Testimonials

So you’re looking for a therapist for yourself or a loved one. You’ve come to the right place.

If you’ve found your way to this page, you’re probably being very thorough in your search process. Good for you. It’s an important decision you’d like to make right on the first try. Information is critical at this point, and the more, the better. The testimonials below reflect just a sample of the praise we have received from clients who have invited us to partner with them in their care.

With that in mind, we have created this space to support your research. We’ve begun a process of “crowdsourcing” feedback from our current and former clients to develop a bank of information about our office, staff, and, most importantly, our clinicians.  In addition, when we find sources of information about Kentlands Psychotherapy online, we will share them with you on this page.

So, we welcome you to come back for updates and to see how this resource grows. Perhaps at some point, if you settle on one of our clinicians, you can “pay it forward” by offering your feedback to help the next person who, like you, is looking for the “just right” therapist.

QUALITATIVE REPORTS

 

On Dr. Krista Beyer:

"Dr. Beyer brings a wealth of experience to the table. She is very perceptive, very supportive, and has a sense of empathy and compassion that are unmatched. I don't have enough nice things to say about my experience with Dr. Beyer. She likes to speak in metaphors, which REALLY helps me understand the point she is making, and she doesn't judge me no matter what I tell her. I would recommend her to anyone."

"After working with my husband for several months, Dr. Beyer got him to be able to hear what I've been trying to tell him for over eight years! I finally feel heard and closer to him than I have ever felt."

"We both really like Dr. Beyer and feel she cares about both of us and does not take sides."

On Elsy Estrada:

"[My Daughter] is so excited to see you! Literally counting down the minutes. She tells me, 'I really like Ms. Elsy, and I really like talking about my feelings with her!"

"We've seen a lot of I'm improvements since [our son] has been coming to see you. We would not have been able to do it without you!"

“. . . She’s opened up more to us. Actual genuine talks about her feelings. My husband and I are shocked. And that’s all to you, so I wanted to thank you”

On Dr. Elizabeth Carr:

"Dr. Carr is my ace. As a primary care provider, I appreciate knowing a patient I refer to Dr. Carr will receive thoughtful, highly skilled care. I receive glowing feedback from everyone I refer to her."

"Kentlands Psychotherapy must be a wonderful place. I see Dr. Elizabeth Carr there every week & she's terrific!"

"Dr Carr helped me think through a very difficult situation. I felt like she was very knowledgeable and helped me to consider all the angles without pushing me in any particular direction. She's a good listener and very caring."

"I could not have gotten through this without you. I appreciate you so much and our time together."

"I feel so much better every time I come here."

"We've made more progress here in the last three sessions than we did in a year of work with the other couples therapist!"
