John is also my first therapist and along with that my first hypnotherapist...I never really understood what hypnotherapy was until I had a hypnotherapy seasion for anxiety and general mental well-being with John and I was extremely impressed with the effectiveness of this therapy. Thanks John for being an amazing person and talented at what you do!

When I first met with John, my life was riddled with anxiety and depression.

John is intelligent, kind, and very personable. I appreciate John's ability to be upfront and honest about irrational thoughts, anxieties, and validating my feelings. He is a wonderful guy and would definitely recommend if you are looking to ease your spiraling thoughts and develop healthy mindsets.

I got behind on my coaching sessions which were about $200 a session, definitely expensive, and you…read morecan't cancel you have to keep paying $100 a month to keep the money that you already put into them usable. It was also really hard to get a coaching session set up because everything is through email and most of the coaches available sessions are weeks ahead of time. Not a great experience and I wouldn't recommend them.

Don't waste your time. They call you to offer you a $435/month career coaching plan. If you say…read moreno, the call ends. I guess they expect you to sign up for something without even seeing if their consulting makes sense, don't waste your time.

I have been working with Clay for the past 14 years toward the beginning of my career in Chicago's…read moremultifamily industry. Clay has created and updated my resume several times over during that span of time. He crafts and customizes a resume that will make employers want to talk to you. Every single move forward in my career has been preceded by a telephone conversation with Clay and an update to my resume. Clay is amazing and hands-down the best in the business. He is an extremely good listener, very well-qualified, hyper-focused, courteous, poised, professional and always patient. He is just an amazing human being and genuinely cares about you as a client. Clay makes you feel like you are totally the top priority whenever you are communicating with him. He is extremely generous with his time and always gives you his undivided attention. His work is top notch and please know that his fees are extremely reasonable. Clay also acts as your personal career coach and gives you superior career direction. His suggestions are always dead-on. I cannot recommend him enough for resume creation and writing. I would never use anybody else!

I was struggling with transitioning from one career field to another. Although I had years and…read moreyears of experience in the field, I just could not get the mental blocks out of my head when it came to putting it onto paper. So grateful to have found Clay. His experience and professionalism really showed through the whole experience, even when my schedule put us back weeks. He was incredibly patient. He even helped with my LinkedIn profile. After a few tweaks to my resume, when I took a step back and looked at it I was BLOWN away. I couldn't believe how he had pulled my experience all together and just from a few conversations-far better than I could. He is well worth the investment.

After 8 years in the accounting and finance industry, I began my sessions with Anna Bray in search…read moreof a new career. It was the 2nd best decision of my life (#1 is my wife who pushed me to do career counseling). Anna was amazing and the entire process gave me such confidence in my decision to change careers. Changing careers feels like a huge risk but it's really an educated decision after trusting in Anna and Jody Michael's process. If you have a feeling that you would be better/happier in another career, do yourself, your family, and your future employer a favor and contact Anna Bray at Jody Michael. Long story short: my career discovery and career change process took 7 months from my first session. I've waited about 5 months to write this review, and I could not be happier in my new career. Anna is a Jedi who used the force to professionally and thoughtfully guide me thru a calculated career discovery process. She invests countless hours a week (not just in session) in her clients and it shows. Thank you, Anna & everyone, at Jody Michael. FYI - Accounting & Finance to SaaS Tech Sales

This business created a new business profile likely to avoid the negative views it was incurring…read moremany years ago. Returning to ensure this low rating is captured. Similar to last time, this business will appeal to Yelp to take it down claiming it's fraudulent but that's just the cut throat business acumen behind Jody Michael. To summarize, you will waste your money using a proprietary career rating matrix that is likely to tell you nothing new by the end of your session package. If you're desperate to find a path forward, consider upskilling, get a career coach (not whatever Jody claims to be) and focus on positive mindset. For these brief sessions, you will be charged hundreds of dollars and sometimes Jody will take calls while on vacation and cut them short! She offers little empathy given the context of a client needing career support and having come from stock exchange into six figure social work she will brag about, you're paying into someone's fortune while taking from yours. Save your time and money!

Place seems scammy, and they do this for business. Why are…read morepeople milking money out of poor innocent patients that need help with their mental wellbeing?!! My therapist was nice and all, and I liked her a lot. But 133$ weekly payment per session seems a bit much!!! Is everyone needing to pay that much to seek out care here?!? Not even BCBS insurance covers it until some quote on quote "expensive weekly deductible" is made. That's hella way over expensive and over priced. No other place I went to ever did some so call "deductible" type thing. Anywhere else I ever went for therapy, never was this expensive! At most the weekly payment for sessions would be 30$! This however is a bit too much. It was nice while it lasted.

And her love of life and drive have inspired myself and so many others to live the happiest lives we can. I attended her workshop and instantly felt comfortable and open.

Lelia's workshop was amazing! It was so nice to connect with other women and realize that we had a…read morelot of the same fears and anxieties about ourselves. Lelia provided us with much inspiration on how to accept ourselves and gain confidence. From her workshop, I learned that I'm not alone and can relate to the feelings of other women. Lelia knows how to inspire and encourage confidence and self acceptance. Her warm energy will allow you to be open with her and you'll be able to connect and speak with her like she's an old friend. I would highly recommend booking a session with her or attending one of her workshops!!!

Aysha has counseled me and my fiancee for over a year to date and the sessions have changed our…read morelives. We simply decided to begin pre-marital counseling because we valued talk therapy and figured it could only be healthy. Little did we know how many communication breakdowns we would be empowered to identify and improve week-after-week. The laughter and tears and happiness and anger which we are free and safe to express with Aysha -- and use to become closer to one another -- is priceless. Aysha has become a crucial part of our relationship. We regularly walk away from our sessions with so much to talk about and in a great place to share our feelings even better than before. And through our weeks, we consistently recall her counseling and refer to her insight. She is truly adept at listening to us and understanding us, but most important, she's helped us better listen and understand each other. I would recommend her to any couple in any level of satisfaction. She's helped us grieve through loss and celebrate each other alike.

I…read morewas referred to Aysha after my previous therapist moved out of the state, and I have been so thrilled - I think Aysha and I have had a better connection than any other other counselor/therapist I've worked with in the past. I like her so much that I've navigated and fought through a myriad of insurance issues, including having to suck up and pay out-of-pocket for services. Aysha has been so wonderful and understanding through it all, and of course has continued to help me sort out all kinds of long and short-term issues that have prompted me to see therapy. She has flexible hours (LOVE Saturday appointment availability) and is very responsive to emails and phone calls/texts. In short, I would recommend her (and Simply Counseling) without reservation. Oh, have I mentioned that I'm a mental health professional myself? :)
