Why Healthcare
Therapy was a huge help in Katherineās life, particularly as a young adult. Among many other things, therapy helped her leave a high control group and forge her own path, and helped her to understand the impact of a relativeās narcissistic personality disorder on her own well-being. Katherine left her job in the corporate world in 2005, finding meaning in helping others heal as well.
