Listening with Compassion

With two Master Degrees in Counseling & Human Resource Development and Secondary Education, many years of experience, and continuing education, Kelly Ritzman is here to listen and understand your perspective and feelings. Emotions are events each person interprets differently, yet often with similar themes. We each go through the steps of grieving associated with pain and loss. How we learn to cope can determine how we come out on the other side. Kelly appreciates that it can be challenging to share your trauma or other experience and the emotions you may be feeling, but she is there to listen, empathize and assist in the way you find most helpful. If you are looking for someone who seeks to understand your unique story and unconditionally support you through the counseling process – then look no further than Ritzman Counseling Services.
