last summer my husband and I were referred to Dr. Smith by our pediatrician. This experience was…read morescary-- she's a professional? ? Nothing from her demeanor to her expertise was professional. Her assignment was to help us identify any learning deficits or maturity issues. Instead she reported that our then seven year old would not amount to much and to have very low expectations of her. This child was a bright and vibrant child who was not on the autistic spectrum or any other behavioral/emotional spectrum. We also had billing problems with her. Please take heed if thinking of using her. And probably to Dr. Smith's chagrin my daughter is doing well and earned Student of the Month!!

Alexis is an amazing beautiful soul. She is an incredibly insightful & perspective therapist…read more This past Saturday, I attended Alexis 4hr Experimental Workshop for Women finding where our success and happiness intersect called Identity Maintenace with Alexis Maron. I attended this workshop already in a healthy relationship, family, state of mind and place in my life. My goal was to overcome my fear to move forward on a goal I set 4 years ago. I have accomplished so many other goals but this particular goal, I've taken many courses to help me move forward in the past but I just couldn't understand why I was struggling. Within this short 4 hours, WOW, did I find out WHY. I am beyond thankful for Alexis teachings, the WHOLE course was mind-blowing in a positive way. The best part was, I've learned more about myself without her really saying anything. It was her creative games that helped us all, including the ladies who attended (which I would like to add, we all connected so beautifully), for whatever purpose brought us there, find our breakthrough to move forward. My message to anyone reading this: I've been through ALOT in life, since I was 5 years old. Investing in yourself is one of the best return on investments you can make. It goes back to the idea that if you give yourself first, you'll have more available to others. Note: Alexis has helped my 19 year old son as well, overcome his struggles with life. Now, he hires her for Life Coaching, which I am so very thankful for.

A few words to describe Alexis would be genuine, compassionate, observant, intelligent, and funny…read more Alexis has been my counselor and life coach and on off for a few years and I can't say enough wonderful things about her. Most importantly though is her genuine desire to help. Unlike other therapists I have seen, Alexis is fully engaged and present in our sessions unlike anyone else. She makes you feel like you are her only client and she is there to truly help you in your evolution of growth and change as person. Because of her I am able to see life's challenges and demands in new ways that I never would have seen before. And finally, Alexis is not only a great therapist and listener but she enables you with your own set of tools to be able to face life's challenges head on, which to me is the sign of a great therapist! I am forever grateful for what she has done for me!

Dr. Andrea has truly been the best thing for my husband and me. We've been seeing her for nearly…read moretwo years, and the impact she's had on our lives is immeasurable. She has helped me improve my communication skills and taught me de-stress breathing techniques, among so many other valuable tools. Dr. Andrea creates such a supportive and understanding environment, and I always leave our sessions feeling more grounded and empowered. I'm extremely grateful for her and so happy to have her guiding us through this journey.

EMDR has helped me process and release deep-seated traumas that once felt insurmountable. It enabled me to revisit painful memories with a sense of safety and to reframe my narrative in a way that empowered me. Somatic Experiencing allowed me to reconnect with my body, releasing stored tension and fostering a renewed sense of grounding and vitality. I felt supported, respected, and guided in a way that honored my unique journey. An IFS approach has allowed me to explore and heal parts of myself I didn't even realize were influencing my thoughts and behaviors. The sessions were all tailored to my needs, and the integration of approaches worked beautifully together, creating a holistic healing experience that addressed my mind, body, and spirit. The transformation I've undergone is evident not only to me but also to those around me. I feel lighter, more present, and more in tune with myself. Anxiety and fear that once controlled my life have significantly diminished, replaced by confidence, peace, and resilience. I've gained tools to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and grace. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to explore these therapies with Andrea and would highly recommend them and her to anyone seeking healing and personal growth.

