TESTIMONIALS
"Kimberly Brenner is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. I was overwhelmed and skeptical when my mom suggested that I see a counselor for all the problems I was going through at the time in my life, and I couldn't urge everyone else enough to reach out to her as well, becasue she is the real deal. She helped me put my life back in order by putting things into perscpective. Over just a few months I had made some major improvements in my life. She is patient and made me feel very comfortable. She creates an environment that I didn't feel akward in. I never saw myself speaking to anyone about my personal problems but I am glad I did... She is a true diamond in the rough, and if anyone is considering seeking treatment, this is one person that will do right by you. To her her her patients are individuals and not just insurance holders or dollar signs. I was even able to call her outside of business hours and she was more than willing to help me out. I give her a Five Star recommendation for sure."
Good Luck and Best Wishes, J.D.
"Kimberly Brenner's office feels like home from the moment you walk in. She doesn't use the "one-size-fits-all" brand of therapy, and uses many different techniques to get to the root of the issues and then helps diligently in overcoming them. I have been seeing her for a few months and the changes in me have been dramatic and very positive. I have a whole new outlook on life and look forward to the sessions to come. Mrs. Brenner really listens and not just looks at the clock and is never too busy to return a phone call. No matter how hard the emotions are to deal with, I know I am not alone. I trust her to help me find my path again, and guide the path of my six year old child who can't wait to talk to her every week, when he was once terrified to talk to a therapist. I beleive this is because she treats him like an individual, unique to the world and talks to him and not just a child sitting before her. She is amazing and I would recommend Kimberly Brenner to everyone I know trhat needs someone to talk to, no matter what level their problems have reached." Ramona C
"When I came to see Kimberly for the first time, I realized that my prayers had been answered. I have been in and out of therapy since I was a teenager and I am 38 now. I suffered from the "What Is Wrong With Me?" syndrome. Kimberly changed that sentence to "What Is Wrong With This Situation?" and my life has never been the same. I can honestly and confidently say that I am healing while living. Just because we are breathing does not mean we are living. I walk with my head up and look people in their eyes - no longer do I carry my shame!"

"To have found Kimberly at a critical stage of my life was a blessing (September 2005-May 2008). I was about 31, and I was tired of being tired of how my life turned into suffering. It is said that when the student is ready the teacher will appear. Kimberly has been my teacher. She believed in me, and I needed this. I worked from that point to learn new ways of being. I am so thankful to Kimberly because I have not given up. I apply the knowledge and skills she shared with me so that I can have a life that I can feel happy about. I am very grateful to Kimberly. No words can ever truly express how I feel as the result of Kimberly's dedication to helping me be the person I was meant to be. Thank you with all my heart. " Namaste, LHB

"I would like to thank Mrs. Brenner for all the help, the listening and the understanding of myself and the needs of my children. Thank you for being there in all our tuff times of need, for all the good advice you have given us, but most of all thank you for being youself and helping us through all of our bad times, for making a difficult time into a happy and understanding situation. My children have connected with you. They say you are their second mom, the mom with wisdom, the mom that taught them how to be themselves again and to me that means a great deal. " Thank you again and may God Bless You Always. L.C.
"Kimberly Brenner is passionate about helping others. Her words just open up my mind & eyes to things I did not have clear. She makes us feel so comfortable to open up and express feelings we even when you did not not know you had them. Coming to see her has been the best choice I made in bringing up my children. It does not mean I am not capable, it just means that there is someone out there willing to walk in your shoes and offer some advice. Even if it means slapping you in the face with a white glove. Learn to be open mineded of things you didn't want to hear. "Big thanks & praise to Mrs. Brenner, Surviving Single Parent
"As a single parent with one child having anxiety issues at a young age life seemed out of control. My daughter and I couldn't interact. Misbehavior and fighting were "the norm". Mrs. Brenner helped each of us together and individually to learn to bond, talk, trust and respect one another. The most devasting part for me was to be told that my own child had never bonded with me. It has taken a lot of patience, many battles and tears through our growing experience. We both have found a sense of closure to our issues and take it one day at a time. My daughter and I are closer and we have Mrs. Brenner to thank for that. Her insight, caring and knowledge was a truly a godsend for us." I am very grateful, "Pulling our my hair" no more
"It is not easy for children to open up and express how they feel. As a mother of four boys - one with bipolar/ADHD it is hard to teach them how to interact and react to each other. Mrs. Brenner was able to teach my son how to interact with other kids of the same age without the anger or outbreaks. It has been a blessing having Mrs. Brenner to go to and learn techniques needed to raise my boys. She has helped our family tremendously and we are grateful for that" A Truly Grateful Family
"I had the feeling that my child needed a therapist not only because he had ADHD but because we went through a very hard and difficult time. So I kept looking for the right person for almost a year. Sometimes I got so discouraged and sad because I couldn't find one but I kept praying and calling places until I was referred to Mrs. Brenner, she is simply AWESOME! After only two session my son improved at school, things at home were much better as well as his behavior everywhere else. She is the kind of person in which I can trust, she really knows what she is doing and the best part is I feel that she wants the best for my son. We are doing so much better now and it's a priviledge working with her, she is a blessing in our lives. She is so well prepared to do what she does: HELPING FAMILIES." Proud and Single Mom with 2 boys
"We came to Mrs. Brenner with a son gripped by fear, anxiety and depression. Session after session we have grown together as a family and learned to understand each other so much better. Mrs. Brenner is gentle, straightforward and down-to-earth. Her approach opened our eyes, but especially our son's eyes. He is beeming confidence and is better equipped to handle his emotions and stand up for himself. What a difference she has made! Thank you Mrs. Brenner." Seeing the Sunshire after the Storm
"Mrs. Brenner's office feel like home and I feel like I can talk to her about anything." P. O.
