It is deep, powerful somatic work. Viraja has an intuitive knowing, paired with a wealth of modalities, to help in guiding me back to my own inner wisdom. I also started doing couples sessions with my husband after working with Viraja one-on-one. We have found the sessions very connecting, opening up new ways of being and understanding one another. I am excited about the potential this work can do to deepen and enliven our relationship! It has already helped us so much, especially in holding onto our own connection as we navigate early parenting. I can't recommend Viraja more- both on the personal and relationship level!

Tari truly changed our marriage. After four years of marriage and two kids in two years, my husband…read moreand I found ourselves stuck in a rut. We loved each other deeply, but we felt more like roommates juggling work and parenting than partners. We had tried traditional couples therapy together and individually, but we just weren't making real progress. A friend suggested we try alternative therapy, which I had honestly never considered before. After some research, we found Tari -- and being able to schedule Sunday morning sessions with our busy lives made the decision even easier. From the moment we walked into his office, we realized this experience would be very different from traditional therapy in the best possible way. The environment is private, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to create comfort and openness. Tari helped us communicate in a way that felt safe, non-judgmental, and focused on genuine connection -- no blame, no scorekeeping, just understanding. On a personal level, Tari helped me reconnect with my sensual side after years of pregnancy and breastfeeding, a part of myself I had truly lost. He helped both of us rediscover the closeness and intimacy we had before kids, and our relationship is stronger because of it. We are so grateful and highly recommend Tari to any couple looking to reconnect. Five stars without hesitation.

Working with Tari at Closeness Therapy has been one of the most impactful parts of my personal…read moregrowth journey. He has a rare ability to truly see and understand both sides of a relationship, and his insight into the male perspective has helped me make sense of dynamics in my marriage in ways I couldn't access on my own. I have felt deeply supported, but never coddled -- Tari offers compassion alongside honest, necessary truths, and that balance is where real change happens. What sets him apart is how practical and usable his guidance is. I don't leave sessions with abstract ideas; I leave with tools, language, and perspectives I can actually apply in real life. His suggestions are thoughtful, grounded, and immediately helpful. One of my favorite parts of our work together lately has been our walking sessions. There's something powerful about moving physically while also working through emotional weight -- burning calories while burning through the things that have been weighing on me. It makes the process feel active, embodied, and forward-moving, just like the growth I've experienced. Tari has supported me through every layer of this journey with steadiness, insight, and care. If you're looking for a therapist who combines deep understanding, practical guidance, and a genuinely human approach, I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Dr. Sayaka has literally been nothing short of a LIFE CHANGER for my husband and I, individually…read moreand as a married couple together. I am aware her main focus is sexual therapy, but she's also an excellent individual and couples relationship therapist, so please consider her if you need that, as well. A note for those afraid of or think therapy is not for them: Luckily, my husband and I have never had hangups about seeking professional assistance off and on when we get "stuck." We've seen a variety of therapists throughout our relationship from about year #2 on. That sounds like we have major issues, but we really don't. We are 16+ years into our very happy and successful monogamous relationship. We love and respect each other, we are each others' best friend, and we enjoy each other's company more than anyone else's on this planet - and always have. We live, work, and spend ~23 hours of every day together - BY CHOICE. No relationship is or can be perfect, but that hasn't stopped us from trying! When we identify an issue that keeps popping up and can't seem to work it out ourselves, we seek help to get past it. We love and respect each other so much that we know it is important. We aren't egotistical enough to think going to therapy is weak or that if we can't work it out on our own, it is not meant to be. We realize that couples who have issues and choose NOT to seek help are the ones that don't value their relationship. We value ours so much that seeking help is a no-brainer and it has always served us well. Having said that, of all the therapists we have seen, Dr. Sayaka has been the best, hands down. She has helped us both individually and in sessions together to fix some MAJOR life-long issues we each have that affected our relationship together and with others. There has to come a time when you "graduate," as she calls it, and while we both would still enjoy fine tuning ALL of our issues, Dr. Sayaka gleefully told us one day that we've graduated and there is no need to come in for regular sessions anymore. In our experience, this is unheard of; almost all therapists are happy to continue to take your money as long as you want to give it. Dr. Sayaka was goal oriented in her approach and knew further sessions would have diminishing returns since we had both grown so much individually and together over the 1.5 year we spent with her. She pushed us out of her nest! Between the two of us, we worked on issues such as letting go of childhood trauma, abandonment issues, alcoholic tendencies, anger, unrealistic expectations, getting closer and deeper emotionally, being vulnerable in general and with others, trust, not needing other's approval and wanting everyone to like you, respecting individual time/needs, perfectionism, and more. We covered a lot of ground and we each have grown a TON. And, so yes, sex is also much better since we are closer. It's all actually pretty amazing. You have to be willing to show up, do the work, and be active in your growth along the way to see the amount of change we have seen. But, it's worth the investment in time and money if you are at a point where you are ready for REAL change. Many people WANT change, but aren't willing to work for it or move through the uncomfortableness needed to achieve it. We were both there and willing, so we saw the results with her guiding us every step of the way. Now that we have graduated, we still practice the homework she assigned us, which is key to having lasting results. We love it though and it doesn't feel like homework; it feels like we get to play fun games together and benefit from them - a win-win! We even proactively share some of the exercises with our friends because we have seen such amazing results from them. I could go on and on about Dr. Sayaka, but in short, if you're stuck, you want change, are willing to work for it, and don't know where to start...RUN (don't walk) to Dr. Sayaka. She will greet you with her warm compassion and smile. She will be direct, present and compassionate. She will sit silently holding a space for you as long as you need and even cry with you through the uncomfortable times and the great breakthroughs. She is emotionally intelligent, as well as very intuitive. She is NOT a normal therapist; I'd put her up against anyone out there...and I have been to MANY therapists in the past. She is the one who has "fixed" us, individually and together, for now. We both have an easily accessible armory of tools to refer to when our instincts kick back in and we could not be more grateful to her for that. Will we likely see her again? Yes. Because we don't have expectations we won't have something in 5 or 10 years that comes up as our lives change that will benefit from an outside impartial professional. But, I can honestly say that I look forward to that day. If you are not growing and changing for the better, what are you doing with your life? And with growth, comes growing pains. It's OK. GO SEE HER.

Carrie encouraged me to try this modality of treatment and thank goodness I did. I'm two weeks out from the therapy session and I am completely pain free!!! Honestly, while she was doing the therapy I was questioning in my head if this could possibly help as it didn't feel like she was doing all that much but let me tell you.... IT WORKS! I'm thrilled beyond belief and ever so grateful that I met her and was introduced to this naturopathic modality of treatment. I don't know how this works but I love that it does! Furthermore, Carrie is truly a lovely human being and I was comfortable throughout the entire session. I was fully clothed which I also was grateful for.

I'm not someone who talks about much, really, but this turned out to be the best investment I've made in myself. While it's expensive, it's worth it. Even just going for "maintenance" sessions is helpful. I started off every other week, but that wasn't enough, so I went once, sometimes twice a week for a couple of months. After that, I was able to use the tools she gave me in the real world, and the benefits really stick. You matter to people in this world, so you have to matter to yourself too.
