I am thick, dense with old *stuff*, both in terms of thinking patterns as well as energy that gets stored in my body. She understands this imbalanced state of mind/body/spirit deeply and has a very gentle but assured way of helping me understand and dismantle it. This review can only provide a gloss-over, so I suggest you sit in front of her once to get a felt sense of her qualities and insightful interaction. Thanks Beth!

Her intuitive meditation insights and animal communication support. Beth has given such supportive insight that it's helped both me and my connection to my animals in tremendous ways.

She is truly one of the most intelligent people I know, and is a gifted educator and supervisor/consultant. I have visited her seminars, and have been impressed by the relationships developed with her students. She was kind enough to help me with curriculum development around harm reduction issues, and has often passed on interesting readings and useful resources. She is dedicated to the profession in a way that few therapists are. She is also a fantastic mentor, especially if you are looking to learn nuanced ways of looking at clinical material. Dr. Addison is also a tireless advocate for others (queer people, people of color, kinky/poly people) and has her finger on the pulse of the most current size-positive political movements of the day. I would heartily recommend her if you are looking for someone with immense sensitivity and cultural humility.

She taught the importance of sisterhood and support networks for building strong mental, emotional, and physical health. It was a great bonding experience for us and we also got to know many other awesome women in the process. There were tears, hugs, sharing, revelations, and lots of laughter. You could tell everyone was feeling the message, relating to the stories, purging old pain, and letting in new light as well. Lynda encouraged us to embrace our femininity while setting realistic boundaries, celebrating our wins, and pursuing our personal & progessgoals with confidence. You can tell by the way she engaged with the group in a real, honest and inspiring way that she truly has a passion for uplifting women and helping them find their strength to embrace their true potential.

I feel somewhat torn about Dr. Spaulding. He did a good job medically with my cancer, but from a…read morepersonal/emotional standpoint he was one of the worst doctors I've ever seen. After he diagnosed me (back in 2004), I was terrified. I asked him if I should get a second opinion. He said, with an exaggerated air, "Well, you can if you want to, but another doctor will tell you the same thing." It made me feel trapped. If he said anything comforting or kind to me, I don't remember it. Later, after my surgery, I thought something was wrong and I went to him for a followup exam. I feared the cancer might be in a new location. I was upset and anxious and his exam was, from my point of view, cursory. He laid hands on me for literally 2 seconds, then withdrew and said, "You're fine". I was stunned that he could say that after just a brief moment. I wasn't sure he was right, but he seemed so arrogant and cocksure that I felt too intimidated to ask for a more thorough exam. I learned from the experience to not allow doctors to push me around like that again. At the time, I left his office feeling no better or safer than when I walked in. As it turned out, he was right. So he seems to be a good doctor. But for years I've meant to write him a letter, telling him how his terrible personal manner added to the overall trauma of dealing with my cancer. Maybe he'll read this and be kinder to future patients. I'll never forget how I felt under his care.

I tried to book an appointment with Dr. Spaulding and the people who pickup the phone wanted a very…read morespecific reason I wanted to see the doctor. I told them I'm happy to talk with the doctor about that but they refused. After I insisted this to the second assistant who picked up the phone, she finally told me Dr. Spaulding is retiring in December and not seeing any new patients, right after the prior woman told me he was seeing new patients. I don't mind sharing my medical issues, but completely unprofessional to expect me to share private medical issues with somebody who has no medical training at all. Beyond that, why lie and tell me he's accepting patients if he's not? Then again, I feel like the second assistant told me that to get me off the phone. Good luck in retirement doc! Glad your rude assistants stopped me from coming there.

I'm giving Dr Gabby 5 stars for her clinical skill , positive impact, ability to be real, ability…read moreto see and "get" both me and my partner, and her effectiveness with couples as a therapist. I saw Dr Gabby back in 2014 - I have thought about her all these years because after meeting with other therapists who had clean offices and were on time, I realize her value overall as a Therapist. My partner has many anger issues, and grew up with a lot of trauma. We saw several very qualified therapists with impressive offices and with professional boundaries - my partner needed a lot of help with our relationship for us to maintain our relationship and I needed a Therapist who had life experience, diverse perspective, ability to address big issues while being compassionate yet real. For some reason my partner would not be honest with other therapists but he felt comfortable enough to be very honest with Dr Gabby. He was most responsive to her (despite the fact that she has a messy office and sessions don't always start on time.). I will add however that once we saw her, we were very satisfied with our session and got our full time. I also appreciated her being a Therapist who is. a person of color - my partner and I are bicultural and she really got some issues between us which no other Therapist has been able to empathize with or get. She is not a "Therapist Robot" who emulates a perfectly trained therapist. But she definitely exudes wisdom, heart and a real sense of getting the complexities that can go along with being human. Her human-ness comes through for sure, but I was ok with issues with time and cleanliness in exchange for being understood and feeling satisfied with my relationship goals. I realize there are Therapists who can be clean, on time and professional, but she was a real human and quite funny. Also, she takes insurance which is an absolute pain to manage. Most good therapists don't take insurance because they don't want the hassle and don't care that they are not affordable.

Disheveled appearance, filthy office and completely unprofessional. She showed up 15 minutes late…read more She looked like a bag lady. Her office was strewn with food, papers, and was absolutely disgusting. I don't know where to sit but find an empty chair to fill out paperwork. Her dog starts nipping on me. I tell her I wasn't aware of the dog, and would prefer not to have the dog as a distraction during the session. She leaves and then immediately comes back, with the dog, and asks if I want to cancel. It's obvious she does not want to remove the dog, so I agree, and suggest she inform patients of this to make sure it's ok. She says I'm the only patient in 4,000 to ever say this. Then as I'm walking out she sarcastically says, "Good luck with your therapy!" Completely unprofessional through and through. And gross too! Update to Response: The pictures speak for themselves, there was food, trash, cups, strewn about. The carpet had disgusting stains. Nothing indicated a renovation, it's simply filthy. Why not take ownership and make a change instead of coming up with excuses and outright lies? Btw, plenty of other reviewers have said your office is filthy for years, so no one buys your stories. As for the bag lady comment, by saying it was implying race, YOU'RE the racist one! You're disheveled, you wore some old uggs, your hair was a mess, and you certainly did not reflect a medical or health professional. Your office is simply a reflection of you. I have no intention of seeking your services because there is nothing professional about you and to top it off, you were rude and inappropriate. And I'm a woman of color, and don't appreciate you using that angle to get away with your inexcusable conduct.

Dr. B is absolutely amazing!…read more I have been a competitive rower for over 6 years and was injured from a fall while running. Needless to say, the injury was handled improperly by UCSF from the onset, and subsequently I developed severe complications. When all the doctors gave up, Dr. B stuck with me. She not only healed me with her chiropractic knowledge and skills, she helped me move through the roller coaster of progress and set backs that a person experiences from a chronic injury. I am happy to say that after more than a year, I am now back rowing and will hopefully be competing again in the spring thanks to Dr. B. What to expect: Dr. B is very straight forward-- she is extremely knowledgable and can figure out what your body needs and how to fix it. She doesn't push future visits on you (although she will recommend them if you need them). She won't insist you buy vitamins, orthotics, foam pillows, specialty crystals, or any new age fiddle faddle. Bottom line: She will fix you and tell you what you need (or don't need) to do in order to heal or stay well. If you're looking for a great, honest to goodness chiropractor-- Dr. B is the REAL DEAL.
