Testimonials

"I am a psychologist who has mentored and collaborated with Kerry for the past 5 years. I can truly say she is one of the wisest, most compassionate, and authentic therapists I have ever known. I highly recommend her, especially for whip smart professionals who are stuck and willing to work and grow toward their best success." - Stacey Bromberg, PhD

Dr. Makin-Byrd did a presentation for our Professional Development series on Caring for the Caregiver. Her presentation was very engaging, informative, and had a lot of useful suggestions. Her ability to pivot during the pandemic and provide this talk virtually allowed us to reach a broader audience. I highly recommend Dr. Makin-Byrd! - Colorado ABCD

I am a psychologist, and I have shared an office with Kerry for the last three years (not a client). She is caring and empathic, with a great sense of humor. She is one of the most dedicated clinicians I've had the pleasure to work with, and it is clear she takes her job seriously even though she has a lot of fun with it. She is always up-to-date with the latest research and empirically-based methods, and I enjoy her writing style. I wish she could be my therapist! -Maximillian Wachtel

I am a clinical psychologist and Director of a workforce development initiative who has collaborated with Kerry for years. She recently provided an excellent training for us that was incredibly well received. Can't recommend her enough! - Shannon Bekman
