I believe in this type of Field the only thing the company can do is to continue hiring people who have the same mindset and teaching as Kyle Kunkel. She has been everything I needed, and more she has the mindset and the teaching to really guide you through your journey. I believe if you have more coaches like this that do not judge and have an open mind. I believe this will not only help the company thrive but help the patients thrive Through their journey through life.

Darwin is patient and kind on top of being highly professional, very skilled at what he does, and incredibly informed about trauma. He has helped me through some of the worst experiences in my life and has changed the way my brain can process stress. I recently dealt with the suicide of a close friend. Darwin's help was immeasurable. Thank you for supporting clients and for having such great therapists at the practice.
