Our Clients' Transformation
I am an interfaith chaplain and spiritual director and have experienced spiritual and therapeutic accompaniment in numerous settings and modalities; among all of them, Kessuda's approach is totally unique. Some therapists may not reach the spiritual dimensions of the human person and some spiritual guides may not grasp the nuances of personality psychology, but Kessuda integrates mindfulness practice, personality psychology, and counseling techniques in a seamless fabric of holistic care. I have felt nurtured in body, mind, heart, and spirit. Because her feedback is so specific and because she uses the Enneagram model of the human psyche as a framework for self-understanding, I have grown in self-awareness more quickly and effectively than in other settings without such a helpful paradigm. She has helped me to understand how the dynamics of personality affect my relationships and communication style, and she has given me inspiration for my own clinical work with others. Her group sessions have also introduced me to a vibrant and enriching community of learning. Lastly, it'd be impossible not to mention how warm, kind, and trust-worthy she is. I recommend that anyone engaged in the journey of self-understanding contact Kess to see if she can be of help!
