REVIEWS
If you care about your child's mental health and physical safety, DO NOT use this therapist under any circumstances. Kalli's favorite method of practice is manipulation. She will say anything and everything during sessions to keep you coming back (and paying her), and then straight-up deny statements or claim to have "misspoken" when called out on them. Her top priority is scheduling sessions as often and as quickly as possible, with no regard to your child's physical, mental, or emotional concerns. After one 30-minute session, our daughter came out of her office bawling and refusing to ever speak to her again. She called our daughter a liar, accused us of manipulating her, and told our daughter that her concerns "were not important and not part of therapy." She constantly referenced a court document with our ELEVEN year old, telling her that "she had no choice and had to keep working with her, no matter how she felt". Our daughter cried the entire drive home, telling us that she was belittled, accused of lying, and told that she needed to just say and do what the therapist told her. Kalli insisted on referring to the birth mother as "mom" despite our child telling her how uncomfortable it made her numerous times.
Kalli also told all adults involved manipulative statements that served no purpose but to cause friction and distrust, making successful co-parenting virtually impossible. She would regularly tell one side one thing, and when it was addressed as a group, deny the statements or claim that we "misunderstood" her. She encouraged manipulative, unethical behavior between parents and attempted to pit them against each other. When we asked for billing summaries, it took almost two weeks to receive them, which was very concerning. She was constantly "forgetting" what we had discussed in previous sessions and did not do her research even though we had provided her with detailed files outlining the history of our case. She booked sessions back-to-back and never had "extra time" if we needed to ask questions or clarify things. I could go on and on.
After our awful experience, we did some Googling and found out that she often uses hypnosis-type therapies which is scary when working with children, as this was never discussed with us! We also found her listed on "Kink Awareness Professionals" and after reading her bio, it is clear that she will take on any and every sort of "client" if it means an extra paycheck.
I would give zero stars if I could. My sister (13 y/o) was involved in a family reunification process with her abusive father. At every given opportunity, Kalli undermined and negated my sisters feelings, opinions, and stories. Kalli was provided with recordings documenting instances of abuse and still managed to remain obtuse and take the side of the abuser. She is clearly not working in the best interest of children but rather working to serve her own ego in the pursuit of so-called "successful reunifications". My sister told Kalli directly that she did not feel safe or comfortable in participating in an in-person session to which Kalli responded by telling a 13 yer old child that she had no say in the process and would have to follow Kalli's timeline.(Not true and not legal). Kalli was so unsupportive and incompetent that my sister had to get her own lawyer to ensure that her voice was being heard.
She is unable to identify patterns and behaviors of abusers to the point that she was manipulated into believing blatant lies of the abuser. Kalli is completely unqualified to work with children or let alone anyone with a beating heart.
**Kalli will erase reviews she doesn't like if she is able too**
This "therapist" is the worst I have ever seen and I have work in the mental health field myself for almost 20 years. She has no regard for victims stating what they have been through and only acknowledges the person who is paying her the most. Once she is caught being dishonest about situations and shown to not be following correct client centered procedures she will try to attack others and defend herself instead of doing what is right and correcting herself. She will then falsify reports in an effort to retaliate. Her ego is much bigger than her abilities and heart which is very damaging to those she is to be helping.
