I am so grateful for Dr Callahan who called me back when I left a distraught VM one evening…read moredesperate for any therapist to just call me back. From our initial conversation I didn't feel like I was talking to someone who was judging me, nor someone who had anything but the purest of intentions for my well being. I wish the healthcare system in the US wasn't such a black hole of money, as I would then be able to use my insurance for assistance with medical care. Who knows, maybe Beto will help us all get the care out state so desperately needs. Basically, Dr. Callahan is a great entry step into taking care of your mental health care. Thank you for being there for me.

Looking for support with mental health and growth can be a daunting task if you are starting from…read morescratch and relying on your research. I share my experience with Hanly to assist in your exploration. Hanly's ability to hold space and ask clarifying questions has taken me from moments of confusion and overwhelm into centered clarity. It's like having a personal guide who isn't caught up in my own habituated coping skills but instead sees the goodness I miss in myself and brings it to light. I've always wanted therapy to be life-affirming, and it is with Hanly. She is very knowledgeable and reaffirming. Often, for me, hearing the science behind things creates stability because I realize I'm not alone, there is science backing up what I've always considered "my flaws." I know I've found the right support when I leave someone's presence and feel more empowered, more trusting, and more like myself. I highly recommend Hanly's services if you're looking for support to grow into yourself.

As far as picking a therapist goes... You can't go wrong with Stewart Gallas. If you are struggling…read moreto change things within your life, he can help. I sincerely believe I would not be alive today, if it wasn't for him. I've struggled with extreme anxiety and depression my entire life. I thought I was doomed to a life of sadness. He was truly the first person who believed in my future... causing me to believe in it as well. He challenges me every single time we talk. Sometimes, I dig myself deep into the ground with feelings of uselessness... And without fail, he's always there with a ladder, showing me the way out. He isn't your typical pen and pad therapist. He gives you his undivided attention. He's solution-focused. He also happens to be hilarious-- which provides a sense of comfort and relief when things feel too heavy. He is extremely empathic, always going through the hard stuff with you, rather than just standing by on the sidelines. Seriously, this therapist rocks. If you are truly motivated to work on yourself, look no further than Stewart.

He helped me see reality for what it is and taught me how not to be ruled by my own mind. Chris has a gift for using analogies that speak directly to the heart, making complex ideas easy to understand. That approach allowed me to quickly grasp the insights he shared. Even now, I check in with him from time to time, and I continue to be amazed by his deep understanding of addiction and recovery. He never presents himself as anything other than a genuine human being with a sincere desire to help alleviate suffering in others. I'm beyond grateful.

Working with Chris over the past three plus years has truly changed my life in ways that are hard…read moreto put into words, but I'll try because he deserves that and more. When I first met Chris, I was in a place where hope felt completely out of reach. I had relapsed more times than I could count, and even my doctor saw that traditional medicine and therapy wasn't going to be enough to save me; so she recommended Chris to me. Chris didn't swoop in with quick fixes or empty promises. Instead, he met me exactly where I was -- broken, stubborn, scared -- and somehow still saw the part of me that was worth fighting for. Through patience, honesty, and a kind of deep intuitive wisdom that can't be taught, he helped me reconnect with the part of myself I thought was long gone. Working with Chris isn't about being told what to do -- it's about being guided, gently but firmly, back to your own inner strength. He believes in meeting each person where they are and helping them build a new path forward, one real, steady step at a time. He created a space where I could heal, fall, get back up, and slowly, surely, start living again with purpose and love. Thanks to Chris, I don't just survive my days anymore -- I live them. I walk through challenges now with clarity and grace I didn't know I had. I still stumble sometimes -- that's life -- but the difference now is I know who I am, and I trust the person I am becoming. Chris helped me find myself again. And if you're willing to show up and be honest, even when it's hard, he can help you find yourself too. I'm endlessly grateful for the work we've done together, and for the fire inside me that he helped me protect and grow. Thank you, Chris, for being a guide, a teacher, and one of the reasons I'm still standing today.

She has helped my wife and I through difficult times and taught us how to start growing toward each other, not further apart. She has given me the comfort, wisdom, courage, and support I need to finally begin winning my own battles with anxiety and depression. She takes an active role in my healing, listening when I need it, but offering so much more. She challenges me. She gives me new skills to practice and ideas to try. She recommends things to read. She has helped me unbury feelings I never knew I had, and make sense of them. She taught me to be kinder to myself. And she creates a safe place to say things you've never said, to cry when you've held it in for so long, and to discover the "you" that you may have long ago buried. I still have a lot of room to grow, but I know that I am a happier, kinder, and more authentic version of myself because of Patricia. Give her a call if you are curious if she can help you. I'm forever grateful that I did.

Patricia was great and was easy to schedule with over email and even spoke to us before the session on the phone due to our own time restraints. During one session I feel Patricia was able to help us immensely. I feel we both came out of the session with a better understanding of how one another functions, copes, and relates. We instantly felt comfortable with Patricia and she had great skill and insight. If you are looking for a family or women's issue therapist I would definitely go see her!

