What clients say

  • “William was great. He also had to deal with someone that isn’t always so open and upfront about my need for control and such. He have great exercises and tasks any many of those left me feeling almost “worse” but in a good way. A way that I know i need to look inward and figure out the root cause of my fear of all my changes and why I might not deserve new better things. I’m taking a break in general. But I’ll be back”
  • “Attentive, honest and helpful. Gave me resources to help outside of just therapy and pointed me in a better direction and helped establish goals and a journal”
  • “A Life-Changing Experience – Grateful Beyond Words<br /> When I first started therapy, I was in the midst of a very dark and complicated time in my life. I was going through a divorce, had lost my job, and was dealing with strained relationships within my family. I felt completely lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to even begin in picking up the pieces of my life.<br /> <br /> I had worked with other therapists before, but none of them came close to the support I found with William Kearns. From the very first session, I felt heard, understood, and supported in a way I never thought was possible. William Kearns brought a sense of calm and clarity that I desperately needed, guiding me through some of the most difficult decisions and emotions of my life.<br /> <br /> What truly sets William Kearns apart is not only their depth of expertise and insight, but their ability to offer practical, real-world advice. I was given actionable steps that made a tangible difference—like how to navigate tough conversations with my divorce lawyer and my ex-husband, which I hadn't received from any other therapist. This combination of emotional support and practical guidance has been invaluable in helping me regain control over my life during an incredibly challenging time.<br /> <br /> William Kearns didn’t just help me cope with my immediate challenges—they helped me rediscover who I am, my inner strength, and my sense of purpose. Through thoughtful questions, powerful tools, and unwavering encouragement, I was able to see a way forward and take meaningful steps toward healing and growth.<br /> <br /> Looking back, I am in awe of how far I’ve come. I feel more grounded, more at peace, and more in control of my life than I ever thought possible. I am beyond grateful for the support and guidance William Kearns has provided, and I can honestly say that they have helped me not just survive, but truly thrive again.<br /> <br /> If you are looking for a therapist who combines profound emotional insight with practical, actionable advice, I wholeheartedly recommend William Kearns. Their expertise, care, and unwavering support have made all the difference in my journey, and I am forever thankful.”
