I first met Kathryn DeBruin as she was teaching and supervising client cases as an Emotional Focused Couple/Family therapist. She is outstanding and is considered a leader amongst her peers. I am also keen to refer cases involving children to her as she is expert with kids! I respectfully refer to Kathryn as the real life Mary Poppins; meet her one time and you will know what I mean. I have referred her over and over and have always believed (and been told by her clients) that her work with them has been positively life changing. Call her; you will not be sorry.

Kathryn is incredibly professional and kind to work with! I had the benefit of attending one of her marriage conferences with Dr Mark Maxwell and it was fantastic. I highly recommend Kathryn to anyone in need of therapy for any reason at all. She will be there for you.

My wife and I spent two days working with Kathryn, and when we left, words used to describe how we felt were: energized; hopeful; strong; happy; validated; engaged. The two days were filled with a variety of emotions and experiences for both of us, and Kathryn expertly guided us to feel those, work through those, answer questions individually, and allowed us to be there for each other. We are a high functioning and loving couple of 10 years, but also new there were items we wanted to work. We saw Kathryn’s credentials, met her to discuss what we needed, and decided she was a fit. I am glad to see we were 100% spot on with that. Personally, I was amazed that she was able to help me process emotions with words, as that is not a strength. I saw her be there for my wife, reassure her, and empower her. We can’t thank Kathryn enough for what tools she has provided us, and we’re eager to get better as a couple with her qualified guiding hand.

Kathryn de Bruin is amazing. The training I did with her in Emotionally Focused Therapy four years ago changed my life and since then I make sure I get supervision from her whenever I can. She is a highly skilled therapist, supervisor and trainer. She has a huge heart and is very dedicated, passionate and full of positive energy. If you have the good fortune of working with her, you are blessed! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Kathryn is kind, knowledgeable, and deeply compassionate. She brings great understanding of human connection and its vital role on the emotional, mental, and physical health of others. She is an attentive and an active listener. Her easy and natural ability to empathize makes everyone feel safe to express who they are and what they are going through without judgement. She brings a highly trained, yet down to earth presence with her no matter the setting, whether she is training other therapists, using play to reach children, or teaching a couples seminar. She knows her stuff, but no one ever feels uncomfortable around her. I highly recommend Kathryn as a therapist, trainer, or conference speaker. Whatever role you find yourself requiring her services, you will only wish youd met her sooner

Kathryn de Bruin is an exceptional therapist. I highly recommend her. I have been doing consultation with her for several months. She knows the EFT model well and can teach it with ease. If you a looking for a therapist or a supervisor go to Kathryn. It has been my honor to work with her.

I have had the pleasure of attending two trainings co-led by Kathryn. I found her teaching style to be a beautiful balance between informative and captivating.

I experienced Kathryn as an couple trainer and personal mentor.
