    My boyfriend actually found Kin at the beginning of this year. We started seeing Kin for couples…read moretherapy. I personally was very skeptical about therapy, especially after being unsuccessful in finding a therapist that was for me. We got so lucky, Kin being the first couples therapist we tried. His style of therapy was everything we needed. He never made the sessions feel one-sided. He always made sure to acknowledge both of our feelings but allowed us to understand each other. He gave us the tools to be successful in this relationship. We initially were seeing him every 2 weeks, then turned to 3, and 8 months later, we are finally in a place where we only need to schedule sessions as needed. We love how honest Kin has been throughout our journey. He held us accountable while not making us feel bad. I highly suggest Kin if you are seeking couples therapy :)

    To me, Kin is both a therapist and a coach. Yes, he's easy to talk to and nonjudgmental which makes…read morehim a great therapist but he also has the ability to constructively point things out to me, just like a coach would, so I can learn to become a better person, husband, and father. He has such finesse that his feedback seems very genuine and supportive, and it makes me motivated to want to change. Another expectation you can have with Kin is he'll keep you honest and accountable, again, just like an athletic coach! He keeps it real and simple. For example, he doesn't just tell you to be more patient with your kids or be a better listener to your partner. Instead, he breaks it down for you so you know exactly what your blind spots are and what you need to do to achieve your goals. He keeps things concrete and practical so you won't get lost in the abstract. If you need a therapist, especially regarding your relationship, Kin is definitely the right person.

    Long overdue review. She is the only therapist I've met, so I don't have comparison points. But she…read morecombines what are probably traditional therapist practices with awareness, acceptance, cognitive methods and even Zen teachings (without really calling it out as some specific practice - I learned some things she covered were a part of Zen teachings after I "Googled" them to learn more) - it's a great and useful mix. To me, she initially came across as a bit uninterested/judgmental/somewhat distant (as a couple other reviews mentioned) but I put that down to her personal style, i.e. she did not come across to me as some TV version of a warm, approachable, tell-me-anything therapist. But her expertise is evident over time.

    Awkward...reviewing ones therapist. Maybe I should lie on a couch and talk about my mother…read more Actually Rebecca is super friendly and I owe her a lot for helping me through a tough time in my life, 5 stars doesn't really cover it. I started seeing Rebecca when I was on Stanford Campus and she was working for the Counseling service there. I was having some personal issues which I won't detail here (nosy, aren't you?) and she helped me move forward with my life. I still check in with her when I'm having troubles and I've found her therapy very useful. Rebecca uses cognitive and behavioral therapy and really stresses mindfulness and awareness. I found this approach very useful. She's really good at arming you with tools that you can use going forward, rather than simple solutions to a current issue. As an added bonus she has later evening appointments which works great for folks with jobs and schedules that are hard to rearrange.

    My husband and I had been having a lot of challenges with our 3 year son and we were at our wits…read moreend. I was not happy with the way I was showing up for my child and desperately wanted to meet with a professional who could teach me tips and techniques to better manage my son's behavior. We were referred to Seesaw (and some other professionals). After speaking to a few, I felt that the fit was much better with Seesaw and Dr. Sabrina, who was very down-to-earth and easy to speak with. The philosophy behind Seesaw also resonated with me more, as it is really focused on kids of all ages with a varying range of services to accomplish whatever objective you have as a parent. We had an intake meeting, a regular virtual session, and then an in-person session where I brought our son to meet Dr. Sabrina. Dr. Sabrina walked us through some helpful strategies on how to respond when our son was acting up. Before and after each of our sessions, she would send over additional reading resources as a supplement. The first book she recommended "The Incredible Years" has actually been very helpful in helping to reframe our mindset as parents. We have already seen some success in our son is behaving and while we know there is still a long journey ahead of us, we feel much better prepared now to go down this road. After a couple of sessions, we felt like we had enough to work with as we were already starting to revisit the same themes and concepts but at least now I know that there is a resource to go to for any ad hoc behavior situations that arise in the future.

    I've been to both Seesaw locations (this one and SF) and they consistently maintain a high level of…read moreprofessionalism while in a comfortable, welcoming environment. Dr. Gabel was available to kindly address and guide us through a tough time. Would come back again.
