“I've been working with Mary Kay for a while now, and I can’t recommend her enough. She has this incredible ability to be both attentive and strong in our sessions. She truly listens without judgment, and when she offers insight, it's thoughtful, grounded, and empowering. What I appreciate most is that she never pushes or pressures; instead, she gently helps you uncover your own clarity and strength. If you're looking for someone who creates a safe space while still challenging you to grow, she’s exactly that. I’m so grateful to have found her and would confidently recommend her to anyone seeking meaningful support.”

“I've been seeing Dr. Knight for a while now, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, especially when it comes to trauma, and that really helped me feel like I was in good hands from day one. What really makes her stand out is how safe and comfortable she makes you feel. She has this calming presence, a great sense of humor, and just really knows how to put you at ease—even when talking about tough stuff. I never felt judged or awkward, just supported and understood. If you're looking for a therapist who really gets it and makes the whole process feel a little lighter (in the best way), I highly recommend her.”

Dr. Knight was easy to get to know and made me feel comfortable even when talking about things that were more stressful. Very easy to talk to and knows a lot about CBT

Thank you Dr. Knight for your all of your help. I appreciate your balance of empathy and professionalism. Very experienced without being out of touch.
Dr. Knight has been great to work with so far. I love using humor and she found a nice balance of focus and using humor to lighten things. As someone who had not been to therapy before she was patient and took time to explain what I could expect.
Mary Kay is very approachable and listens without judging. I was going through a really hard time recently and she was able to help me work through my emotions and have a plan for dealing with things in the future. I can't recommend her enough!
Dr. Knight is friendly, personable and professional. I've been in therapy much of my adult life and have good and bad experiences. Dr. Knight is one of the good experiences for sure.
Mary Kay is awesome! She down to earth, relatable and very professional. She really listens and tries to understand my point of view. We've only been working together for a little while but I'm really glad to have met her. I can't recommend her enough.
Dr. Knight is an excellent psychologist; she is professional, empathic, intentional, nonjudgmental, and really listens. She really ran with my goals and helped me make a good treatment plan to accomplish those. You can tell she really cares about what she does.
Dr. Knight took her time making me feel at ease and had a good mix of professional words, without making it hard to follow. I felt like she genuinely cared about what I bringing into session. She was great about answering questions related to previous diagnoses I had gotten.
I cannot recommend Dr. Knight highly enough. She is an incredible therapist—compassionate, attentive, and truly supportive. From our first session, I felt safe and understood. Her guidance has helped me gain clarity, build healthier habits, and feel more confident in myself. I’m very grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life.
