I used Branches for marital counseling for about a year. I have continued with them for group…read moresupport for 2 years. This place was a game changer for me, my husband and our family. The ability to be totally honest and transparent without judgment is what people want and need during life struggles. That is exactly what you get with Branches. As with any new relationship, including professional relationships, I was hesitant to really open up about the problems I was facing. However soon after our initial visit I realized that we could come get the help that we needed and make the adjustments needed to improve our situation. I was also able to attend a conference during that year that further helped me gain the insight and experience needed to be a better spouse, mother, and person. Branches is 100% worth the time and money. I was referred by a friend/church member and I am grateful that I was able to get therapy there. One key thing to remember: when places are good, they are busy. This means that if there is a waiting list then guess what--they are good. Don't let that stop you from calling or getting on the list. People change their minds, decide to go other places, or simply decide to give up - you could be on a waiting list today but possibly get a call tomorrow that they are ready for you. Be encouraged! Help is NOT handling your problems alone.

I unfortunately cannot recommend this practice based on my experience. From the beginning, the…read moreprocess was extremely disorganized. After I signed up for counseling, I was told that I had apparently been there before (I have never been). I explained this, and they insisted that I had until they eventually realized they had the wrong person. My name is a unique name and spelling so it is not easy to confuse me with someone else. After admitting the mistake, they immediately began asking for my payment information, even though I did not yet have an appointment scheduled. When we spoke by phone, I felt extremely pressured to provide my credit card information. When I finally arrived for my appointment, I was told they did not have any of the information I had already submitted online. I started filling everything out again, and about 15 minutes into my scheduled appointment, they suddenly found the information they had apparently misplaced. Despite showing up on time and the delay being on their end, my session time was cut short. Unfortunately, the counseling itself was also just as disappointing. I was consistently given very generic, surface-level questions and felt that the counselor did not actually listen to what I was saying. I would explain something and she would compare it to something else or redirect the conversation, even when that comparison did not apply. Sessions were also routinely shortened. I was committing to hour-long appointments but was repeatedly let into the room late and asked to leave early, so I never actually received a full session. My last appointment was particularly frustrating. I was let into the room about 15 minutes late, and the counselor spent roughly the first 20 minutes on her laptop typing (nothing to do with me or my session). She would occasionally look up and ask very generic questions such as what I thought about compassion or happiness, without any apparent connection to what we had actually been discussing. Eventually, she had me watch a full Brené Brown YouTube video, which took up over 15 minutes of the session. I was then sent out early and told to schedule my next appointment with the front desk rather than having the counselor schedule it as she had previously. I ultimately decided not to return. Overall, my experience felt disorganized, impersonal, and much more focused on getting payment and moving through appointments than providing thoughtful, individualized counseling. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this practice to ask questions about how sessions are structured and make sure they are actually receiving the full appointment time they are paying for.

Not only is she compassionate and caring, but she's an incredibly gifted clinician as well. She is the type of therapist who will help you reach your goals and gently push you when needed.

I highly recommend working with Jenny as your therapist and would trust her with my own clients.

I…read morehave been in therapy for many years, and it has been difficult for me to find someone that is the right fit. While I highly value professional warmth and positivity, I also need someone who gives authentic reactions and perspective. Crystal is so skillful at maintaining this balance. She is consistently attentive, warm, and present. I feel heard and understood by her, and she remembers things I share with her. I leave sessions with nuggets of wisdom and food for thought. While I believe it can be true that you get what you give in therapy, Crystal demonstrates inquisitiveness and care that can help you get where you need to go in life (even if you are slow to trust, like myself). Similar to herself, her office space is warm and comfortable. I can make myself a coffee/tea and sit and chat about my week. If you can't tell, I can't say more positive things about my experience with Crystal. She is sunshine.
