“Kerry Wallis was very personable and gave the impression that he genuinely enjoys interacting with people. That’s not something I always feel from other therapists. He was also incredibly attentive, taking the time to explain the process in great detail, and you could tell he was excited to share the information. I recently had a session with a therapist, and it felt very transactional—each week, it was the same set of questions. But with Jerry, I never got the sense that he was just going through the motions. The last impression you want to walk away with as you bare your soul, is to feel the therapist is just going through the motions.
I'm sure he keeps track of time, as he must to manage his schedule, but it never felt like he was rushing or checking the clock. Vey satisfied.

“My visits with Kerry are always great. He provides me with DBT skills that help me manage my emotions. I have learned emotion regulation skills such as PAD (pause, assess, and decide) and I also feel my self esteem has risen because he helps me realize my self worth and value. ”

Kerry Wallis works early, late, on weekends... his availability and dedication (and flexibility) to his patients is unseen in that field.
The process of EMDR is quite a journey, it’s scary to step back into our trauma history but with Kerry Wallis alongside, it always feels like there is a safety net to dealing with your trauma. Safe, protected, accompanied step by step in this healing process.

The therapeutic process of EMDR administered by Kerry Wallis was extremely helpful in allowing me to process and come to terms with my past traumas. It allowed me to find peace within myself and develop forward looking mentalities so that many of my previous issues would no longer overwhelm me. I highly recommend his services.

Kerry is a thoughtful and patient therapist. He introduced me to EMDR, which was a new and powerful way for me to process traumas that have affected me for about a decade. He is flexible when it comes to scheduling and helped me transition from a weekly to bi-weekly schedule as my anxiety lessened. I know that if anything ever comes up I can call and schedule a session.

Kerry Wallace, has been my psychotherapist dating back to January of 2010. With my struggles and trauma I immediately found comfort and a level of trust build. Kerry has helped me immensely through my journey and healing. As time went on, My level of trust in his capability of helping me heal and find hope in the darkness only increased. I found a professional that to this day, continue to heal and trust and become vulnerable to open doors to find my truth and purpose. Mr. Wallace never gave up hope on me even when I saw no light. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated therapist struggling with anything. I know he has the experience to help anyone. I continue to work with him to date, therefore I have the evidence of being the woman I am today from his guidance and qualifications.
