Nicole made a meaningful difference in our child's life. She helped our 8-year-old work through anxiety with an approach that felt both supportive and genuinely fun. Our child looked forward to every session and always left smiling, already excited for the next one. The environment was calm and private, and scheduling was always easy. We consistently found times that worked for our family without stress. Today, our child has graduated from therapy with a confidence we can truly see and feel. They now have the tools they need to face their fears with strength and resilience. We're so grateful for the care, patience, and warmth Nicole brought to this journey. Thank you for helping our child find their courage. read more

My spouse and I had a truly positive experience with Nicole. We started seeing her to develop healthier communication strategies, particularly as we were within the first year of our marriage. Nicole challenged us both during our sessions, and gave us a mix of individual and couple homework assignments to practice self reflection and effective communication. What we appreciated most about our time with Nicole is that she worked with us to "graduate" once we developed a consistent pattern of meaningful communication and showing up for each other. Would recommend Nicole as a couples therapist in a heartbeat, particularly if both individuals are committed to putting in the work inside and outside of sessions. read more

I can't say enough good things about Nicole. She is, without a doubt, one of the most caring, considerate, and genuinely professional therapists I've ever worked with. From the very first session, I felt safe, heard, and truly supported. Her office is welcoming, cozy, and very zen. I originally came to Nicole during one of the most difficult periods of my life--a painful breakup that left me feeling lost and emotionally overwhelmed. Not only did she guide me through the healing process with compassion and insight, but she also helped me recognize and rebuild parts of myself that I didn't even realize were wounded. One of the most meaningful breakthroughs I had was mending my relationship with my parents--something I never thought would be possible. With Nicole's help, I was able to understand the root of our conflicts, communicate more openly, and finally start healing long-held wounds. Our relationship today is stronger than I ever imagined. What makes Nicole truly stand out is her ability to empower you. She doesn't just offer advice--she gives you real tools to navigate life's challenges on your own. Thanks to her guidance and homework, I now feel much more confident in processing emotions, setting boundaries, and approaching life with a healthier mindset. Whether you're going through something heavy or just need help getting unstuck, I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole. She is the kind of therapist who changes lives--not by fixing you, but by helping you find the strength to heal and grow from within. read more

Nicole is a great therapist. I started coming in a few years ago and have seen her on and off ever since. Every time I feel stuck in life I'll come in for a sesssion to sort myself out and talk it out with her. I feel safe to open up with her and I can tell she really listens. I trust her as my therapist and I would definitely recommend her to anyone. read more

There are not enough words I can use to truly express my gratitude for Nicole and our time in therapy together for the past year. She was always very patient and giving me the space and time to work through my challenges with plenty of support. What I appreciated the most was her challenging me with different perspectives and giving me homework to continue working on things learned throughout our sessions. She is a phenomenal therapist who truly cares about her clients and their growth. I am grateful that I was able to graduate from therapy with her and I know if I ever need to work through future challenges I can return back to work with her again. Thank you immensely Nicole! read more

It has taken me years and a few therapist before I found Nicole. She is a great listener and ask questions that really make you think. Love the homework after every visit. Nicole helped me through some really tough times and I'm so glad that I can count on her, if and when anything else life throws my way. read more

After years of going to different therapists, I have found the one who helped me instill the most change. I have seen such a huge difference in the way I approach hardships and relationships. Nicole helped me develop new skills so I can put in the work outside of our sessions. Through out our sessions, she was honest yet supportive which I needed the most. It never felt like therapy sessions where you just sit down and talk. The sessions were proactive and I always left feeling like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. She is always on time to our sessions and respects the time of her clients. I appreciate all that Nicole has done for me. Our sessions are the most proactive and effective ones I have ever been in. I highly recommend her because you will notice a huge difference in the way you approach life. I am so very grateful to be able to work with such a caring therapist. read more

Sharing the review I left on google reviews. If you are thinking about trying therapy for the first time or possibly revisiting therapy, I can't encourage you enough with every fiber of my being to reach out to Nicole. This is the life changing therapy experience I can only hope every person receives when seeking therapy. It was life changing for me, it was everything I had hoped for and far more. Nicole is an unbelievable person and therapist and can help you navigate the most difficult of situations or experiences with the utmost expertise and compassion. I wanted to address my lifelong anxiety and contacting Nicole was the best decision I've ever made. I now have the tools to continue to grow into the person I know that I am and can be thanks to Nicole. I was ready to address my anxiety and start taking the necessary steps towards making a change, but I didn't have the tools or understanding of how to do so. Nicole helped me through this process and the result was far better than anything I had imagined. Please reach out to Nicole if you are considering therapy or perhaps are interested in a new therapist. I would never try another therapist again, Nicole is the absolute best and I can't speak highly enough of my experience. It has been the biggest blessing working with Nicole. read more

After working with a disappointing therapist previously, I was very happy to find Nicole. She has a fantastic demeanor and was extremely helpful as I worked through my issues. My favorite part was her focus on giving me homework assignments to focus on between visits and her goal for me to graduate from therapy after improving. read more

Visited Nicole about 5 times. I truly appreciate her approach to listen, and ask questions to get to the root cause of my issues which was quite complex going back 20+ years ago. At the end of each session, I would go home with homework to work on something to help me deal with my immediate challenges. Over time, her goal was to help me graduate; which is unheard of, what a concept! Although I was unable to graduate due to no insurance, I still today use the tools she provided me. I could only hope to one day return. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone seeking a framework and plan to successfully resolve your most complex life challenges. read more

Very kind and compassion,smart,great therapy,help me in many ways.flexible on scheduling, great communication.

