I was interested in sort of laying out the internals of our relationship to therapist/counselor to see if there were any red flags we should be aware of, and talk through anything that could potentially be problematic for a long term relationship. Most importantly, Dr. Lillie is incredibly competent in her line of work, and can remarkably quickly ask the important questions to guide couples to new perspectives on their relationship. The way that Dr. Lillie interacted with my partner and I was not only transformative in the way we think, but carried care, empathy, and psychological safety. I never felt judged, only heard, but still was compelled to change my thinking about some foundational pillars of being in a relationship. Needless to say, my partner and I are happier than we ever thought possible, and indeed got married :) I owe a lot of this to only a few conversations I had with Dr. Lillie, and to that end, I'm very grateful for the time I've shared with her.

She is a fantastic therapist; she really listens and participates in the session, helping me talk back to distortions I have in my thinking. She is very attentive and has an amazing memory. By having appointments at various times of the day including earlier some days and into the late evenings other days, she is accommodating to what her patients need which I really appreciate. She also has a really simple and easy billing system - it sounds minor but paying therapists has ALWAYS been such a painful experience with everyone else that I've seen (remembering to bring my checkbook, having to coordinate to get a hand-written summary to send for insurance reimbursement, etc.). With Kate, I have auto-pay set up using my credit card, and I get a thorough monthly superbill emailed to me like clockwork to supply to insurance, so easy. She's the only therapist I've ever looked forward to seeing - knowing it will help me process what's going on in my day-to-day life and I'll come out with new solutions to try. She has helped me through some very difficult times. If I ever leave this area I think I would have to travel to keep seeing Kate.

At some point we both began to realize that I needed to be called on my &&@# and she did just that, albeit with kindness and directness. Thus our relationship morphed into one of a counselor and a client. I went from a 246 lbs smoker to a healthy 210 lbs man who shops for fresh ingredients. Eats good nutritious fresh food daily and has not had a cigarette in 5 months. I continue seeing her monthly now. It helps me stay focused and not take my physical and mental health for granted.

Session by session I learned how to release beliefs that didn't serve me but not from my mind but from my body. I didn't rationalize them away nor did they disappear.

Forgiveness is not what it was. Instead, I just don't feel reactive. This has given me the space to create a new life that I love.
