"I had never been to therapy before and was really, really anxious about it. But from the first consultation I felt safe and comfortable with Mary Kate (Kitty). She was so caring and professional.
I really liked the fact that she's 'been there, done that & has the scars and uniforms to prove it.' She knows what it’s like to sit in both chairs. Her own life journey added to the training and experience as a therapist, and made me feel hopeful that this therapy thing could work for me too. And it did.
My therapy sessions have provided me with a safe space to explore my thoughts and emotions, and learn how to find the resilience story in my PTSD and burn-out, so I’ve been able to grow from my struggles and traumatic events, rather than be held hostage by them. I feel like I'm stronger, more empowered and I know & like myself now.
I now know what I'm capable of accomplishing in my life. I don't see my medical issues and limitations as a curse anymore because I focus on what I can do and enjoy rather than what I can’t. I've learned how to build on my strengths while shoring up my weak areas. I have more self-compassion and self-worth, and more compassion and empathy for others.
Therapy was so worth the time, work and energy. Thanks Kitty!"
