From the…read morevery beginning, I felt heard, understood, and supported, which made it easy to open up about all different aspects of my life. I've gained valuable tools to improve my relationships, and better understand myself. I've noticed real, positive changes in my mindset and overall well-being, and I always leave sessions feeling more grounded and empowered. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, effective, and supportive therapist. She's the best!

The next day I contacted her. Through the years, I have turned to Joan at different moments, to help me process, understand and make personal adjustments. I am always amazed at Joan's range of knowledge and how she leads me to a better understanding of myself, my actions and my relationships. Joan is a realist...she provides a comforting understanding but will challenge me as well. At times I wonder how she remembers all these details about my life...but she never misses a beat. I highly recommend Dr. Druckman; if you put in the work, she won't disappoint.

These problems helped created a lot of anxiety and depression. I found Dr. Jessica online after much research and spoke with her on the phone. She was so understanding and knowledgeable. I met with her in her office and she did a whole battery of psychological testing on me and evaluated me for autism. I finally got my diagnosis after all the years of pain and frustration. I am Autistic. That was a watershed moment for me to finally get my diagnosis and answers to what I have been struggling with for a lifetime. Thank you Dr. Jessica!

My son had severe behavior issues. We didn't know if it was depression, drug use, mental illness,…read moreetc. At age 18 he got a diagnoses of Paranoid schizophrenia after a 5150 hold. He tried medication for a short time and then refused to take it. He decided he wanted to join the military and he found Dr. Jessica online to get a reversal of diagnosis. We didn't think this was realistic but we're interested to get someone else's opinion. After about 7 or 8 sessions with Dr. Jess her opinion was there was nothing wrong with him. My first reaction was they were both crazy! However we started seeing a significant improvement after she told him that. She gave him the reversal and 6 months later he joined the military and just successfully completed 6 months of training. We are so proud, shocked and grateful that my son found Dr. Jess online. She may have saved his life.

Our 16 year old son was dealing with a lot. Transitioning into a blended home, the death of his…read morestep mother, a failed first relationship, knowing he was different than the crowd while having deeper aspirations for his future. In short he was struggling and began acting out in a number of ways. Ways not typical of who he is and was as a person. We identified this through some very apparent, key events that took place in his life. In briefing, our son was headed toward a path of disaster and laced with confusion, frustration, betrayal, trust & love issues and you name it. All while his body is physically morphing into manhood. He was a mess. We were afraid for his future and became a mess with him. His mother would sob at night. We felt bad for him but also knew if we didn't help him find his path it could be disastrous for his future. A lot of people thought he was dark or hopeless but those who knew him closely, knew he was a special human loaded with potential and greatness. It just needed to be harnessed. That's when we connected with Ben Murphy, one of the best things that ever happened for our family. Our son has been seeing Ben regularly for over a year and couldn't be better. I mean a complete turn around. I think it took a few months before actually noticing real difference in attitude and his increased optimism with life in general. (Without ANY medications or drugs) our son genuinely was able to work through some key issues he was having because of Ben's work. I highly recommend Ben Murphy for any family counseling needs, specifically troubled youth or youth issues, he was an answer to prayer. Also just a solid human being in general who is the real deal. We have had our son continue to see him weekly for over a year and he actually looks forward to their weekly meeting. Ben has become a safe place and from our sons words, keeps him accountable and encourages him to do great things with his life. If you are having any issues with your child or in a season where you just need help. Someone to help you get through whatever it is, someone who is safe and genuinely cares, but also no BS, don't even hesitate to schedule with Ben Murphy. Hands down the best counselor I've ever met and he provided incredible results for our family beyond what we believed even possible. Our son did the work, but Ben laid down the framework and template for him and most importantly by authentically caring and loving on him he created a bond of trust so that they could take the journey together. Even though we feel like our son is on the right path and doing great we are continuing our commitment to having him meet regularly with Ben as we believe it has changed his life. We are beyond forever grateful and would encourage anyone looking for a safe, professional that genuinely cares about people to connect with Ben without hesitation. He's the real deal.

I have had the great pleasure of meeting Joy but also working with her over the course of 12 weeks…read more Now before I actually get into this review, I want to throw out a few disclaimers...Joy does NOT have a magic wand that will magically make your issues go away. Joy does NOT have the ability to do your work for you and lastly Joy does NOT by any means sell herself short on the services that she provides. Joy, you are an absolute god send. Seriously.... I have been thru various counseling all of my life but that didn't resolve my issues nor did it really give me the tools needed to actually resolve them. So since I had tried that previously and pretty much got the same result, I knew I had to try something different. So, what did I do? I went to my trusty yelp and reached out and received several responses. I had a few phone interviews because I needed to find the right person to help me thru some heavy stuff. I liked Joy right off the bat. You can simply tell by the tone in her voice that she is an angel. I signed up for 6 sessions with Joy...and after my 6th session, I signed up for 6 more. And I threw Joy some crazy challenges (nothing in my life has EVER been easy)....there were issues that she flat out told me she couldn't do anything about (I appreciate the honestly more than you know) and there were some issues where I really feel like I challenged her but guess what? SHE NEVER GAVE UP ON ME. SHE NEVER TOLD ME SHE COULDN'T WITHOUT AN EXPLANATION (again she doesn't have a magic wand). Instead what I received was far far greater than any gift...Joy gave me the tools I needed to see where my deficiencies came from and also gave me some positive insight as to how to fix the behaviors and this is something I now work on EVERY SINGLE DAY and it's made me a better person. So if you feel like you are stuck, and don't know where to go, and you have tried traditional methods (and they haven't really worked) I would seriously urge you to give Joy a call...set up and appointment and more importantly work on your (O&*%(Q*&)%(. Joy, thank you again for everything. I'll be back after tax season and I've already started a list of things to work on when I return to your place...oh and Mr. Meowghee says hello!

I have had the privilege of speaking with Sarah, on three separate occasions regarding concerns…read moreabout myself and my daughter on one occasion...and I can honestly say that each session has been nothing short of transformative. From the moment we began, she had a sense of calm, wisdom, and profound understanding that immediately put my mind at ease each and every time. What stands out most is Sarah's ability to engage without judgment, providing insights and support that are not only honest but deeply soothing. Each time I started the sessions, I was feeling uncertain, or perhaps even less than, then, I left with a renewed sense of clarity and self-worth. It's as if she has an innate gift for seeing through the chaos and helping you rediscover your strength. Sarah's approach is nothing short of magical. I can't fully explain it, but every session felt like an emotional reset, like a weight lifting off my soul. It's rare to encounter someone who can create such a profound shift in how you see yourself, and even rarer to meet someone whose impact lasts long after the conversation/session is over. I genuinely feel that Sarah has a rare gift, and her ability to guide and heal is unparalleled. I've never met anyone quite like her, and I can say without hesitation that she is a true magic worker for the soul. If you have the opportunity to work with her, don't hesitate... your life will be richer for it. Thank you, Sarah. Heather

My first review was written in 2010. 9 years later and I am back to say Sarah remains the only…read moretherapist I have worked with who has "helped" me. Her emotional intelligence exceeds my own, she tells it like it is with absolutely no judgement, she gets to the meat and bones of every issue so effortlessly, like a sharp knife through butter. And, she doesn't know this yet, but my then boyfriend and I came to her at a crossroads in our relationship, when all signs pointed to "Exit", and we are now happily married. Life just so happens to be moving us up close to Northern California and we plan to start seeing Sarah regularly for "maintenance". Our insurance does not cover our visits, but she is well worth the fee, as someone else commented.
