Kathleen Dobbs, MSW

I was connected with Kathy through my work's EAP after struggling with anxiety. Kathy responded to my query about sessions on the same day, and we had our first appointment shortly after. During our sessions, Kathy would walk me through exercises, talk about my concerns, and inject a bit of humor or personal stories as well. She would often follow-up our sessions with emails containing relevant content pertaining to our discussion. Kathy and I were a great match. After about 7 sessions, it had become apparent to both of us that she had greatly assisted in getting me through my current crisis, but more importantly, Kathy helped develop the skills I needed to tackle mental health struggles in the future. I am so grateful that Kathy helped me through one of the toughest and darkest times of my life. I would, and have, recommended her to friends looking for therapists.

I cannot say enough good things about Kathy Dobbs' skills and professionalism. For years, I was in a marriage with ongoing domestic abuse. Verbal abuse; not physical. But the emotional harm that my narcissistic husband caused left me with no self-confidence, no self-esteem and intense pain that led to clinical depression. Kathy's vast knowledge and experience, her approaches and patience allowed me to grow and to change all of that. I am now happy and mentally healthy, and Kathy played a major part in that. I highly recommend her!

We saw Kathy Dobbs for my then 10 year old daughter, who was experiencing a lot of anxiety in her 5th grade year. Kathy saw us right away (contrary to our pediatrician who couldn't see us for 2 months!) My daughter and I loved her and she really works to get families quickly to a point that they don't need the counseling anymore. My daughter is really thriving now, a year and a half later, and I highly recommend Kathy to anyone dealing with preteens or older who struggle with anxiety.
