Jamie is as amazing a therapist as is a genuinely kind person to talk to…read more During your session she will engage you and will recall things that you have told her months earlier. She will reflect on what she has learned about you, and with insight and great skill, make sense of your troubles. She does it with such compassion and effortlessness that a seasoned grandmother of a big family could learn from it! She is quite versatile; Jamie's therapeutic methods are very powerful and healing but she can also give down-to-earth, practical advise for "real life" situations. If you had a particularly tricky problem she can even recommend you to specialists because she is connected with other therapists. Her manners are warm and friendly, you feel like you are in good hands during your session. I have tried to go to therapy before but often it felt like I was having my teeth pulled without anesthetics. In contrast, Jamie makes you feel like you are having tea with a friend who cares about you a lot! Her office is clean and neat and is in a good part of town. She is fairly flexible to make appointments and asks for a reasonable fee well worth spending. After every session I came away with sighs of relief; Jamie's therapy will enable you to heal yourself and feel good about life.

Whether it is pushing through painful stuck patterns or rediscovering personal and professional points of inspiration; therapy supports you in taking risks to achieve the life you desire. The behaviors, thoughts and emotions that stand in your way no longer limit you. Therapy helps to re-connect you to your best self and strengthen your connections in partnership, friendship, and professionally. Some areas I specialize in are: Anxiety - Trauma - Depression  Relationship Challenges - Career & Life Transitions   Grief & Loss - Eating Disorders Post Partum & Parenting - Neurofeedback

Suzanne was a profound investment in our marriage…read more My husband and I interviewed a few couples therapists shortly after we were married for maintenance work, but as soon as we had our intro call with Suzanne we knew we had found our therapist. She has this incredible ability to s-l-o-w arguments down, identify the cycle, and bring to the surface the vulnerability that belies a given heated situation. We both feel we understand each other so much better, and over a period of months the arguments we once had deescalated into just blips, then conversations, and now we have graduated and remain super happily married. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Sefora, has an amazing knack for getting to the heart of a matter and reflecting it back at one so…read moreelegantly that it is impossible to ignore. She does so in the most disarming and nurturing way that leaves one able to look upon a complex that has one stuck and writhing, lovingly and with full acceptance. From there she holds out the invitation of engaging that mystery and staying with it to determine whether or not it can't be the piece that will lead to liberation. She encourages one to embrace the strange paradox's that actually encourage purposeful living, and help one navigate the often confusing landscape of the human psyche. An astute facilitator of helping people to reclaim a sense of empowerment and internal equilibrium, capable of wading through the most unpleasant of complexes to find the accord that can allow one to sit in their own power while facing shadows that may bedevil you. Interrupting the incessant critical voices that we have all internalized, to help one see themselves in their totality and pin point what is truly important in the arc of a life. The fact that she is present to allow a person's process to unfold on it's own without trying to interpret what it means in some psychotherapy model is her core strength, she has a knack for creating a space to let the material emerge and allow the client to come to their own answers. Combine a loving personality and a sense of compassion for every one she interacts with and you have one stellar human being! If there is any issue that is obsessing you or all the traditional methods for moving forward have failed than Sefora is the person to go to, in order to get things back on track. Even in the pits of despair, she can through acting as a creative catalyst pull one out from the ocean of darkness back into the light of day. Highly skilled and intuitive professional.
