Karson S. Kinikini, CMHC 2363 North Hill Field Road, Layton, UT 84041

"When I was a child; I had gone through some pretty significant trauma. I went from counselor to counselor for years, trying to find the right fit. Trying to help me get through the trauma and nothing worked. Eventually I "worked it out" on my own. I basically just ignored it all and called it good. Until my current marriage, when my husband told me he wanted to find someone else because I "need to take care of those demons" from my past. That's when I realized, that 15 years of suppressing the past and thinking I was behind it was not true. I found Karson because he was the only person in my area that took my insurance and he accepted me; even though he was full. Karson, I cannot thank you enough. Honestly, the time I spent with you was truly hell, but it was a good hell. You made me reopen all those wounds, I felt like a child again and was so overcome with emotion every time I was out of your office. Yet, you lifted that fog of mine that I didn't know what there. I'm free, and I had no idea I was trapped. You freed me. You made me look those demons in the face and just smile. Show me that they have no hold on me. I never knew how bad it affected me until I found you and you got rid of them so easily. I don't know what that other negative review is about, but this guy is amazing. He even helped my mother, in ONE visit with me (when I was going through other stages of my own healing process). She was so impressed, that she is now his patient as well. I cannot recommend Karson enough, and I tell everyone who see's a difference in me, that it was all thanks to Karson. Thank you, Karson!"

"This review is hard to write. After considerable reflection about our time with Karson, I am forced to conclude that out time spent with Karson was not only a waste of time, but he did more damage than good. Some of his advise was well received, but most of it was downright hurtful and presumptuous. We went to be helped not damaged, and Karson's approach and his assumptions only made a difficult situation worse. After seeking help elsewhere, I have relized that our time spent with Karson was a waste during a critical junction. I believe counselors should help and build not help tare down. I would not recommend Karson as a therapist."
