I agree with Bolton, beware of AR. She is rude and inhumane. This "Christian" counseling center was my worst experience yet. After they promised me a scholarship to attend counseling, they disappeared on me after I had trusted that therapist with details of my life to get some help and guidance. Likewise, after they promised to get me a "scholarship" for subsequent sessions, they just never called me again and just cancelled my profile with no explanation after I had taken my time to create it, describe my issues, and pay in full for a session I could not afford with the promise that I would get

Not only that, but my wife was REPEATEDLY allowed to be rude and mean in the counseling session to me, without a word from Denise, meanwhile I was called "abusive" for asking my wife, "Do you want

I have seen Denise Kirsop every other week for over 8 months. She has gently walked alongside me as I process, grieve, and move beyond an abusive Christian marriage and divorce. Denise created a safe space (in both marital counseling and our individual sessions), has made sure I dont get stuck anywhere in the healing process, and consistently speaks Biblical Truth. I especially appreciate her ability to help me distinguish where my responsibility does and does not lie in all this mess, in a kind way, giving me a clear picture of myself (both the good and the bad), something
