I highly recommend Doctor Allard as both her office is peaceful and her presence and sound judgment, utmost professionalism and years of experience and expertise make for every session worth every second there. Always look forward to the next visit. I've tried to find a good psychologist over the years, but alas, I'll never have to look again! Best on the Peninsula.

Although I can see she discourages reviews, I couldn't help but posting because I feel she is unique and worthy of contacting should you wish to gain help from a mental health professional.

I appreciate her unique approach to therapy using modern therapy techniques and technology. I would only recommend Anne to my friends. With Anne, you have the feeling of a therapist who truly cares about your well-being. She is always compassionate, professional, and helpful during sessions. Her space is comfortable and healing. Finally, she doesn't try to keep people in therapy, but helps them heal so they don't need therapy. I disagree with the other review on this page. If you live in Sonoma and need a healing therapy session I would whole heartedly recommend Dr. Bearheart.

Align Recovery is beyond special and will always hold a special place in my heart. From the moment…read moreI arrived, I felt welcomed, supported, and genuinely cared for. What makes Align different is that it is truly solution based. The staff doesn't just help you get sober--they help you build a foundation for a better life. Every aspect of the program is designed to support healing, growth, and long term recovery. The owners, counselors, support staff, cleaning staff, and even the pets all play a role in creating an environment that feels safe, welcoming, and full of hope. They became like family during a time when I needed it most. A special thank you to Stella, whose homemade meals brought comfort and warmth every single day. You can feel the love and care that goes into everything she does. I arrived feeling lost, and I left with a renewed sense of purpose and direction. I can honestly say that I became aligned at Align, and for that, I will be forever grateful.

Well, I went here for detox only. I was unhappy so I went somewhere else for residential. First,…read morelet me say that every other client I spoke to was happy here... Why wasn't I? They pushed me into groups when I was still detoxing, the food was awful and you had to buy your own snacks, they messed with my meds... Also, they were very strict about phones. Overly so....food was awful. Like I said, everyone I talked to here was happy here...,but I elected to go to residential at Bayside Marin and I'm much happier here. I didn't stay long enough to get a true impression of their program but if they had not messed with my medication, had halfway decent food, snacks and coffee, and had a more sensible phone policy I might have stayed. Have met two other people here at Bayside who literally hated Align.....YMMV
