- Jessica Slotnick, LCSW-R, ACSW Psychotherapist NYC

" I was introduced to Kathy in early 2007 when my husband was very ill. With her knowledge and experience, Kathy was able to help me to under-stand the medical situation with professional compassion. She educated and empowered me to make and be comfortable with the choices and decisions that I needed to make at this difficult time. Kathy's advice was of great help...and her emotional support was invaluable. "
