I could not overstate the impact Caree has had on me and my family. While counseling support/advice…read moreis highly personal, I can attest that Caree's philosophy and approach is straightforward, simple in nature and therefore easy to apply. Listening to excellent advice is great, but actually implementing change is transformative. Caree provides easy to understand tools, that apply to real life and can be used anytime and anywhere. Her approach is underwritten by a sincere desire to listen, and allow the individual to fully express themselves before opining on what is to be done. No psychological-speak, Caree makes you comfortable because she is relatable and kind in her approach. Her office is warm and inviting - a place you're always happy to go back to. I highly recommend Caree to anyone and everyone.

We've participated in both family sessions and individual sessions, and one thing we all agree on is that she gives us hope. Her approach and techniques have been very useful so far, and even in this early stage, we can already see a light at the end of the tunnel. After meeting with her, we feel encouraged, supported, and optimistic about the healing work ahead. Caree is an excellent therapist from what I can tell, and I genuinely feel that we are in good hands. I'm grateful for her guidance and truly look forward to the growth, healing, and progress we will continue to make together. Highly recommend.

Whitney is all of the things I needed in a therapist but never experienced. I wasn't so sure after…read moreour first session if I'd be returning for a second as she offered something I wasn't ready to accept- someone who accepted me as me and created a loving, safe place for me to just be me. We joke about it all these years later, but coming back for those follow up sessions would be exactly what I needed and truthfully, what I was lacking in my life. Whitney embodies compassion, care, empathy, and love and provides the safety of allowing me to show up as I am on any given day ready to help me unpack whatever I bring her. I came to her at a point in my life when I had shattered as a person. She has been by my side through some incredibly challenging times and there isn't anyone else that I would want in my corner when life happens. Whitney is an incredible therapist. If you are looking for someone who will see you as you are, accept you as you are, and who will walk by your side as you navigate the triumphs and challenges life throws at you, she is the one you need. I think she's pretty amazing and am thankful for her every day.

A few years ago, I found myself at dark point in my life. After a whirlwind of an 8 years in which…read moreI lost some of the most important people in my life, in addition to the pandemic and the ramifications of it, I knew it was time to seek help. I tried one avenue, but it just didn't work. So I went on a search for a different therapist. And that search went on day after day, hour after hour. I spoke to some, but nothing ever felt like it was the right fit. Until one day, when I was feeling defeated, I stumbled upon Whitney. I took a look at her website and read her reviews and felt hopeful for the first time in days. From the moment I first spoke to Whitney, I knew she was the one to help me. Two years later, and I can say with absolute certainty that choosing Whitney to be my therapist was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Whitney is compassionate, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. She knows how to create a warm, comfortable and supportive environment where you feel safe to tell her all your thoughts and feelings. She's patient and kind, and never gives up on finding ways to help you. She has been such a positive light in my life, and has helped me overcome so much. While I'm still a work in progress, it's all thanks to Whitney that I have made it this far. And that is why I recommend and will always recommend Whitney. If you're looking for someone to help you get back onto the path to happiness, you've found her.

Gerri was instrumental in my success with a recent medical procedure. I suffer from extreme anxiety…read moreand fear with most medical situations and I sought out Gerri's help with overcoming these fears prior to my unexpected surgery. While I didn't have time to get as many sessions as I probably needed (the surgery was scheduled the following week), my session with Gerri was so relaxing and comforting. She was warm, welcoming, and completely understanding of my fears, which many other people in the past have given me a hard time about or dismissed, including a medical doctor. With the help of her therapy and the tools she provided, I was able to channel my anxiety and overcome the fear to make it through the procedure with less upset and less distress. Truthfully, I was skeptical at first, but pursued hypnotherapy after being encouraged to try it by my physician and my husband; I am so glad I did!! I truly thank you for all of your help, Gerri!!

I saw Gerry about 9 years ago since I had a series of great experience seeing a famous…read morehypnotherapist in Chicago who resolved my sleep disorder, which I've heard is not easy to resolve. He told me that I was a great patient for hypnotherapy.. having a serious issue resolved in the most part in one session. I continued to see him and needed to listen to his recordings while I fell asleep. I am a total believe in hypnotherapy so I looked for someone in the east bay and Gerry was one of several practitioners I tried. Unfortunately, her session did nothing for any of the issues I came in for. I'm glad that others I belng helped by Gerry.. goes to show that people will be helped by different hypnotherapists. She could have also improved on her techniques : )

I used to hold back, saying only what felt safe. But with Jessica, that changed, and for the first time, I could just be honest and completely open. She listens in a way that makes you feel seen, not just heard. The tools she's given me aren't the kind you forget the moment you leave the room, they actually stick with you. If you're looking for a therapist who will actually meet you where you are and help you become someone stronger, more whole, more yourself, it's her. Jessica is, without exaggeration, the best therapist and one of the best human beings I have ever had the privilege of knowing.

She adjusts her approach to fit YOUR pace and goals, not the other way around I've never stick with therapy before...always been on and off depending on circumstances. But I had an extremely random life issue pop up, so I sought out help asap. Sarah was the only therapist that was taking new patients in the timespan I needed, so I really didn't have any expectations...I just knew I needed help immediately! It turned out to be serendipitous b/c we clicked right off the bat and I'm so thankful things worked out the way they did.

Prior to meeting her, my anxiety and constant doubt crippled me from doing so many things in my life that I wanted to explore. Working with her helped me see that I don't work for anxiety! I'm not held captive by anxiety! Yes, she worked with me to understand my anxiety issues, but... more importantly, she helped me identify my core values and how I want to live my life. I learned that anxiety is just one part of me. Once I accepted that, I knew that I had a choice, be a slave every day to fighting my anxiety or just let it ride along while I focus and experience the things in life that are most valuable to me. With her incredible wisdom and support, I was able to choose the latter. Thank you, Dr. Z!!!!!!
