Dr. Molle has been instrumental in saving our relationship and our family. Before meeting Dr…read more Molle, I was very hesitant about seeing any counselor.

My husband and I attended the Reigniting passion seminar conducted by Dr. Barbara Molle. I found…read moreher to be insightful in working with couples around the issues of sexuality, intimacy, and conflict resolution. There were 8 couples in attendance ranging from months long relationships to ours, which is a 27yr marriage. The tools we were given have helped us to work through our issues with a more rational and calm communication style. I would recommend every couple to take this workshop! We will be attending future seminars by Dr. Barbara.

In addition to her kind nature I've noticed that when you are talking with her, she gives you 100% of her attention and focus. I have never met a therapist who listens and processes so intently. Sometimes all we need is to be "heard" and I can say with 100% certainty that Kathryn gives you that attention.

I was matched with Lisa Tannehill as my therapist. She was so warm and gentle and I really felt…read morelike she was listening and making an effort to understand what I was trying to say. I cried a lot so I'm sure some of my words were muddled! In just two sessions she created a safe space for me to talk about emotional issues I didn't even know I had. She encouraged me to carve out time in my day to feel whatever it is I needed to feel. I routinely shove my emotions down because I don't feel I have time for a breakdown. I tend to over-analyze everything and always want an answer. I will get frustrated and upset with myself if I can't find the source of whats making me so upset. Lisa told me it's okay to not know sometimes, you just need to allow yourself to feel. A simple lesson I suppose, but one I'm still learning.

After gently meeting you where you are, these clinicians will collaborate and walk beside you --…read moreholding grounded, trauma-informed space and bearing compassionate witness to your sacred unfolding in the safe container of the therapeutic alliance. Also they are solution-focused, client-centered and dedicated to fostering self-awareness, an extremely technical expertise and specialization which is quite rare these days and an important distinction between them and other practices. Especially refreshing is their openness to intellectual and philosophical exploration -- they welcome thoughtful reflection about the nature of the therapeutic process itself. They relish questions about the therapeutic mask, over-pathologization, the paradoxes, structure, inherent tensions and artificiality of the therapeutic frame, asymmetric authenticity, power dynamics, and performative empathy. You'll feel empowered. They're true partners in healing.

Those giving Dr. Pickar negative reviews are those dissatisfied with his very professional demeanor…read moreand insightful perception. My spouse breached custody orders related to co - parenting more times than I care to remember. Contrary to what others said in their reviews here, he did not favor her. Dr. Pickar basically observed our children with each parent, assessing how each of us was with our children. His behavior with each of our two children was that of a school principal, a bit distant, but chuckling when our then pre schooler said she had candy bars in her bedroom "for company" as though she were a society hostess from the fifties. He was kind, but unemotional and objective. Our children were very comfortable with him despite being very young and having been through quite a bit. Contrary to what someone else said, he also completed the nearly ninety page, very well written report in record time-mere months-something the court social worker had very much requested. His report cited specific incidents and specific issues that drew him to reach his ultimate conclusion-giving me full custody. I really need to wonder about those giving Dr. Pickar such negative reviews; probably the evaluation did not go as they anticipated. Dr. Pickar is not warm and fuzzy; he is not your uncle dressing as Santa on Christmas Eve. He is a professional psychologist, very well trained and experienced, with a job to do-and he does it.

He never did the completed report, my bad for not asking him to finish. Too late to ask now.read more

She came highly recommended by a friend, and I immediately found her to be warm, perceptive and wise. She introduced me to somatic therapy. The process felt a little awkward at first, but it quickly became a major support structure in my life during hard transitions. It's definitely not easy at times. Sharon's good at asking hard questions and venturing into painful territory, but somehow she does so in a way that feels safe and productive. She checks in between sessions, sending little snippets of wisdom and support. She's nimble with crazy schedules, but most importantly it's just amazingly obvious that she has found her calling in life. Even after I moved away from Sonoma County, she kept in touch and continues to help me through this transition. She's been a friend and a mentor. Sharon has my eternal gratitude, I can't recommend her highly enough for therapy.
