Balanced Mind, LLC

“I cannot recommend Balanced Mind enough! I have been seeing Kristin since 2021 and to say that she has changed my life would be an understatement. I initially started my therapy journey with another practice and immediately knew it wasn't a good fit. That is when I found Balanced Mind and was matched with Kristin. We immediately clicked and I knew she was a safe space for me. She always created a judgement free environment and provided multiple suggestions for ways to tackle different things that I would go through. Everyone on the staff that I had contact with was always very helpful and kind, and they provide a welcoming and comfortable space. Balanced Mind has been such a blessing in my life!”

“Our experience w/ Balanced Mind has been wonderful, more specifically w/ Kristin Riding! She is by far the best therapist we’ve worked w/ & in our situation we’ve had multiple over the years. Kristin is an advocate for the children she works w/ so much so that she candidly tells anyone involved that she is there for them. She offers other service recommendations as needed & to say she’s gone above & beyond is an understatement!! She whole heartedly works for her client w/ patience, kindness, compassion & empathy. She shares her wealth of knowledge, continued education & life experience to help her client's find peace, balance, their voices!!! We are forever grateful for her support & highly recommend her to anyone in need. We absolutely appreciated that she understood that life comes first, therapy is to enhance life not deter it. If she didn’t know something (rare) she researched it. I did notice other reviews that were so mis-telling from our experience that I was compelled to share our story. She validated our loved one, she bore confidence in them & this year when our entire area was overwhelmed w/ sicknesses & having child aged kids, germs spread & schools don’t allow kids to come sick, & not everyone has natural supports or multiple backups, so we all had to rearrange schedules as necessary & she did everything possible to understand & accommodate! Her patient said she’ll never see anyone else ever again cause she’s that good. She challenges them/all of us. Also worth noting, Brittany in intake was also amazing!! These two ladies have given us hope again & we thank them for everything!!!”

“I have been seeing Kristin since 2021, and I cannot recommend her enough! I originally began seeing her for issues with PPD, but she has helped me with so much more than that. She has been there for me weekly over these past three years to help me overcome a lot of trauma that I unknowingly buried over the years. I am a different person, wife, and mother now because of Kristin's help. As a working mom, she has been great with flexibility so I can always fit sessions into my busy schedule. She is always quick to answer texts and emails. She is free from judgement and her office is always comfortable and welcoming. I will always recommend Kristin and Balanced Mind to those who ask for therapist recommendations!”

“I had the same experience with Kristen as the most recent review (Cassie). Always canceling my sessions and then recommend I see an out patient program. She always mentioned her ADHD and how she has a hard time focusing. Maybe she should choose a different career? She totally dropped me and I never heard from her again. Think about what that does to someone who needs help with depression/bipolar. All this did is make me not seek out help anymore. Would not recommend this place. Edit - revoking my previous edit saying how great they are. Yes, Brittany helped me. Except the next days later, four random 5 star reviews came out, one of them discrediting my and Cassie's review, the other two basically saying the exact same thing over and over again, and another one which may have just been a regular review they threw in because it made it seem normal. Discrediting my experience and others DOES NOT make you a good therapy place. Begging people to rate you after two bad reviews DOES NOT make you a good therapy place, and begging me to change MY review after have two calls with you DOES NOT make you a good therapy place. I will never, ever recommend this place if this is how they are going to treat people who have bad experiences. Unbelievable. Do not contact me again.”
