For people who do like to read lengthy reviews, here are the reasons why Kirk is an amazing therapist and why he deserves to be checked out:
I originally thought that therapists were stern and authoritarian (à la Judge Judy, dressed in her black robe with its white laced-collar, telling me how I screwed up my life), but Kirk has proven to be the exact opposite. He is patient, nonjudgmental, possess a great sense of humor, and he always respects his clients. Kirk gives advice, not orders. (And so far he has never shown up to a session wearing a black robe with a white laced-collar.) Kirk is also accommodating to his client's circumstances with a flexible schedule and a generous sliding scale. Last, but in some ways the most important, Kirk has a superb sense of multicultural sensitivity because although he is a Caucasian from the Midwest, he can understand the issues of an Asian Hawaiian Islander like me. Kirk has guided me through several personal and professional difficulties over the years and I have greatly benefited from his keen knowledge and insightfulness. I feel incredibly fortunate to have Kirk as my therapist. Kirk has earned a most heartfelt Mahalo ("thank you") from me. read more
