I have known Michelle Ebell-Knight since 1999 and I have had the pleasure of watching her grow and develop into such an amazing therapist. Michelle is always so warm and welcoming with everyone she encounters. She shows empathy, passion for her work, and she is caring. Michelle is always working to improve herself professionally by keeping up to date with new trainings and data. I know she strives for the wellness of her patients and puts her whole heart into her work

I met Michelle Knight about 10 years ago while working together as therapists at Highlands University. I am fortunate that we became good friends! Michelle is a caring, warm and empathetic person who is very easy to talk to. She is also one of the most ethical and professional therapists I know. Michelle also has a wonderful sense of humor and is very relatable to her clients. I highly recommend her!

I have known and worked with Patti over the past 9 years, first as her supervisor at the start of her counseling career while she worked for my agency Southwest Family Guidance Center. I watched her evolve and develop as a professional in our field over those years until she launched out on her own as an independently licensed therapist. She has evolved into an exceptional clinician with the highest level of professional competency and integrity. Her relational skills and passion for her work are extraordinary. It's been a privilege to partner her in her professional and personal journey as a therapist. I highly recommend her.

I have known Esperanza Marquez since 1992. I first met her when she was a college student and I served as her Pastor. She was an astute student, a hard worker with a great work ethic. She and I served briefly as a counseling team but I very quickly released her to do solo counseling at the church. Since then has had much schooling and some great work experience. She is highly ethical and a great listener. She is sensitive to people's needs. She has successfully worked through many difficult issues in her own life and has overcome those with success. I would highly recommend Esperanza as a counselor.

I have know Patti Smith for many years. Long before she was a licensed therapist, she was the "friend therapist". Her friends always knew that they could discuss anything on their mind with Patti and she would be a quiet listener, ask meaningful questions and, without giving instructions, guide people to find the answers for themselves. She is caring, ethical and professional when it comes to her business and her clients can only benefit from her skills.
