I didn't know where to start, but I noticed that so many of Teresa's reviews had REAL results, like folks actually landing a new career after their time with her. Thankfully, I'm happy to report the same -- and wouldn't be able to say that without her. The Career Clarity Course is a great way to get your wheels turning on possible career changes, and it offers tons of great questions and quizzes to help open your mind to career paths you wouldn't have before. And when combined with in-person sessions with Teresa, it's an incredibly helpful set of tools, since she provides a ton of great, real-time feedback and support that's flexible to your situation. Basically, if you're on the fence like I was, just make the smart move and invest in Teresa's course. You definitely won't regret it!

Working with Teresa has brought me so much clarity about who I am and how I make decisions. I also…read morelearned a lot about what my values and passions are, and the ways I can use those things to guide my next career decision (and other life decisions too!) Teresa is such a fantastic listener and is super empathic. I very much value the sessions I had with her so far. And if ever in the future I would need to speak to a career coach again, I wouldn't hesitate to schedule another session with her. 10/10 I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking clarity or help around anything career related!

Dr. Kattenhorn was extremely helpful to myself and my family. We did sessions with my spouse…read morepresent and ones individually. When I had to transfer to a new counselor he completed documentation to assist in a timely manner. He was careful to not give advice but give Christian biblical principles that I could use to make decisions. He is willing to deal with insurance, and does treat some diagnosis that other counselors won't touch. He merges practical and style and theoretical well. If you need a solid safe place this is one.

From early 2019 to the middle of 2021, I was counseled by Dr. David Kattenhorn, of Christian…read moreCounseling Associates in Arcadia, CA weekly, either in person or by phone, during the Covid lockdowns. During this time, my psychological issue of co-dependence was greatly exacerbated by Dr. Kattenhorn through excessive communications, that I, in my unstable state initiated. This should have been noted as a boundary violation by Kattenhorn, that would allow me to become conscious of my excessive neediness. Instead, no corrective action was taken by the Dr. himself either to guide me out of codependency or to protect himself from issues of malpractice. By the end, he had embraced a dual relationship with me, as he had become really my only friend. When the Lord told me to part ways with this man, I was so afraid to let him go, that I reasoned with him saying, 'I think that the devil is trying to separate us. Everyone needs a friend'. A session or so later, he told me that I had a 'broken leg' and it was best that I stay in counseling until it was healed. Not helpful for a man like me, needing to learn to stand on his own, by the power of Christ. No real Christian doctrine was ever discussed in our sessions outside of some shallow Bible verse mentions and basic right and wrong discussion making, which by the way, was not backed up by scripture or Biblical wisdom, so in effect held no real weight. At the time, I was also having nightmares almost every night and Kattenhorn's first question to me almost every session would be 'what dreams did you have this past week? Not all my dreams were nightmares but most of them were. I allowed Kattenhorn to be my dream interpreter, a service he gladly took up, misguiding me even further and bringing me closer to shipwreck. All the while, when I would call Kattenhorn for advice after hours, or we were talking during sessions, He would give me direct advice on what to do especially regarding how to attend to my job and how to conduct my business, rather than working to build my character so that I might be able to make my own wise decisions, with more courage and confidence. He acted more like a bad parent than a good 'Christian counselor.' With this mans help, I spiraled out of control in mid 2021, and by the time I cut ties with him, it was too late and I was in the midst of another mental health crisis. It did not help that though he knew my psychiatrist, Carol McCormick, he never attempted to establish a continuum of care with her, so that my medications for bi-polar disorder were never discussed, in either their hindrance or helping of my situation. Instead he mostly just insisted that the devil was just messing with me. Because of Grace, my story has a very happy ending (though there is no real end in sight :) ). This season of my life though, has been fully redeemed. Dr. Dave Kattenhorn, please check your voicemail and send me my medical records so that I can determine how to proceed in deciding how to pursue justice for this client/therapist relationship gone terribly wrong. One more thing, I believe that Kattenhorn has broken a worldly law of embracing a dual relationship with me, his former client. As a Christian, he should also be aware that he has broken a far more important statute. God's new covenant with the people of Israel, in the book of Jeremiah states, 'I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God and they will be my people, no longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, know the Lord, because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.' Jeremiah 31 33-34 Kattenhorn's direct advice to me and exacerbation of my co-dependence, was more like playing a perverted version of God himself, rather than embracing the role of a spiritual mentor that could have encouraged me in my walk to grow closer to the Father and his Son and thus rely less on human/worldly understanding. Mr. Kattenhorn, I left you my number as well. Call me to refute, if you wish. -Daniel White

After suffering profound burnout and taking time away from working, I found myself considering a…read morecareer change but with no idea where to start. By some magic, I found Dawn's pivot program and it was AMAZING. Did she help me get my resume and cover letter in tip-top shape? Yes. Did she push me outside my comfort zone to get networking? Also, yes. AND -- she did SO MUCH MORE. Dawn's holistic approach to guiding me through this turning point in my career helped me actually look at my needs and values, and examine what I really wanted in my life. When I say "holistic," I mean she encouraged me to look at so many different aspects of my life and gave me the tools and the positive support I needed to go beyond just the job search. I made changes in my life I wasn't able to make on my own, even with my therapist's help. Dawn somehow is able to be both super supportive and incredibly efficient, helping me create an actual, actionable 90 day plan for how to move forward. I went into this process knowing I wanted to do "something different" and now I have a much stronger sense of who I am, and that's so much bigger than just a new job. I wholeheartedly recommend Dawn!

I'm writing this review about a year later after our 2 sessions. After getting laid off from my…read morecorporate job of a high position, losing my girlfriend, dog and a list of other atrocities I was lost and broken in my life. I was willing to do whatever it took to get back on my feet after numerous attempts at therapy whether it was through my insurance provider or private practice. I was a bit skeptical at first about hypnotherapy and life coaching because of the heavy price tag attached but here's what happened. We had a counseling session to see what was going on in my life and how we could go about regaining my clarity and confidence. She helped me realize that there was a lot of past trauma that I had to forgive myself coupled with the bitter truth that my self-destructive tendencies may not have been my fault but is ultimately my responsibility to address. I'm not too sure if the hypnotherapy programmed my subconscious that allowed me to take more action in my life than floating around. The month after our sessions I made more progress in regaining my health by choosing healthier foods and cutting out smoking. I also found a new hobby of swing trading and opening myself up to diversifying and growing my wealth from my savings, severance check and Unemployment Benefits. I ended up doing extremely well as I was confident in my buying and selling stocks by reading trends in the market and a little bit of intuition in the tech industry. Even if I was an emotional wreck I didn't let it affect my decision making when it came to trading. After a year later I have made much more progress in my personal development and career. I ended up founding my own marketing business, travel extensively as well as go on to work for other major companies within my career field.

Dear Christine, I…read moredon't fully know what happened during that hypnotherapy session -- but at the same time, I do. When you told me my throat chakra was doing something strange, and said you felt my mother had taken my voice, something inside me shifted deeply. I truly believe I got my voice back that day. Since our session, I've noticed such a change in myself. I'm speaking up. I'm setting boundaries. No drama, no fear -- just honesty. For the first time in my life, I feel a sense of freedom from the bondage of staying silent and never really expressing myself. It's hard to put into words how profound that feels. I wanted to thank you from my heart for what you gave me. It feels life-changing. My funds are a little tight right now as I'm in the process of fully opening my store, but I absolutely want to continue working with you. I should have more availability financially soon. I just didn't want time to pass without telling you how grateful I am and how much this experience has meant to me. I love you so much, and I'll see you soon. With love and gratitude, Sonja