"As a single mother of two kids, having to send them to their father who was very traumatizing to them I did not know what to do. Mrs. Brenner helped them and me understand how to communicate to make things better for them. I remember how my son would cry and act out in anger. Now he is respectful and responsible. He has seen Mrs. Brenner for two years now and we will continue when other issues arrise. I have recommended her to my clients and friends and all of them have loved the help and support they have received from her. My daughter has become so fond of Mrs. Brenner that she asked if she would afficiate my wedding. This is a therapist I trust." Leticia Pena
"My name is Lupe Duran and I would like to share with you my journey that almost took my life. I was on the edge of a cliff and felt alone in this world. Until somebody got me by the hand and helped me find my way out of darkness. This is my story on how I was at the a dead end and found help to guide me where I am today. My story begins during the time my children already left home and I was going through menopause. I had just retired and found out my husband was having an affair again. I was completley devastated when I heard of the news and felt abandoned and betrayed. I was sure I was going to lose my mind because it was full of anger. Just when I thought things were going to get worse, I met a friend that was going though the same situation. She told me that she went to counseling and it helped her get through her difficult time. I didn't call Mrs. Brenner at first because I thought I could handle it myself but I found out that it was a big mistake to try and do this alone. So one day I broke down at work and decided to call her because I couldn't control my emotions any longer. When I met Mrs. Brenner I was still crying and she immediately took me into her arms and assured me that everything was going to be alright. At that moment I felt safer than I had in a long time. I continued on with my sessions and learned so much about myself that I never realized before. She taught me to start seeing things in a different light. She has also prepared me for anything that can come my way in life and given me the ability to make solid decisions. I am very grateful that she came into my life and lifted me up from my darkness. Mrs. Brenner has shown me that life is beautiful and I should enjoy every moment of it. She has made me understand that life will give you good and bad times. But the bad times are there for us to learn from them and make us stronger. Every time I go to my session I always learn something new and it has been a great journey for me. I wish I could tell you every single thing that has changed in my life because of her but this testimony would be as long as the Bible. She has changed me and taught me to take care of myself so that I can take care of ohters. I hope this story will enlighten those who are going through the same turmoil as I did and seek professional help and start a new life with a new you."
"After 31 years of marriage, I finally had the strength to leave a very dysfunctional relationship. Drug abuse, alcoholism, and both physical and emotional abuse were things that I lived with for so many years and I didn't think that I was worthy of anything better. During the marriage, I was lonely, unsupported, and never was able to feel like I had any right to have my own needs met, or that I deserved it. I knew I needed counseling because my self-esteem and self-worth were absolutely non-existent. just making that first step to try to help myself was even more difficult than being in the abusive relationship. I called Kimberly Brenner's office and lo and behold, she was the person that answered the phone. That was probably the reason I had the courage to walk into her office a few weeks later. What a refreshing suprise to feel so welcomed in her office. Walking through the door of her office made me feel comfortable and safe. Since that day, which was several months ago, I have never felt better about myself. Kimberly Brenner is a therapist that separates you from the traumas of life and makes you look at these bad situation from a different perspective. She takes you away from these bad situations and makes you a stronger person, a person that you like again, and a person that doesn't need to allow or deserve to be treated badly by anyone. Then you look back at those bad situations and your way thinking has changed. She teaches you things that help change your way of thinking and behavior so that you have the tools to work with towards a future that is positive and filled with promise. Talking to her is like talking to a wise sister or friend that helps you see life through a different pair of eyes while always maintaining a perofessional therapist-patient relationship. Yes, there is more hard work ahead but I can see that I am capable and strong enough to deal with life, to forgive and have compassion for my ex-husband, and not forget how I got into that dysfunctional relationship. Most importantly, I have gained insight and tools so that I don't fall back. I look forward to each and every appointment I have with her. She is awesome. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Kimberly."
