A review of our relationship with the firm of Kelly and Kasey…read more My wife and I are parents of a son with special conditions. These conditions became apparent only recently and baffled our son's school officials and us. In spite of many parent/teacher meetings and to our dismay, our son's struggles continued and even worsened. Less than a year ago, we lost my father - our son's grandfather - and we attributed this to his difficulties. However, much to our heartbreak, our son continued his downward path. It was at this point that my wife and I decided to seek professional help. Desert Marriage & Family Counseling was strongly recommended to my wife through her valley business network. We met with Kelly Lewallen, LMFT, and were greatly impressed by her professionalism, knowledge, and manner in which she explained a very delicate condition. Her handling of this heartbreaking episode in our lives was nothing short of miraculous. She was introduced to our son and quickly established a rapport with him that was kind, gentle, and reassuring. Moreover, she gently but firmly assured two worried guilt-ridden parents where the root cause of our son's difficulties lay. Needless to say, my wife and I were much relieved to finally know the real cause of our son's issues. Kelly then brought to bear her professional staff member, Kasey, to begin setting up a plan that recognized our son's condition and would allow him to fully utilize his scholastic skills and lead a full and satisfying life. Kasey immediately connected with our son and he was enthusiastic about his school plan. When we met with school officials, staff member Kasey accompanied us to present the plan she had drawn up as well as answer questions raised by the school officials. Currently, the school district is evaluating this plan but we are very glad to see that our son has re-engaged his schoolwork and is doing much better. None of this would have been possible but for Kelly, Kasey and the Desert Marriage & Family Counseling, Inc. We owe them a debt of gratitude that goes beyond mere words. Joanne and Ric M.

I had contacted this behavioral health group to see if I could get couples counseling for my…read morehusband and I. When I spoke with Iris she said she would check for any availabilities and unfortunately there were no providers available at that time. I guess I made sort of a distressed sound since the process of trying to get a counselor had been going on for weeks and had been very frustrating but she told me that she would look up our insurance and see if she could find any doctors that maybe we hadn't heard of before and would text that information to me. She texted it less than an hour and a half from my phone call and I was sincerely surprised because literally do I do not usually speak to such nice people and then they do me a favor, a big ask, without even me being their customer. To be honest on my very first phone call we were able to get a therapist and we have an appointment with next week, and an appointment a week for the next month. I felt that Iris went way above and beyond for somebody she didn't even know and those are the kind of people that should be rewarded and thanked and normalized. Thank you Iris for all that you did, especially for a faceless stranger on the phone.

Dr. Kirkpatrick is by far the most impressive therapist I have ever worked with. She is well…read moreeducated in multiple areas, she is able to dive in and deal with just about any issue. Her diversity in her practice is impressive. The quality I find most important in a therapist are the two things she possesses. Dr. Kirkpatrick LISTENS and CARES. I never felt alone in my sessions. She walks with you on your journey without judgement. She has provided me with encouragement to make positive changes while learning about myself. Dr. Kirkpatrick above all, has the utmost integrity of anyone I know.

She is very down to earth, sincere, congenial, smart, knowledgeable, kind, and empathetic. During my neuropsychological interview and testing, she made me very comfortable. Everything was straightforward and made easy for me to respond to. I feel I was lucky to have her. It was like I was with a friend. She brought out the best in me and made me comfortable to tell her things. There were no hidden agendas. She is an amazing and extraordinary woman. (Another neuropsychologist I had previously worked with did not make me comfortable at all and wasn't friendly.) Dr. Farinpour was very efficient and prompt in completing the detailed report and getting it to my neurologist in a timely manner. I was very impressed with her and would highly recommend her."

I first went to Jennifer for individual therpy and then couples thearpy. I have been in…read moretraditional talk Thearpy for years - I only wish I would have found Jennifer a long time ago. I have gone to two other hypnotherapist and did not have the same five star experience as with Jennifer. She is top notch. Truly talented. I have been seeing her for almost two years - but not like every week. At your session she gives you a personalized meditation specific to your issues. And then you listen to them. Jennifer has helped me through two major life transitions: most recently the death of my father. I like that I get the personalized downloads and I can use them for awhile and I only go back for new issues. Just at note: When I first looked at yelp - I noticed with all of the 5 star reviews - there is also three at the bottom - this is a flaw in yelps software because it does not allow new Yelpers to give a stared review and it lists them under "Reviews that are Not Recommended" but they are also glowing reviews... And I am so glad to have found Jennifer.

For years I've had tension headaches due to poor posture. I knew I needed to work on my posture but…read morefelt overwhelmed at the idea of retraining years of sitting and standing habits so I was reluctant to get started. My husband recommended I look into trying Alexander Technique and a quick search led me to Constance who is based nearby. I loved working with Constance from the very first lesson. She welcomed me into her cozy studio and I immediately felt at home in her warm, relaxed presence. I began feeling better after incorporating things she showed in in my very first lesson. I signed up for 10 lessons and began seeing her once or twice a week. Each week we built on what was learned before and I began to have a real shift in the way I held and used my body -- even friends and family started comment. Best of all, I had a big reduction in my headaches which went from being almost daily to just a few times a month. A few years went by and I decided to start seeing Constance again to refresh and work on my Alexander Technique. Again I felt a big shift after the very first lesson. I feel so grateful to have found Constance and had the opportunity to work with her. I look forward to my lessons with her each week! Not only has she shown me how to begin to undo all these old habits and to use my body with more ease, she's also shown me how to approach this work with curiosity and gentleness. She's an amazing teacher!

I thought she would not have the training or life experience to be able to help. I WAS WRONG!!!! She has a great intuition; by which I mean that she knows when to listen and when to say something. She knows when to challenge your notions/thoughts and when to let you just vent. I have been going for over a year, and while my problems/failings/issues are still there, she is teaching me that I can deal with them. And, for me, I think that is the highest praise you can give any therapist.
