Long overdue review. She is the only therapist I've met, so I don't have comparison points. But she…read morecombines what are probably traditional therapist practices with awareness, acceptance, cognitive methods and even Zen teachings (without really calling it out as some specific practice - I learned some things she covered were a part of Zen teachings after I "Googled" them to learn more) - it's a great and useful mix. To me, she initially came across as a bit uninterested/judgmental/somewhat distant (as a couple other reviews mentioned) but I put that down to her personal style, i.e. she did not come across to me as some TV version of a warm, approachable, tell-me-anything therapist. But her expertise is evident over time.

Awkward...reviewing ones therapist. Maybe I should lie on a couch and talk about my mother…read more Actually Rebecca is super friendly and I owe her a lot for helping me through a tough time in my life, 5 stars doesn't really cover it. I started seeing Rebecca when I was on Stanford Campus and she was working for the Counseling service there. I was having some personal issues which I won't detail here (nosy, aren't you?) and she helped me move forward with my life. I still check in with her when I'm having troubles and I've found her therapy very useful. Rebecca uses cognitive and behavioral therapy and really stresses mindfulness and awareness. I found this approach very useful. She's really good at arming you with tools that you can use going forward, rather than simple solutions to a current issue. As an added bonus she has later evening appointments which works great for folks with jobs and schedules that are hard to rearrange.

Janelle is an amazing therapist! She has helped me through very difficult times in my life. She is…read morededicated, honest, and professional. She values her clients and loves what she does. I cannot say anything but positive things about Janelle. I am happy she is in my life!

She picks up on trends…read moregoing on in my life long before even I notice them, which I find incredibly insightful and helpful. Another thing I value about her is that she's easy to talk to. She's not some stuffy old doctor with a clipboard and a lab coat - she's young enough to relate to GenXers and Millennials, but still has a tremendous amount of experience. If you're looking to make a positive change in your life, working with Janelle is the best step you can take.

This is not something I would normally write a review about but Alex truly helped my wife and I…read morethough the hardest time of our lives. We thank her so much for everything.

Some people may think relationship counselors are only for married people and decide not to seek…read morehelp when there are problems. I believe before jumping into marriage, relationship counseling can really help with exploring certain areas that we may not even know exist. In every relationship, you go through 3 stages. The Honeymoon, The Raw Deal and The Real Deal. Most couples get stuck in the raw deal stage where conflicts occur and dont know where to go from there to get to the real deal (ie. marriage). Like most relationships, my significant other and I get into fights from time to time, but when fights doesnt get resolved and feelings gets hurt, that's when we decided to seek a relationship therapist for help with our communication...or lack of. I search the web on Psychology Today for over 300 therapist in SF area and Donna's profile stood out to me the most: http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/prof_detail.php?profid=45760&city=San+Bruno&county=San+Mateo&state=California So we made an appointment to go see Donna, she was very nice, personable and understanding. Relationship counseling is not about picking sides or telling one person who is wrong or right, its about digging deep into the problem of things in order to solve it. Overall we had a very good session, we were able to talk about our feelings, wants and needs and what is important to us. Donna was very engaged, nonjudgmental and she also has a good sense of humor. So it wasn't all tense! We actually enjoyed our session! Donna's goal is to helped us understand each other but most importantly ourselves. Of course this will not be an overnight thing but from one session, I felt less resentful and a little more loving. I think when two people are together for a long time, they tend to forget what was that spark that got them together in the beginning.

To me, Kin is both a therapist and a coach. Yes, he's easy to talk to and nonjudgmental which makes…read morehim a great therapist but he also has the ability to constructively point things out to me, just like a coach would, so I can learn to become a better person, husband, and father. He has such finesse that his feedback seems very genuine and supportive, and it makes me motivated to want to change. Another expectation you can have with Kin is he'll keep you honest and accountable, again, just like an athletic coach! He keeps it real and simple. For example, he doesn't just tell you to be more patient with your kids or be a better listener to your partner. Instead, he breaks it down for you so you know exactly what your blind spots are and what you need to do to achieve your goals. He keeps things concrete and practical so you won't get lost in the abstract. If you need a therapist, especially regarding your relationship, Kin is definitely the right person.

