I am a born skeptic. I'm cynical. Hypnotherapy sounded like exactly the kind of thing I would roll…read moremy eyes at. But I was in a rough spot. Work wasn't where I wanted it to be, I was trying to figure out my relationship, and I generally felt like I needed to get out of my own way. So I took a leap and went to see Kristine, while still being pretty convinced that hypnotherapy wasn't a real thing and certainly wasn't going to work on me. I did 4 initial sessions with her and something changed. Not because she waved a magic wand or suddenly turned me into a different person. She gave me tools. She helped change my outlook. She gave me confidence, a mantra I could actually use, and a way to keep myself in check when my brain wanted to go in 15 different directions. She helped me understand what actually needed my attention and what didn't. She also opened me up to manifestation and the law of attraction, 2 things I probably would have made fun of not that long ago. And then, shortly after our sessions, work picked up immensely. Other opportunities started showing up. Things in my personal life started becoming clearer. Call it manifestation, call it mindset, call it getting out of your own way. I don't really care what you call it. Something worked. I'm not going to tell anyone that hypnotherapy is magic or that you walk out of Kristine's office and suddenly your entire life changes. You have to be open to it. You have to do some work yourself. And most importantly, you have to believe that the things you want are actually possible for you. Kristine helps light the path. She gives you the tools and perspective to do something with it yourself. A huge thank you to Kristine for her kindness, patience and for helping me realize that a lot of what I was looking for was stuff I already knew deep down was mine to receive. I just needed a little help getting out of my own way.

I am forever grateful for the experience I had working with Genesis for EMDR therapy. From the very…read morebeginning, she was incredibly patient and took the time to explain the entire EMDR process to me step by step, including what to expect and how each phase works. That helped me feel safe and comfortable going into something that felt a little intimidating at first. Throughout the time I worked with her, I always felt heard, respected, and genuinely supported. Genesis is very thorough and attentive, and she creates an environment where you feel safe enough to process things at your own pace. She never rushed the work and always made sure I felt grounded before moving forward, which meant a lot to me. Over time, I noticed a real difference in how I was able to process past trauma, and the progress started to show up in my everyday life. The work we did together truly helped me in ways I'm very thankful for, and it made a positive impact that I will carry with me moving forward. I highly recommend Genesis to anyone considering EMDR therapy or looking for a therapist who is compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to helping her clients. She is amazing at what she does, and I feel very lucky to have worked with her. Thank you so much Genesis!

Through the Woods Therapy Center has been a lifesaver! I had such a terrible time "auditioning"…read moretherapists and I was about to give up when I figured I'd give it one more try. I'm so glad I did. From the first meeting I felt like my therapist really heard what I was saying. Sometimes it feels like therapists zone out, or have rote advice they give to all their patients and try to contort their one-size-fits-all answer to fit your particular situation. I hate feeling like my therapist is on auto-pilot, or when I can tell that my therapist thinks they are *so* skilled they could do it in their sleep. This time around, I found a therapist who genuinely cares about my success. It feels like we are a team. I'm very proud of the progress I've made over the past year and a half, and so grateful I decided not to give up and make this investment in myself. If anyone is reading this and had the same problems I had, just know that it is worth it to keep trying until you find the right therapist for you. I found the perfect balance of compassion and insight and lovingly calling me on my bullshit when I need it. I would highly recommend Through the Woods Therapy Center to anyone. If my experience is any indication, I can tell the therapists have been hand selected for their empathy and ability to guide clients to results.

I just wanted to make sure his professors know they are blessed in having Jim as a student. I feel blessed to have been assigned to him. How one can feel "better" after talking with someone for under an hour is rather miraculous, but as a friend of mine once said, "better, is better." Indeed it is. I was truly "helped" not only emotionally, but more importantly, by being given a "point of view," a "principle," if you will, to practice this week, which I instantly knew would yield fruit in my life. Isn't that all one can hope for in a therapy session? I look forward to the next session. Thank you all for being there for me. With warm gratitude, April

Wow, I just randomly went to share The Center with a friend and found their Yelp page full of…read morenegative reviews. I guess it makes sense because this is exactly the sort of business you take for granted and forget to review - unless you've had a bad experience. Funny how we will race to our keyboards to proclaim the best doughnut or latte but totally forget something which has made a positive impact on our lives. My teenager has seen two counsellors here in the last couple of years. She ADORED the first one and made great progress. Because of the nature of the Center as sort of a first stop after graduation her counsellor moved on and she was very reluctant to see another. I thought about paying the literally 3X as much to see the former counsellor in her private practice but decided to contact the coordinator, Cami to see if we could get in with someone new. She was super helpful and professional and matched her with a new therapist. Every week my daughter says after her session "well, she's not _____" but also every week she is making progress. Maybe lightning didn't strike twice (and believe me, we had tried several other businesses with abysmal results first) but her new counsellor is professional, compassionate and competent. Especially for those parents out there struggling to get someone referred by their child's primary care provider ... and I know that one. Spent WEEKS calling to find nothing through referrals. With their sliding scale I actually pay around what the co-pay would have been without nearly pulling my hair out to find someone through insurance. The intake forms are long but not dissimilar to what we experienced at other businesses. The difference here is that they stay in communication with you and let you know what is happening. This has worked out so well that even my EX HUSBAND now sees a provider through The Center. Give them a try.

I was and still am convinced that therapy is the greatest scam in history. It does not help you get or maintain anything in life. You talk for 50 min, and then what? Do you get a job? Someone to love you? Money? NO. It does not solve problems or assist with real issues inside or out. They do not tell you what to do/not do, which most people who are unstable desperately need. So what is the point? It's simply not tangible or practical. I lost everything (job, housing, spouse, etc) under their care/guidance. They do not help you achieve a "life worth living." Quite the opposite. You are supposed to have 24/7 support, but they have very strict conditions such that practically speaking, you are not allowed to contact them outside of your session. So you feel hopeless with no one to turn to, esp at night when most of us start to become depressed and cannot sleep. No one cares. They also do not support or follow up after you leave. Poorly designed and executed program. They failed me. I also left a review on Google (has more/different info).

Such a wonderful resource for new parents Or "again parents"…read more I'm so grateful I found this infant massage class through The Village Family Services. I only have one class left and I can honestly say the experience has helped my son tremendously. Ms. Karley Gutierrez is a wonderful instructor. She is patient, caring, knowledgeable and makes the classes feel comfortable and welcoming. She teaches techniques that parents can use at home to help soothe and comfort their babies, while also creating a beautiful opportunity for bonding and connection. One thing I especially appreciated was that we were able to bring other close caregivers who are part of our baby's life. This gave them the opportunity to learn the techniques as well, so they can confidently use them when needed to help calm and soothe the baby. I love that the class encourages the entire support system around baby to be involved. I've especially appreciated learning how intentional, nurturing touch can help with calming, relaxation and overall comfort. It has given me tools I can continue using with my son well beyond the six-week program. I'm sharing this review because I really hope more parents in our community become aware of this resource. Programs like this can be so valuable, especially for new parents who are looking for positive ways to connect with and soothe their babies. Thank you to The Village Family Services and especially Ms. Karley for providing such a meaningful experience. I highly recommend this class to parents who have the opportunity to participate!

She was in there for about an hour (the most anxious hour for me from the waiting room but thank goodness they have that soothing music playing) at around 6, Alyson came out to bring me into the room. I sat on the couch & my girlfriend was a COMPLETELY different person. She looked relieved & happier.
