Personal Note from Dr. Kidder I have dedicated my life to helping others. It gives meaning and purpose and a great sense of gratification to be a catalyst for positive change in the lives of those who seek my services. I am a Christian and pray each and every day that God will work through me to be a healing force in the lives of my patients. I see miracles happen. Even though I do my part, I am nothing without God’s powerful influence in the therapeutic process. Although I call upon and acknowledge the Holy Spirit in my work, I am a secular counselor. I do not provide religious, Biblical, or spriritual counseling. I promise you that if you seek my services, I will work tirelessly on your behalf. I am invested emotionally in helping you decrease suffering and increase happiness in your life. |