Paige Bartholomew and I started working together about two years ago. I needed a therapist who…read morecould accommodate and understand my unique life experiences and spiritual path. I reached out to Paige and we were an immediate fit. Paige intuitively balanced intellectual discussions about my shadows with heart centered practices and spiritual wisdom that was congruent with my spiritual path. I am so grateful to her for her guidance and support these past two years. If you are in the need of someone you can trust and talk with about making positive changes in your life, I cannot recommend a brighter soul.

Paige is hands down the best therapist that I have ever personally experienced. I have been…read moresearching for so long for a good fit. I have gone through so many people over the years and have felt so defeated and really worse than when I started. I was simply searching for someone authentic and kind and who genuinely cares and doesn't cut you off mid-sentence to say that time is up. Her incredibly unique approach to therapy is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR for the entire industry and should genuinely be the standard of care. She offers an entirely different experience, and the effects of her approach are almost immediate. I have never felt so listened to and heard. She genuinely wants to help me with what I am coming to her for, and I can feel it, and that alone is so tremendously healing. Her approach is an incredible blend of methodical, gentle, focused, and fluid based on your needs for that day. She marries the art and science of therapy in a way that works so quickly for my brain and heart. If you are seeking genuine support through life's complexities and are through with the typical experience that traditional therapy offers, have a consult with Paige and you will know right away what I mean. If you are struggling with big life decisions, need guidance and clarity, need to work through trauma, or need to work through something big or small, please do not wait one more second to book a consultation. You will not regret it. I will be with her all the way to the finish line...(If there is there a finish line for this work. ). I know that therapy can be kind of miserable. It's not with Paige. It's genuinely lovely. Even when you are working through something hard, she won't let you leave the call mid-misery. She will bring you somewhere better than when you came on.

I spent nearly 8 months doing weekly therapy with Engracia. Engracia is a gifted therapist who is…read morecommitted to helping people. I found her approach unique since she has knowledge of and the ability to use more than one therapy technique with her clients. I was in a situation where I had become disconnected from my body and couldn't recognize how my body felt as waves of emotions went through me. Engracia used EMDR to help me reconnect with my body. If she found I wasn't responding or making enough progress with EMDR, she would adapt and try something else which I found very helpful. Engracia also comes from a place of personal experience and can relate to her patients trauma. The relational aspect of her approach helped me be more open and share authentically about past experiences. If you're considering EMDR therapy, I recommend working with Engracia. She is committed to helping people heal and move past old traumas.

This is just regarding Diana Schaefer. The facility has been beyond kind and helpful, and I hope to…read morefind a therapist here that fits my needs. -- Years and years ago, a therapist told me I was a whore for kissing a boy on the first date. I thought that would forever be my worst story of therapy gone wrong, of a therapist superimposing their own beliefs and issues on me. Diana hit a new record. She "fired" me as a client and pulled wildly unethical moves before doing so. I wholly believe that there is a time to part ways when therapy isn't serving the client or when a client is rejecting help from the therapist to everyone's detriment. Therapists have just as much of a right to end the relationship as clients do. The reason I'm writing this has nothing to do with the farewell and everything to do with how it was handled. I have an eating disorder. I made it clear from the start that I didn't care that she didn't specialize in them. I'd had enough therapy around eating disorders and wanted to take a new approach. I also told her in our first session that if she thought it wasn't a fit to have open communication because I would be doing so. I've played the "suffer through a relationship that isn't working" game too much at this point in therapy. We had weekly sessions for months. I thought many of them were helping. But then I told her how many calories I consumed during the week. That was undeniably the point where she flipped. We talked for a month or so more. She started talking to my dietician more. That seemed logical to me. And then she started telling my therapist I needed to go to treatment. Asking her why she hadn't suggested it or wasn't pushing it on me. (She has.) I am in no way a high risk anorexic. Perhaps treatment wouldn't hurt but my life right now prioritizes above something that isn't necessary. She pressured me and I said no, several times. And then the day came where she let me tell her about my life before interrupting and starting the conversation of removal of services provided. Like I mentioned, that alone wasn't the issue. What WAS the issue was that she had also called my dietician and tried to pressure her into leaving me. To the point of my dietician's discomfort and recognition that abandonment on that level would be detrimental and more harmful that good. (How Diana didn't see that, I don't know.) She gave me an ULTIMATUM of treatment or no therapy. She told me I COULD NOT go to therapy ANYWHERE until I dealt with my eating disorder. (And no, this wasn't just in reference to being cognitively unable to proceed with EMDR.) She wouldn't give me referrals. She made fun of the shirt I was wearing that day that said, "Mental health is health," because I wouldn't go to treatment. I was in utter shock during that last session so I didn't really have responses beyond saying no to treatment and that I understood where she was coming from. But none of those things are okay and I should have said that to her then. I regret that. Fuck that. I deserve therapy. Everyone does. She clearly spooked when eating disorder stuff came up, was not educated on it, and chose to bully and threaten me instead of just saying, "I'm not qualified in this topic and don't feel comfortable proceeding." Period. Period. Period. If you don't fit in her little box of qualifications, stay away. And if you pick up any of her own anxieties, leave. It's not worth wasting your time.
