“The plaques on her wall might say therapist, but she is much more than that. Depression can feel like a long, dark and scary hallway. Kirsten is like a friend who is willing to hold the flashlight in one hand in your hand in the other, while taking one step at a time to guide you through. She doesn’t care how long the hallway is or how scary it gets, she will hold your hand as long as you need her to. She’s the cheerleader, the confidant, the listening ear. Whatever hat she needs to put on, she wears it with Grace. She would tell me all the time that I am in this wonderful place because of all the work I have done on myself, and though I have worked very hard, I know that this picture could look really different if it wasn’t for her. So I am eternally grateful to have had a therapist like Kirsten.
