Affirming Pathways Psychotherapy, LLC

“My partner and I had pretty horrible experience seeing kira, and it was only 2 sessions. Charged us both on the first visit (me twice) then sent him my payment over a week later Automatic rebooked us both times a week from then without discussing it Told me to get my own personal therapist when healing my hurt feelings was brought up in couples therapy then immediately moved on Opened up the second session trying to convince us to break up and went on about how it'll be really difficult if we want to stay together, even though she knew our point was to stay together and told us in the first session that we were more than capable of working through things? Told us a few minutes before the end of our second session, leaving us on a pretty rough emotional note, that no she can't take 5 minutes with us to debrief and decompress after the session but we should sit back to back and breathe I reached out for resources, after she said she'd send free support options and only sent very expensive ones, and she never responded to me but when my partner reached out days later to ask about it she said she was working on it, and then we never heard from her again. Her colleague however, who my partner sees individually, took no time sending some when asked later! I found the whole experience very unprofessional and unhelpful. Looking at us blankly and saying "how does that make you feel" after I just expressed my feelings and am now expecting advice, felt like being in a bad adult cartoon.”

“I’ve been seeing Kira Hayes for over a year, and I can’t thank her enough for the positive impact she’s had on my life. From day one, Kira created a safe, welcoming environment where I felt completely understood and accepted. As a super LGBTQ+ friendly therapist, she helped me overcome my fear of coming out publicly and guided me to embrace my true self. With Kira's support, I’ve learned to love myself, take care of my well-being, and live authentically. She has an incredible way of making you feel like you’re a part of her family, which is so important for anyone seeking comfort and understanding. If you’re looking for a therapist who genuinely cares, is incredibly compassionate, and is committed to helping you grow, I can’t recommend Kira Hayes enough. She has truly made a profound difference in my life, and I am forever grateful for her guidance.”

“I can’t express enough how wonderful it is here. Kira is the kind of counselor who truly sees you and makes you feel the most comfortable to share and discover what the issues are, where the root is, and how to address them. I’ve seen many counselors, but Kira was able to see what they had been missing previously.”
