After trying some therapists I was thinking that therapy just wasn't for me. I mean I needed it,…read morebut none of them helped. A few seemed like they needed my help, in fact. My sister recommended I see Val. I reluctantly did so and I'm super glad that I did. Right off the bat, I was impressed at how she didn't make me feel like I needed psycho analysis, I didn't need the Pollyanna treatment. I was greeted with empathy, intelligence and a person that was able to start helping me on my first visit. If you are intelligent and you see through a lot of crap, go see Val. She doesn't play games.

I worked with Sophie weekly for eight years. I will miss her as she leaves San Francisco for the…read morenext chapter in her life. My life has been enriched as the result of working with her in ways I could never satisfactorily describe. Sophie is a special human being. She is a gifted listener who holds a compassionate, non-judgmental space. She is an articulate teacher full of profound wisdom. She welcomed and accepted all parts of me. She has been perhaps the most influential person in my life to date, and I am the man and the partner I am today because of her guidance. Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and like any intimate relationship, it must be the right fit. But my message to those who will begin their work with Sophie as she arrives in her new city: you are inheriting a blessing. Thank you, Sophie, for more than I could ever repay.

Kira is amazing. Very easy going. I always get a good vibe from her when I have my life coaching…read moresession with her. I don't get that feeling with a lot of counselors, therefore, this is a huge thing for me to say. I'm gad that she moved her practice within the city. Very awesome at listening without judgement and very encouraging. She indulges me in my offbeat sense of humor which is appreciated. I feel good after her sessions with new goals and ideas that I worked out myself through openly talking and with her asking appropriate questions to get me thinking a little bit more outside the box so that I can creatively come to my own conclusions. I can't wait to see her again in March.

What you can see only after you take a cold shower from this extremely rude, condescending and judgmental individual on the phone is none is older than one month ago! At his request, I tried to feed him as much info on my complex situation, in the space of the max 30 minutes we had. I asked him to interrupt me whenever he wants and ask me more focused questions, which he did. Sometimes it was hard to hear him (he put me on speaker on his end), and I frequently had to ask him twice what he was mumbling about. He wanted any answer in either black or white, without saying so. When, at some question, I tried to say why in my mind it wasn't either yes or no, he became extremely rude, he practically verbally attacked me and he hung up. And no, I've been always extremely polite, listening, doing my best to pass the info I knew about. I truly regret I did not record our phone conversation, because I would have addressed a complain as well to his professional ethical committee. AVOID AT ANY PRICE!

When I wrote in to him, I clearly explained that we wanted to see him in person, instead he booked us for zoom consultation. Seems he doesn't care about privacy issue or not a care about talking about a persons intimate issues over zoom. It took me more than a year to convince him to see someone for help, just when he agreed, this therapist had to screw it up. I have to start all over again. Perhaps it is a sign that he's not a peoples person. One star for ruining all my effort.

I went to Cheryl Woolstone for couples therapy quite a few years ago and she resolved our problems…read morein just 4-5 sessions. We learned communication skills that have proven effective over the last 10 years. We did a couple of follow-up sessions a couple of years after first seeing her and haven't needed her help again. She's good if you are ready to go deep quickly. If you are trying to figure out life questions (like, should we move? Take that job?) she's not so great but if you are having "you just won't listen... I can't seem to get through to you... Why aren't we close anymore? Why aren't we having sex anymore? You drive me nuts ... I don't think you love me anymore..." she'll help you get back to intimacy.

I got the sense that she thought I was low income, which I am not and that I could not afford her services. I would rather see a counselor without a Phd with heart and natural abilities in counseling than someone who might be book smart, is she a kind person? I think not. Since when is it OK to claim to be a healer or a person who helps and leaves you feeling sick and hurt inside. I personally had an experience that stayed and I would never write a review like this had it not been something I remembered.

No Rapport 2.) Accent made it tough to understand everything 3.) After being told (before my first session) that the doctor was available at 7pm on weekdays. He said its "summer" and he'd rather work earlier in the day. I work Monday to Friday and cannot make an earlier time work. Further I don't want to spend nearly $200/hr on someone who would rather work a different time. After calling with my frustration and requesting to see another doctor or be refunded they refused. Don't pay $200 an hour for something or someone you are not totally sure about because there is no chance that is coming back. Spoke with the managing director she was't helpful in any way.
