Valina's arsenal of highly educated resources of individuals with such a high level of desire to help others heal, is by far more superior than I've experienced. She has helped me realize trauma is not a blanketed experience, but rather an individual experience, that needs personal evaluation, and attention for proper healing...it's deeper work than I imagined but having Valina by my side trudging through it with me was exactly what I desperately needed.

She also has a network of amazing folks around her who truly excel in their own right. She successfully combines textbook psychology with a plethora of holistic and spiritual resources, using innovative solutions (which have all proven successful for us.) It's rather easy for folks to get their feelings hurt in marriage counseling, but Velina speaks with such tact, insight and consideration. She doesn't play favorites and any criticism is purely constructive with positive big-picture intent. Velina is also a skilled masseuse, a genuinely wonderful human being and she truly looks for the best in everyone. Whether it's stress, PTSD, marriage counseling, life coaching, couples massage, etc. Velina is essentially a one-stop shop for your physical and spiritual well being. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

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.

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.

While Lisa now specializes in couples therapy Lisa has been my therapist for many years. Going to speak with her is both comfortable and professional. I have learned a tremendous amount about myself and my girlfriend from seeking out Lisa's help and advice. I especially like her approach, Imago therapy, which clicked with me from the start and seems so logical to me. Lisa helps me see things in a different light, both my actions and my girlfriends, which enables me to change my behavior for the better without feeling forced to do so. While going to her (and putting in the work yourself) will help your relationship invaluably, you also get the free benefit of being a better person in general. I highly recommend seeking her out if you need relationship advice. read more

Jacqueline is truly one of a kind. I've worked with several therapists and psychologists over the…read moreyears, but I've never experienced such profound personal evolution. Rather than rehashing the past, her approach focuses on deep connection, science-based strategies, and building meaningful tools that create lasting change. While I've put in plenty of hard work alongside her, the immersive, holistic process has moved the needle in real and measurable ways. While we sought and still seek her support and professional awesomeness for our growth in our marriage, and individually building better ways to think and be, a whole additional win with her guidance - I've struggled with insomnia my entire life--averaging just 2-3 hours of sleep for nearly five years--which impacted every part of my wellbeing. Since beginning this work, I'm now sleeping 5-6 hours regularly, a life-changing improvement. My partner and I initially came for relationship growth, but we've both experienced monumental, lasting personal shifts. I understand myself and my partner far more deeply, feel untethered from guilt and doubt, and carry a greater sense of peace and perspective. I've done (and shared) EQ analysis, aligned with DiSC assessment, and plenty of others... but the tools, questions, and techniques Jacqueline brings a specialized, cross-cultural lens on emotions and behaviors that have catalyzed meaningful growth for both of us. Her goal isn't lifelong dependency with her as guide--she's focused on identifying opportunities for progress, offering thoughtful, non-repetitive strategies, and empowering lasting change. There are no quick fixes--just mindful, guided adjustments that build emotional and intellectual strength over time with rapid fire focus and continuity. I always leave sessions feeling more grounded, more capable, and completely myself. Truly remarkable.

I give this a 10. I've finally found a therapist I could trust. I truly find her couples therapy…read morehelpful. I do recommend her. Thank you.

I believe this is due to all of the techniques she provided me with that I still use to this day. I didn't only go in and vent to her, but she gave me something each session to use until I met with her again. That is really vital in making progress with things. It makes it feel like your therapy is really lasting until the next session.... that it does not end when you walk out of the door. She exudes warmth and kindness, and I became comfortable with her almost instantly. For me, she had that vibe of a friend you have known your whole life. She has so much wisdom to offer. Another thing I loved, was that she did not simply just sit there and listen, then give me all of the answers to my problems in a straight forward way... what she did was make me find the answers myself, which is really powerful! It really helps you see that the solution to a lot of issues are really within you, if you know where to look. She gave me a confidence I thought I had long lost. I cannot thank Julie enough for what she has done for me. I had been to a therapist or two long ago, and I honestly can't remember a thing about them or what, if anything, they taught me. I know that I will forever remember and be grateful for Julie! If I lose my way again, I will definitely be seeing her :)

I first came to Dr. Shafaghi hoping…read moreI could find deeper answers to some very difficult questions and long term struggles, now especially as a new father with my first child it was more critical than ever. Honestly, I was really desperate & hopeless because a number of other therapists over many years had failed me, and now I had set very low expectations since I thought I was the problem. So I would have been happy with some new perspective, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not only we went much deeper, it was as if so much was waiting to come up so fast--here and now in the care and of this good doctor & the safe atmosphere he has created to allow for it. It's hard to describe in a few words, but the first two sessions seemed to unravel an entire new stage of my life. From a healing perspective, those two sessions did more than years of soul searching, and more than some hundreds of sessions in comparative holistic approaches. I know this sounds like an exaggeration, but it is not. The many years of experience of a good therapist, combining both, therapy and hypnosis, can be profoundly effective in terms of the depths one could reach. Dr. Shafaghi's book explains how and why, and it's well worth a read. May I say, an easy client who is a learner also helps--that was his compliment to me regarding how well I received his help Now he is our family doctor, and I feel blessed he is in our lives. I have a feeling those who encounter him will find new and profound discoveries awaited them. What is most admirable in this practice also is the way husband and wife advocate for one another. I am also slightly troubled by the unfavorable and unfair rating of a reviewer who seems to be speaking from another universe, so I thought I will add this review from my google to show the truth of this beautiful and sacred space.
