This person has helped mend my past, present and has been preparing me for my future. If it wasn't for this person, only God knows where I would be today

I won't go into detail about my life and why I need therapy, but my therapist, Denise, has been a…read morelifesaver. I highly recommend Denise, and this practice overall. If you love dogs, Denise brings her dog to every appointment. Denise's dog is well behaved and his calming nature helps me a ton. Therapy dogs are no joke! They do help people a ton. Their new location provides a ton of free street and neighborhood parking. If you don't have a car, they're right next to a bus stop on Armitage, so convenience is still there. This practice really cares about their clients on all levels (ex. mental, financial, emotional, and etc), so don't be afraid to try this practice. Plus, they have been really flexible with scheduling, which is a characteristic that other practices don't have (Trust me, I've checked).

Vanessa is an amazing therapist, and I highly recommend her. She provides balance and wisdom to any…read moreconcerns or issues that are presented to her. I really value the way she is able to think about a problem from many different angles and provide tangible advice as well as new ways to reframe how to think about a particular challenge. I have felt that as she got to know me better, she became even more of a valued voice, and her advice really honed in on core areas of my life and thought-process that I need to improve. She is a great listener and really hears and understands before providing any feedback.

My wife and I went in for couple's counseling and worked with Vanessa for the last 6+ months. She…read morewas a fantastic therapist to talk to about our relationship issues. She was very attentive in every one of our sessions asking about who we are, where we came from, or why we think certain ways so that she could fully understand our personas. Her diligence in her work and asking the right questions to pry into our feelings/thoughts were just what we needed to get our issues out into the air. I feel a much stronger connection with my partner after these sessions and truly appreciate the hard work Venessa put in. I feel like I'm in a much better mental/emotional place for myself and my spouse to handle any current or new issues that we'll face together.

My therapist, Ann, is absolutely wonderful and so helpful and empathetic, which makes her very easy to work with. And I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Dr. Bansal - she is so caring and relatable as well as extremely educated. she takes the time to listen to all facets of your health and genuinely give good medical advice. A Ray of Hope has everything you are looking for - neurology, counseling, psychology and more than that, you feel like an old friend who can't wait to catch up with them!

I reviewed her a few years ago but it went into the "not recommended" section for some reason…read more I saw Michelle for almost 6 years, starting when I was 24 until now 30. Before her I'd seen numerous therapists for over 10 years and no one helped me the way Michelle did. I cannot recommend her enough. She really pushed me to figure out why my thinking was the way it was. She really talked to me and really listened to me. While I know I did all of the hard work, I really credit her in helping me get healthy for the first time in my life. I'm eternally grateful.

My fiance and I went to Michelle to get help. We had many…read moreappointments with Michelle and throughout our sessions my fears were addressed - mainly my fear that I wouldn't get heard or that I would be singled out, as I'm not the easiest to get along with. My fears were rarely realized and if I did feel I was being singled out, I felt comfortable enough to speak up and all issues were addressed in a nurturing environment. Michelle helped me to better understand why I do the things I do and helped me better communicate with my now wife. Things aren't perfect, yet much better and if we ever have any issues as a married couple, it's great to know that Michelle can help us any time we ask.

I am a regular Classpass user and cannot recommend this place enough. I've taken so many of their…read moreyoga variations, and every instructor is a joy to work with. They explain movements clearly, offer helpful modifications, and create an environment where everyone feels welcome. The studio is always clean and well-organized, and they go above and beyond by providing and setting up mats and props, which makes every class feel easy and stress-free. The overall vibe here is just unmatched. The yoga recovery candlelight classes, in particular, feel like a true reset. I leave those sessions feeling calm, centered, and relaxed for the rest of the evening. Astute offers something genuinely special, and I would confidently recommend it 5 out of 5. You can generally park right out front with city parking. So you never have to worry about circling the block and worrying about being late.

Update: After speaking with Rebecca regarding my experience with Amanda, it is very clear to me…read morethat she cares more about the reputation of her business over the treatment and care of her patients. My experience working with Amanda Ferrari was overwhelmingly negative. After several months of therapy, I left feeling significantly worse than when I started. The experience had such a profound negative impact on my mental health, that after ending therapy with Amanda, I sought care from another therapist to help me process and recover from what I experienced during "treatment". I try to exercise care when writing reviews such as this one, but this is the type of therapist that you should avoid at all cost. She has, what I believe to be, a deeply rooted bias against men.

I found Christina during a time when I was experiencing a mix of symptoms--mostly occassional…read moreinsomnia and anxiety. I had this feeling that something was off but I couldn't truly figure it out by myself. Christina immediately knew what questions to ask to get to the root of my problems and improve my life from every vantage point. I am a healthier, more motivated and confident person today. I've made huge, life altering changes since working with her to improve my career, personal growth and my relationships. She is both highly intuitive and logical as a therapist. The best part about Christina, for me, is that she is no-nonsense. While she is warm and compassionate, she is also very direct and isn't afraid to tell you difficult truths. She is truly there to help you grow and succeed in life. While I've seen many therapists over my life so far, none have been as effective in such a short amount of time as Christina. I have rid myself of so many toxic habits and dependencies and am the best version of myself today. I truly love the person I've become and I'm thankful for all the knowledge, resources and books she recommended to help me build the life I want and deserve. She is not the type of therapist who will listen to you cry and complain session after session--she wants to see you make changes and will help you get there. She knows how to dive deep into your motivations, family history and childhood issues to figure out why you are the way you are and how to break those patterns. If you are serious about making changes in your life, Christina is your person. She will change your life.
