More About Counseling

"As a previous client, I can say Kenosis gently invited me into healing at a time when counseling was scary and intimidating. I am thankful for not only the professional way they conduct business, but mostly for the caliber of counselors and staff. As a therapist, I can say I often refer people to Kenosis where I know they will receive safe, professional, and deep care in their stories."

"Super supportive and well-trained staff that do their best to ensure every experience a client has with them is a positive one. Not only that, but Kenosis also strives to be an active contributor to the betterment of our community through its participation in so many of our community mental health events! Cannot recommend this practice enough!"

"I was cautious about counseling at first. Then I found Kenosis. I'm glad I came and would do so again if I needed to."

"Our kids are going to have a happy Christmas because of the counseling here. The people we worked with were empathetic but also very practical. I highly recommend this place."

"The therapy dogs are absolutely ADORABLE and Christine Turo-Shields is extremely talented! She helped me open up and be honest to myself, which is quite difficult. She helps other gifted individuals too, plus people of all ages and whoever needs to empty themselves a little and refill with better, more positive and powerful emotions. Thank you all so much for all that you do!"

"We've been clients at Kenosis Counseling with Christine Turo-Shields for nine months and have seen a tremendous positive change. Christine has a professional and personal approach, making her clients feel heard and understood. Her expertise in anxiety, depression, and gifted clients has been invaluable in the treatment delivery we've received. Kenosis is such an incredible resource!"

"There isn't one therapist without great experience who excels in his/her role. I send kids and youth to them all the time."

"I was previously a patient of Alishia Elliott, and I found her to be a therapist who balances a firm yet compassionate approach. Her use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) was incredibly effective for me, as it helped me challenge and reframe my thinking and personal beliefs. I highly recommend Alishia as a therapist, whether for yourself or your teenager."

"Kenosis is a safe place for me and my criteria for safe places is long because of all I've been through."

"Experienced staff who can help with a variety of mental health issues. They treat women, men and teens. They also offer a variety of group sessions, if that is more appropriate for your needs."

"I started working with Christine at Kenosis in 2018 and I’ve been thankful for her wisdom and guidance in the years since. Not only have I had support navigating some of the most turbulent times of my life, I’ve gained reliable tools for resilience. During my time with Christine and the Kenosis team, I’ve grown from a directionless, albeit enthusiastic, young man into a driven individual on the path to achieving my long-term goals. I highly recommend Kenosis, particularly for gifted individuals seeking clarity and growth."

"Three therapists later I finally found what I was looking for at Kenosis. Answers, Understanding & Healing."

"I recently witnessed Christine present on “The Spiritual Journey of Grief” to my church’s Stephen Ministry. I have seen her present several times before. Each time I’m struck by her energy, up to date knowledge, and her genuineness. She connects with her audience in a very personal and personable way. As a retired psychotherapist with 43 years of experience, I’ve seen dozens (hundreds?) of presentations. I highly recommend Christine to you and your organization!"

"I've had therapy here on and off since 2020 and they have helped me get through some dark times. The hourly rate for an intern therapist is affordable."
