About Kahl Counseling

Nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, Kahl Counseling offers compassionate, professional support tailored to the unique needs of each client. Under the guidance of Polly Kahl, a seasoned counselor, the practice specializes in a warm, inclusive approach that embraces individuals from all walks of life. Whether you’re seeking guidance through major life changes, navigating the complexities of gender-affirming care, or simply in need of a supportive ear, Kahl Counseling is dedicated to helping you move forward with confidence and clarity.

Personalized Telehealth Accessibility

One of Kahl Counseling’s standout features is its robust telehealth program. Recognizing that life’s circumstances don’t always allow for in-person visits, Polly has made it possible to connect via Skype and other online platforms. This flexibility has proven invaluable:

• “Polly did Skype sessions with me back in 2015 because I was paralyzed and couldn’t physically make it in.”
• “I’m also going to be going through her to get one of my forms for bottom surgery.”

By bringing professional counseling into your home, Kahl Counseling ensures that mobility limitations, busy schedules, or geographic barriers never stand in the way of the support you deserve.

Expertise in Gender-Affirming Transition Support

For clients embarking on a gender-affirming journey, Polly’s guidance often becomes an essential cornerstone. From your very first session, you’ll find a counselor who listens without judgment and collaborates with you to develop a transition plan that aligns with your goals. Whether you’re exploring social changes, developing resilience strategies, or seeking practical advice on next steps, Polly’s affirming presence and clinical expertise help you navigate every phase:

• “Couldn’t have started transition without you!”
• “You’re a God send, Polly!”

Kahl Counseling is proud to cultivate a safe, supportive environment where your identity is validated and honored.

Efficient WPATH Form Assistance

Securing letters of recommendation and WPATH-compliant forms can often be a daunting and time-sensitive process. At Kahl Counseling, Polly leverages deep familiarity with WPATH criteria to streamline paperwork and ensure that clients receive accurate, comprehensive documentation when they need it most. Many clients praise the prompt turnaround:

• “She got me my WPATH form for T and top surgery.”
• “Polly delivers critical WPATH forms efficiently, making all the difference.”

While Polly continues to refine her scheduling and follow-through processes, the majority of clients report seamless experiences that accelerate their access to vital medical interventions.

Professionalism, Attitude, and Client Experience

Polly’s approach balances warmth with professionalism. She strives to create a collaborative space where honesty and transparency guide every conversation. Many clients remark on her caring demeanor and unwavering support: “You’re a God send, Polly!” Yet, individual preferences in communication style can vary, and a small number of clients have found her approach more direct than expected. At Kahl Counseling, feedback is welcomed as an opportunity for growth, and Polly remains committed to refining her practice to suit each client’s comfort level.
