audiobook and meditation suggestions, I felt like I was taking a course in counselling and so much finally made sense to me, so many things answered instead of other counselors I saw that where "that must have been difficult for you" "how does that make you feel" "well...these things happen in life and it's good you came to see me". No...Michelle is extremely knowledgeable and has taken extra special training, I cant remember what it was called. Lifechanging for me though.

Definitely pleasantly surprised and will be coming back for more sessions.

I don't get that feeling with a lot of counselors, therefore, this is a huge thing for me to say. I'm gad that she moved her practice within the city. Very awesome at listening without judgement and very encouraging. She indulges me in my offbeat sense of humor which is appreciated. I feel good after her sessions with new goals and ideas that I worked out myself through openly talking and with her asking appropriate questions to get me thinking a little bit more outside the box so that I can creatively come to my own conclusions. I can't wait to see her again in March.

I cannot caution strongly enough against Kata Warren. My wife and my marriage was falling to…read morepieces, and we went to see Kara. She had been recommended by a friend of my wife, and my wife had read some positive reviews, so off we went. Over the next two months, we met with Kara both as a couple, and individually. At first, she seemed pleasant enough, but what I found was that she was not very professional with her approach. She was clearly very biased against me. At first I thought it was my imagination, and I wish that was all it was. I do not claim to be perfect. Far from it. I am as flawed as everyone else, but somehow all the marital problems appeared to be my fault. If my wife brought up a negative action I had committed during our 15 year marriage, Kara would turn to me, and challenge me regarding why I had done that. Which I think is correct. Let's analyze the problems and mistakes my wife and I had made. However, if I brought up a negative action that my wife had made during our fifteen year marriage, Kara would turn to me and tell me that the action was in the past, and I needed to let it go. Somehow my wife's actions were not significant enough to discuss. When it came to emotions, Kara made it clear that if I was feeling any negative emotions, they were entirely my problem, and I should not let them effect anyone else. Yet my wife's emotions were caused by me, and I should take greater care of safeguarding her emotions. I thought that maybe I was paranoid about how Kara, a trained councillor, was biased against me, but she even said that my wife's affair was entirely my fault. The last time I saw Kara, she told me that I am an asshole. She did not give any suggestions as to how I could improve, nor did she make any attempt to help. I left her office in tears, emotionally broken, and vowed never to return. Talking with my wife, now ex-wife, Kara had advised her multiple times to leave me. Our councillor, who was trying to help us, had advised my wife to leave. During the time my wife and I were seeing Kara, my stress and anxiety levels were increasing to dangerously high levels. Perhaps I was appearing to be an asshole. We all have bad times in our lives, but as a councillor, it is Kara's job to see that situation and try to help us. Less than a week after Kara called me an asshole, my stress level peaked, and emotionally I completely broke. I suffered a nervous breakdown and attempted suicide twice. At less than a week, to a trained and experienced councillor, all the warning signs were there. Yet she called me an asshole, and pushed me out her door. In the weeks following my breakdown, I saw some communication between Kara and my wife. In those communications, my wife told Kara what had happened, and Kara cast the blame for my breakdown, entirely on me. My wife and I separated a couple of weeks after my nervous breakdown. I cast part of the blame on Kara. She had told my wife to leave, and told my wife that my nervous breakdown was my problem, and my wife should not worry about it. My recommendation is that nobody, ever, should see Kara Warren for counselling. She was my marriage and personal councillor, and she actively worked to end my marriage, and she drove me to try and kill myself. That outcome is the exact opposite of what a good councillor would try to achieve.