This review has been a long time coming. I was given Dr. Gallagher's name as a potential…read morePsychologist to help me work through childhood trauma. I was told, "Dr. Gallagher makes you see things differently...The Bigger Picture." In my experience, Dr. Gallagher was brilliant. She taught me about the brain and the effect that abuse and neglect has on it. I'm a visual person so this makes sense to me. She let me know that we can change the way the brain responds to stimuli(speaking only for my case.) I was dealing with a lifetime of anxiety, ptsd and depression that was becoming unmanageable on my own. Dr. Gallagher helped me to save my own life. Every persons experience and case is different, so I can only speak to my experience with "Dr. G and Luna." I can honestly say that had I not crossed paths with Dr. Gallagher, I might not be here to write this review. So, thank you Dr. G and Luna! Andrea

She gave me the tools I needed to keep my anxiety in check and move beyond the crippling impact of constant anxiousness. I would highly recommend Dr. Gallagher to anyone suffering from anxiety who wants to put the work in to overcome their issues. I have seen a few comments regarding insurance and fees. My insurance did not pay for my treatment. Dr. Gallagher's help was worth every penny and a bargain. I would have paid anything to move beyond my anxiousness.

I found her very easy to talk to and share what I was going through. Her advice and guidance over time helped me work on issues and get back on track and into a much better mental space.

Hillary is amazing!! I was a mess when I started seeing her. She's taken me from being too panicked…read moreand anxiety ridden to enjoy Disneyland with the crowds to maybe 1-2 bad days a month. She's solution focused so you don't do the whole talk about your past and your feelings cliche. You talk about what's on your mind that week. She finds out we're you want to be and where you are now and gently (or not so gently when you need a bigger push) gets you there. In just a few months I've gone from major anxiety issues to a better job, and I've been performing and auditioning and actually getting closer to living my dreams. On top of that, she's available when you need her! She's highly responsive to emails and her schedule is flexible for appointments. 1 - hate, avoid 2 - bored, don't bother 3 - liked while there but won't leave lasting impression, unlikely to remember 4 - love and recommend 5 - law of diminishing returns doesn't apply

My experience with Nicole was really positive. She created a non-judgmental and safe environment…read morewhere I felt comfortable exploring the issues I was facing. She always asked thoughtful questions, gave realistic homework to work on between sessions, and genuinely inspired me to want to change and move forward. One thing to note is that Nicole isn't the type of therapist who just sits and listens. She offers her opinions and advice, which I haven't seen many therapists do. Sometimes those are hard truths, but nearly every time she turned out to be right. Her approach, which is grounded in research and data, properly framed our discussions and helped me face issues with confidence. If you're ready to put in the hard work, I highly recommend seeing Nicole. You won't be disappointed!

Dr. Nicole has been such a great resource for my daughters and our family. One of my girls was…read moreexcited to start therapy, while the other was a little unsure at first. From my very first conversation with Dr. Nicole, she made me feel comfortable. She took the time to tell me about herself, asked thoughtful questions about my daughters, and really wanted to understand their personalities and needs. What I appreciated most was how personal and collaborative the process felt. She took the time to get to know both me and my girls, and we worked together throughout their journey. I could share things going on in their lives that might help guide conversations during sessions, and she was always supportive and understanding. She was also incredibly flexible and helpful with our constantly changing schedules. Most importantly, both of my daughters genuinely enjoy their sessions with her and feel connected and comfortable talking with her. I'm so grateful that she has been a safe and open door for them as they've grown up -- especially through big milestones like one of them graduating. I've truly been able to see positive emotional growth and maturity in both of them. As an added bonus, she was able to work with our Kaiser insurance, which made the process even easier for our family. I highly recommend Dr. Nicole to any parent looking for someone caring, personable, and genuinely invested in helping kids thrive.

I needed someone to talk with and not burden my family or friends with lengthy complaints. He helped me to see what I can and cannot control. And the things out of my control - I can accept it or move on. This took some time to implement but it has brought me great inner peace. Since then, I have learned to take time for me and my needs so that I am able to support others. He is a trusted supporter that will listen without judgement. I have been pleased with his therapy and would recommend him.

I showed up for my normal appointment and they had the therapist tell me that was her last day. That alone I thought was very unprofessional. In addition, I was charged for that session which we spent most of the time discussing what would be our next steps. Fortunately, my therapist ended up at another firm, so I was able to continue to see her. She's fantastic but I would not go back to daybreak because of the way treated my therapist and me.

I have so many tools to help me continue living my best life even when I feel anxious, afraid, or sad. She's helped me work on my relationship with the different parts of myself, so that I can feel more harmonious internally. I don't feel stuck anymore, like I did before working with Ashley. I feel much more empowered and grounded. When I am struggling, I think to myself, "what would Ashley say", and then I'm reminded of all the tools I have to use when I'm feeling overwhelmed. Thank you for everything Ashley!!
