I had a wonderful experience with Kristle J. Small Counseling Group. Scheduling was incredibly easy, and the team made the entire process seamless from start to finish. The professionals here are warm, understanding, and truly committed to supporting your mental health journey. I felt comfortable and cared for from my very first session. I’m looking forward to continuing with them long-term and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking compassionate, professional care.

Chanel is a phenomenal therapist. I began working with her after having my first daughter. Although I’ve discharged from tx a few weeks ago, I am eternally grateful for her support.

I was charged a $90 fee for trying to reschedule my appointment the night before 18 hours before to be exact. I tried to work out the mater with the therapist she talked to the office and they denied to waive my fee after months of going to this therapist and supporting the business I decided not to support there business anymore. Keep in mind when the therapist had a emergency a hour before in the past she rescheduled with no problem and I understand stood. I was just asking for the same understanding. Guess I wasn’t important enough

I was looking forward to connecting with a therapist in this office but the process has been so incredibly frustrating. I was first scheduled with a therapist for my initial session and she never joined. When I called the office, I was told that I was scheduled in error because that therapist did not work on that day. They booked me for another day and the therapist did join (though late) we had an ok session. She scheduled me for my next session and when I joined the next session, she never joined. I called the office again and asked for another therapist. They scheduled me with Kristle herself which I was excited about because I presume she is the owner. She had to cancel our first session 10 minutes prior because she didn’t have power — annoying given my previous experience but I understood. She scheduled me for a week later and I haven’t heard from her since. She did not join the session nor did she respond to my texts. I think as mental health professionals that are supposed to help people dealing with mental difficulties this is so unprofessional and unacceptable. Stay away from this office, it’s not worth the burden and stress.

What a GREAT group of people. They have some really talented therapists who work here. Make sure to say specifically what you are looking for when you call to find a therapist, they have a lot of people who specialize in different things. They definitely take Blue Cross insurance, which is amazing! The wait list was not too long, only a few weeks.

Kristle is a PHENOMENAL therapist and colleague. Each session I have had with her has been incredibly helpful. She is personable and always has a smile on her face! Kristle provides sound, detailed advice as she carefully listens to everything I have to say. In addition, she is very professional which provides an even better experience. She has really helped me on my mental health journey and I would not trade my experience with her for the world. I look forward to every session we have together!

★★★★★★★★★★Elizabeth JoyMar 2020

Kristle is an amazing therapist. Since working with her, I have been able to gain the necessary skills to cope with the unexpected and completely alter the way I view myself, others, and situations. I am able to completely transparent, and she offers non-judgmental suggestions on how I can improve negative thought-patterns. She is kind, caring, a great listener, and very professional. I highly recommend Kristle to anyone seeking professional counseling.

★★★★★★★★★★Kaliah SmallsJan 2020

Kristle is excellent in so many ways! Working with her has help to change the way in which I view myself and my surroundings in a majorly positive way. She makes sure to offer her expertise in a way that doesn't seem condescending or preachy but more so an ushering to help you realize these things on your own. I would recommend her to anyone that is seeking professional counseling in any form as she is the best!

★★★★★★★★★★Dr. Brittany TooleJan 2020

As my professional confidant and personal friend, I recommend Kristle for her gifted talent in psychological counseling. She’s understanding, open-minded and easy to talk to. Professional laws prevent us from formalizing a patient-counselor relationship but as a doctor, I refer ALL of my patients to her for their psychological needs and concerns. She’s the best! She has my highest recommendation! 🙌🏾

★★★★★★★★★★Kamia SmithDec 2019
