Yelp reviews are generally easy to write. You like something or you dislike something and... you…read moregive your reasons. When I started to write something (I won't call it a review) for Josefa, I wasn't ready. I wanted what I wrote to mean something and to reflect how I feel about the affect she's had on my life. So, I'll take a shot now, but I'm still not sure I can do her justice. Josefa is a truly gifted person. She not only had an almost immediate understanding of the person I was, but also a tremendous insight into 'why I was' and how I could be the person I wanted to be. It's interesting because I had visited a counselor on and off over many years, whom I thought was good. However, in just two coaching sessions with Josefa, I discovered things about myself that I had neither thought of nor discussed, previously. Over the course of working with Josefa for a few months, she helped me to better understand myself, which led to quite a change in the way I feel about myself and how I interact with the world around me. From session to session, she always was on top of what we had previously discussed and was familiar with issues that were currently affecting my life. And, she was always on point with suggestions on how to best handle situations. Furthermore, the suggestions were ones that I could carry forward with me to future issues. Does everything work out for me now exactly like I want it to... of course not. But, I can certainly handle things much better now than I previously could. It may sound like I was a basket-case prior to working with Josefa. I don't think that's the 'case', but I certainly had issues. I imagine I still do. But, now I have much more of an inner calm about myself and confidence in myself that I never had previously. Thank you, Josefa. You have made a tremendous difference in my life.

He's extremely experienced which lends to his ability to relate to people with all types of issues. He is a great listener and truly wants to help coach you (rather than lecture or judge). I've reached out to Gordon several times outside of counseling sessions for advice on things that have come up in between sessions and he's been both responsive and helpful, along with empathetic. He 's empathetic to what you are going through, but also will point out where your thinking may need to open up or readjust to allow you to see things where you've gotten stuck in the past so true healing and change can happen. I've been to several counselors over my lifetime and Gordon is one of the best I've had. He's helped my husband and I navigate some difficult marital issues. Highly Recommended!

Megan is fabulous at what she does. I don't know how she works with kids and parents all day long…read moreand maintains her sanity and composure, but she does. She has been working with my family for quite some time and the impact she has had is tremendous. To look back just a year and see how far we have come is astonishing. Not only does she work beautifully with my kids but she helps me be a better mom. Having adopted two kiddos with no prior parenting experience, I naturally have a lot of questions and often times feel clunky or unsure. Megan never hesitates to encourage me but also to help me bridge the gaps. I remember one time we were talking with Megan about something I was trying to explain to my son. He and I were on totally different pages no matter what I did. So, she basically had the conversation for me and did it on his comprehension level. I didn't feel foolish or stupid but rather enlightened. The light bulb went on and I was so grateful to have not only solved a parenting challenge but also learned how to manage similar situations and my son learned that moms need help too sometimes. Megan is worth every dollar we have paid her. I can't image where we would be without her. Because of our unique set of circumstances, it was imperative that we find someone who had experience and strong understanding of the adoption process from all sides. Well, she definitely understood which made her guiding us so much easier. I could go on and on but I won't. If you need someone to work with your kids or even you as a parent, Megan will make a huge difference!

I haven't been to Raise but Jess has treated someone I love. I have encountered many therapist and…read morethere are many out there who are clinically sufficient. What Jess brings to the table is something more, which was a genuine concern for my child. On one of our conversatios she said " I went on this run and I was thinking about"... she was thinking about my kid and how to help. She made me feel like we ( we because as parents, things that affect our kids affect us) were "seen." I think more often than not people get complacent in their careers, including the medical or mental health field, which I would chalk up to human nature. However, she never made me feel like my kid was number or just another patient. She was someone going through something and Jess was going to figure it out. We had to stop seeing Jess due to some circumstances out of my control. Which only lead us to a merry go round of therapists and it wasn't until then, that I was able to fully appreciate her, not only for her emotional investment in my child but also for her instincts, which were proven to be spot on. While on that mental health merry go round, I learned that not every therapist has the capability to convey a genuine sense of commitment and concern for their client/patient , however Jess did. Taking on someone else's emotional pain, trauma, anxieties and fears has to be one of the hardest jobs I could imagine, especially when it comes to children...so I can understand having and internal shut off valve and not fault anyone needing to enact that protective mechanism. But as a parent who's child hurts....I sure as shit want someone who sees my kid, as I see them. Once again I saw Jess early in her career. Not only do I magine that she has gotten better with time but I imagine now that she has her own practice, she chooses people who values their clients as much as she does. ...I did recently refer someone here and they had positive reviews about Jess, Teena and the facility.
