My husband and I are still amazed that Kitty was able to figure out our 10-year-old son’s needs so quickly, where other professionals had not. Our son loves playing with Kitty so much, he wanted to invite her to his birthday party. He perks up every time he has a session with her. We love how she helps him process and develop his social emotional skills. Her guidance has been invaluable and we appreciate that she joins us for his IEP meetings to help us advocate for our son’s needs.

I came to Kitty at the lowest mental point I had ever experienced. At the time, the idea of moving forward felt impossible - a zero percent chance. I had lost all belief in myself, but Kitty never did. She met me in that dark place with compassion, patience, and support, and showed me the tools to navigate my brain through an insanely difficult time. She advocated for me beyond our therapy sessions, in places she really didn’t have to. Because of her I figured out how to be, and how to want to be human again. I’m beyond lucky and grateful to be a client of hers.

As admittedly anxious parents of a child with a complex medical history, Kitty quickly became a knowledgeable, nurturing part of our daughter’s support team. The rapport she was able to build with our daughter in a very short time is impressive-- so much so that she asks to see Ms. Kitty when she's going through a tough time. Kitty's deep understanding of a wide range of mental health issues in children as well as her multidisciplinary approach to healing allows her to make space for parental preference/philosophy as well as utilize a variety of research backed therapeutic practices. We also appreciate the time Kitty takes to communicate with us about what she's noticing and learning during their sessions. We are grateful that we have found someone who our daughter will undoubtedly lean on for many years to come.

Kitty’s counsel has been invaluable to us as our young adult child with ASD has taken his first tentative steps toward adulthood. Kitty has helped me as a parent to identify when our son’s lack of forward movement is because something is objectively beyond reach or is, instead, based in fear of the unknown and requires some additional processing (and nudging forward!) For our son, working with Kitty has really helped him to develop the confidence to take his first steps into adulthood. She’s made an enormous difference in our lives.

Our family worked with Kitty to help my twin boys deal with their extreme social anxiety over the course of elementary and middle school years.  Kitty brought a creative and far-ranging set of tools to the challenge, from physical activity, to boardgames and play, to organizing, to art, and of course through talk.  She understands the local school system (which proved incredibly helpful), and her insight as a twin herself proved to be incredibly helpful in enabling the boys to gain a deeper and better understanding of self, and how to build the confidence and self-awareness to use the right strategy at the right time to deal with anxiety.  They are now strong, independent boys entering HS with all the skills and resources they need to thrive in their new environments.  Kitty was always responsive, incredibly kind and warm, and went the extra mile for us every time.  She remains an important part of our life, even though we have moved on from needing her services regularly.

Kitty Wicks has been my daughter’s therapist for over four years now. She is a warm compassionate professional who is truly invested in the well being of her clients. My daughter suffers from anxiety that can be debilitating at times. Kitty has been a huge source of support for her during some of her most challenging times. She has a unique ability to understand and connect, that really resonates with my daughter. She is whole heartedly committed to her profession. She doesn’t hesitate to go the extra mile or advocate for my daughter when necessary. Her experience, skill and empathetic nature truly make her an amazing therapist!
