Client testimonials
"Kenneth was an optimal listener and provided an amazing experience. The consultation was ten minutes and that was all I needed. He gave me an appointment the same day for our first session because he seemed like such a good fit and I have such a tight schedule. He helped me explore my own trauma and allowed me to guide myself through it while providing the necessary nudges along the way in a comfortable manner. Never overstepping. He did the exact amount that was needed for me to open up about my experiences. Even though my session was so late in the day he was still alert and aware and completely engaged. I look forward to working with him on my journey of recovery for both mental health and addiction. All of this and it was only our first session. He has over 35yrs of experience and just recently opened his own private practice and for anybody else in the future I would highly recommend giving him a chance."