My boyfriend actually found Kin at the beginning of this year. We started seeing Kin for couples…read moretherapy. I personally was very skeptical about therapy, especially after being unsuccessful in finding a therapist that was for me. We got so lucky, Kin being the first couples therapist we tried. His style of therapy was everything we needed. He never made the sessions feel one-sided. He always made sure to acknowledge both of our feelings but allowed us to understand each other. He gave us the tools to be successful in this relationship. We initially were seeing him every 2 weeks, then turned to 3, and 8 months later, we are finally in a place where we only need to schedule sessions as needed. We love how honest Kin has been throughout our journey. He held us accountable while not making us feel bad. I highly suggest Kin if you are seeking couples therapy :)

I went with my wife to see a therapist for the first time and she was so helpful from the start. She addressed exactly what we were looking for but in such a way that we felt so comfortable to open up to very sensitive topics like our sexuality. Her ability to make us both feel at ease got us to really make incredible improvements in our goals. She has incredible knowledge and experience and is the best therapist we have ever had. We have overcome our main issues now and are continuing with her. Our relationship has become so much stronger thanks to her help. We highly recommend Dr. Martin for couples therapy. June is highly skilled and really cares about her clients.

When I…read moreknew I would be asking for a divorce, she gave me advice that would have worked for the normal divorcing couple with children, but unfortunately, my marriage was anything but normal. She should have been much more in tune to how my ex would react since we had been working with her for about a year in marriage counseling. Trust your instincts, and protect yourself and your children.

After…read moremoving from out of state, I desperately needed someone to help me with the behavioral problems I was experiencing with my 5-year-old. I came into her office at the end of my rope, feeling like I had tried everything and nothing was working. Right away Kathy gave me hope and things I could implement right away. I appreciated how she listened in such a nonjudgmental, empathetic way. Over the span of a several months, Kathy worked with us both. I really believe that what she taught me, even more so than what she taught him, brought peace back into our house and helped restore our relationship. It's now been a few months since we last saw her, and when we start getting off-track, I think, what would Kathy say? :-) My son and I now have the relationship I always hoped we'd have. And I am even using her advice with my 2-year-old. I now realize, we're all novices when we begin parenthood and each of us needs a mentor like Kathy! I am so grateful for the real-world tools she gave us that I'll carry with me always.

Finding a therapist in the Bay Area is hard. Our family needed a family therapist to help us out…read morewith some things we couldn't work through on our own. I was afraid that it would be hard to find someone who worked well with myself, my husband AND our very picky teenager. When I tell you that Ting Yi was the perfect fit I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Ting Yi is patient, a fantastic listener and she has a great talent for diffusing a situation when people get irritated with each other. I looked forward to our sessions every week. Ting Yi works to make the most out of every minute of the session and we always left feeling like we had accomplished something. Each of us genuinely felt heard and understood by her. She never chose sides or played favorites. She worked hard to help us learn to communicate with each other in a healthier way and to understand each other better. I can honestly say that because of Ting Yi's help we are getting along better as a family. During this crazy time where we have all been stuck in the house together in quarantine that has been priceless. Ting Yi also does individual therapy and we each had solo therapy sessions with her as well. Those sessions really helped me and I felt very comfortable opening up to her. My daughter who is a very private person also felt comfortable with Ting Yi even though as a teen she often has trouble talking to people about things that are bothering her. My husband also really appreciated the valuable help she gave him. Ting Yi's location is convenient for our family. Her quiet, comfortable office is located on Burlingame ave. We never had any trouble parking because her office is on the quieter end of the street. There are some great tea shops close by and we often enjoyed a little desert after our session. I would highly recommend Ting Yi to anyone seeking a talented therapist. Our time with her will help our family for years to come.
