What My Clients Have Said...
"Kathy, thank you so much. We really valued working with you and the whole experience. You really haleped our family and our daughter and it was such a great experience. I was really able to trust you and let go. Things are so much better now, thanks to you."
-NC, Former Client
"I am really really happy and was just thinking how much you helped me along this path and wanted to thank you. You were great and inspirational and believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. I came into your office a complete wreck thinking that my life wasn't going anywhere and you helped me realize things that I wouldn't have ever realized on my own. I want you to know that you were a great help in my path of wanting to become a physician. Thank you again for helping me realize that I have the potential to become a great and successful doctor and get into a medical school. Thank you for all of you help."
-MM, Former Client
"I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Nickerson; I truly feel blessed to have had counseling with her. She has a very warm and caring personality and from our initial session made me feel comfortable sharing my concerns with her. Her approach, while direct, is that of a very sympathtic person. She was quickly able to help me identify areas that were adversely affecting me and gave me tools to jump-start the healing process. I directly attribute her kind manner and caring attitude to helping me achieve my goals."
-JB, Former Client
"Kathy, I wish you could get in my head and heart. You are a gifted, insightful therapist. I am a better person today because of the influence you have in my life. I mean that. Thank you."
-CW, Former Client
"From the first conversation I had with Kathy, I knew she was different. She was not like the other therapists I interviewed, she was real. She took time to answer my questions and didn't say things that seemed fluffy or weird. She was honest, straight forward, and realistic. My wife and I went to her when I thought there was no way anyone could help us. I was just going through the motions and wanted to give it one last try. During our first meeting, Kathy gave both of us hope that things could be better. In fact, she said they would be better. She was right and things got better much faster than I would have thought. In just a few weeks, our relationship was better than it had been in years. I know it's because of what Kathy did and asked us to do. She has the best qualities of a friend and a counselor - she's smart, funny, real, honest, and she cares. There's no doubt that she loves what she does and she loves the people she works with. Her dedication is amazing and I am better for knowing her. Kathy is so good at what she does, she's really the best and we love her."
-JR, Former Client
"Thanks so much, you have been so great."
-ET, Former Client
"Thank you for all of your work with my daughters. What a difference!!"
-LH, Former Client
"If you are looking for someone to understand you, provide empathy and support, but also needing someone to be honest and able to offer solutions to your situation, Dr. Nickerson is this person. She is warm and engaging and able to be candid about sensitive issues. I have known her for the past 5 years and she is professional and ethical and being a counselor myself would not hesitate to refer clients, friends or family members to her. She is wonderful!"
-SM, Former Client
"I always thought that people who were in therapy were in it for years and years. After speaking with Dr. Nickerson I knew that wouldn't happen because I immediately felt better. She understood my issues right off the bat and explained some techniques I could experiment with when I got home after my first visit. All in all, I spent six months in therapy with Dr. Nickerson and the experience was invaluable. It's great to know that if I need to go back, I can. She's there to help."
-CS, Former Client
"I hesitated entering therapy. I saw it as resigning myself to the fact that I had lost control of my life. It was upon my wife's insistance that I saw Dr. Nickerson, and it was one of the best decisions I've made. I was tremendously relieved when Dr. Nickerson told me, "We're going to fix this, you just need some new tools so you can change your response." That in itself started our relationship off on the right foot. She made me feel like I'm the same as anyone else, and everyone needs help once in a while. By helping me see that there was nothing "wrong" with me, Dr. Nickerson reinforced habits in me that were already "right" and re-structured the way I communicated."
-JS, Former Client
"Dr. Nickerson truly listens and feels what I'm feeling. I have tried therapy before, and have never felt like they truly got to know me or cared about my problems. From the moment we met, I could sense that Dr. Nickerson genuinely wanted me to feel better, not just vent without any progress in sight. I think that it's her realness that kept me working on myself - not some talking head with a clipboard. You want to trust the person you're telling certain things to, and she always made me feel comfortable."
-RW, Former Client
"This was such a valuable experience, I wish everyone would go through it."
-TJN, Former Client
"I spent 10 years in therapy with someone else, after 6 months with you, my life has completely changed."
-KL, Former Client
