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.

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 :)

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.

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.

Over a year ago, my husband and I saw Dr. Navarra when we were not sure if we could (or should)…read moresave our marriage. He was our second couple's counselor and recommended by my brother, also a psychologist. I thought Dr. Navarra was amazing. He was humble, wise, insightful, and kind. He is a Certified Gottman Therapist, and I found that method to be instructive and helpful. Dr. Navarra guided us in exercises to do together, and that moved things along. Also, we had a choice of 50 or 80 minute sessions - I sometimes liked the longer sessions so that we had time to delve deeper. I recommend him to my friends who are in long-term relationships and want a counselor. If we had a relationship to save, I believe he would've helped us save it. I believe we got clarity more quickly in our work with him that, in fact, there wasn't actually a marriage to save. If there had been, he would've been the navigator to help steer that ship.

We began seeing Robert shortly after the workshop, and have been seeing him as a couple for 7 months. He is a great couples therapist, keeping equal his treatment of both people.

He has really helped my husband and I work better together, and has helped guide us to a much better, and more intimate relationship. He understands couples in recovery, and specializes in recovery therapy. His office is very 70's, and is kind of depressing. Very small room, with a huge roll top oak desk which fills much of the room.

Her ability to make us both feel at ease got us to really make incredible improvements in our goals. She has incredible knowledge and experience and is the best therapist we have ever had.

I originally looked on Yelp and read the reviews for Searching Pathways and Dr. Robert Mitchell. His outlined approach and the positive reviews matched exactly what I was looking for. My experience with our in-person therapy sessions has fully lived up to those expectations. Going into it, I wasn't entirely aware of all that I was "carrying." Dr. Mitchell created a safe, welcoming environment for me to unpack and resolve lingering issues in my present that were being influenced by my past. The people in my life and my relationships have noticed a genuinely positive impact, and I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done and the tools Dr. Mitchell has provided me.
