I've gained valuable tools to improve my relationships, and better understand myself.

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.

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.

Please be careful going into this type of treatment. My counselor Veronica did not respect my…read moreboundaries. Her agenda was clear at the beginning of the session when I told her to focus on the rape and she insisted I deal with long past childhood trauma. I said no. She didn't listen. I was left with feelings of despair and anguish for at least a week. In July 2019 I was strangled and raped. In another instance, Veronica had the audacity to ask me if the strangulation was a "thought" or a "memory." In hindsight I should have told her it was a FACT. Why was she questioning me about my credibility anyway? I'm just saying, as a trauma victim you are very vulnerable and your boundaries should never be ignored due to the therapist's own adgenda. Unacceptable. Beware.

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

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.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have found Suzette James for counseling and guidance!…read moreSuzette is an absolute gem, and her sessions have been nothing short of life-changing for me. As someone who has struggled with stress and anxiety for years, I was skeptical about finding someone who could truly understand and help me navigate through my challenges. From the moment I walked into her office in Folsom, I felt a sense of warmth and comfort. Suzette has this incredible ability to create a safe space where you can freely express yourself without any judgment. Her empathetic nature and genuine concern for her clients immediately put me at ease. I felt like I could finally open up about my struggles without fear of being misunderstood. She doesn't just offer generic advice, instead, she takes the time to truly understand your situation. Through our sessions, she has provided me with invaluable tools and techniques to better manage my stress and anxiety. Whether it's deep breathing exercises, mindfulness practices, or simply talking through my concerns, Suzette always has something to help me cope with whatever l throw at her that day. One of the things I appreciate most about Suzette is her availability and flexibility. Living in Folsom, it's incredibly convenient to have her practice nearby. But even when I'm on the go or unable to make it to her office, she will set up a zoom for me with no problem. Knowing that I can reach out to her whenever I need support brings me a sense of comfort and reassurance. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your well-being and is dedicated to helping you thrive, look no further than Suzette. Trust me, you won't regret it!