I searched for a therapist for over a year, but for some reason or another it never worked out. They either didn't accept my insurance or they weren't taking new clients. I came across Nicole on Psychology Today and received a response to my inquiry in less than 24 hours (1st good sign!) We instantly connected and have been able to work together throughout the course of several months. She has given me so many useful tools that I try and utilize on a daily basis. She has truly changed my life in so many ways and I could never thank her enough for being so amazing and impactful. Nicole gives homework to her clients and will follow up with you in the next session regarding it. The only way you're really going to notice a significant impact in your life is if you're truly willing to put in the work that therapy requires. Nicole is great, but your life is not magically going to change if you don't utilize the skills and tools she gives you. She is empathetic but direct and to the point. She is honest and genuine, even if it is in a tough love type of way. Finding Nicole was one of the best and life changing things that ever happened to me & I could not be more grateful for everything she has done and continues to do for me in my life. Thank you Nicole!!! :) read more

She's been a big help to helping me navigate my life going through my divorce. She was very patient and kind with how I would tell my feelings cause I tend to talk in circles quiet a bit lol. But over all she's was a huge help and will work with your schedules as best as she can to, due to personal reasons I couldn't continue sessions but will go back should the opportunity come read more

I can't even express how thankful I am for Nicole. Going to a therapist can be a pretty intimidating / scary thing to do for a lot of people, but she is just so genuinely easy to talk to and I really look forward to each session. It feels like you're having a talk with your friend who just has really great and educated advice lol. I can't recommend her enough, she's wonderful. read more

Working with Nicole made my life infinitely better. She is an amazing therapist that really cares about her clients and their journey through therapy. She made me feel validated and heard and helped me face past trauma head on. She challenged me with 'homework' after each session and gave me the tools to feel confident to make the best decisions for myself and manage my anxiety. I am so thankful to have found her through yelp and connect with her right away. I am a better version of myself after working with her. I definitely recommend her to anyone seeking therapy. read more

I concur with everyone who has already given Nicole rave reviews, and highly recommend her. From her intention to get her clients to the place where they "graduate," to assigning homework between sessions, to her disarming yet straightforward approach, Nicole was the perfect fit for me. She never offered unsolicited advice, and always asked questions that would help me find my own answers. "Graduating" was bittersweet because I looked forward to our time together, but I know I can (and have) reach out to her at any time, and she'll make herself available. Thank you, Nicole, for how you and your expertise have enriched me and my life! read more

I found Nicole through yelp when I was looking for a therapist who specialized in grief counseling. We had an initial consultation through phone and I've had multiple sessions both in-person and online. As Nicole helped me process the loss of a loved one, our therapy sessions progressed to helping me understand and manage my anxiety. After each session, I was given 'homework' to work on before the next time we met - I advise to be prepared to do the work on yourself outside of therapy, it's just as important! I'm SO happy with the progress I've made. Nicole is kind and straightforward, she wants to see her clients succeed and 'graduate' from therapy. I recommend Nicole to all my friends and family who are interested in starting therapy. Thank you for providing me with the tools to be a healthier/happier version of myself! read more

Over the last year or so, I had the opportunity to work with Nicole. I always wanted to go to therapy, but waited until a big life change in my thirties to seek it. It was the best decision, mainly due to Nicole's special abilities to keep it real while also giving me strength to see the bigger picture. I've seen such a positive change in my communication style, my life, and my outlook thanks to my time with her. There were days where I was apprehensive to have my session because I didn't want to deal with what was in front of me. But I always ended my session with a clearer, more hopeful outlook than when I started it. She is a straight-shooter (which I personally like), but is empathetic, always available, and is in no way abrasive. She's just real. The homework is helpful and I still use it as a tool in my day-to-day. I'm forever thankful for my time with her - and was sad to "graduate" but knew I was ready. Thank you for everything, Nicole! read more

I started working with Nicole in person before the transition to telehealth with COVID precautions in mind. The transition was smooth and professional. I'm someone that struggles with opening up and being vulnerable. Nicole did a fantastic job of making me feel comfortable, safe, and listened to as I got to know her style of therapy. Whether you are considering telehealth sessions or in person, Nicole makes sure that you are comfortable and heard. I find her insight to be helpful and direct. She isn't afraid to make things uncomfortable with a blunt question to best get to the core of what she is helping you with. Her insistence on homework at the end of each session helps to sum up the time and to give a goal for the week to come. For me this is helpful. Meeting your "homework" goal is all part of the way to connect each session together. I've never felt like I had to search for something to talk about because we always start with how things went the week prior. To summarize, Nicole is great. Finding a therapist that fits your needs and personality is incredibly important. Nicole and her style is a match for me and I'd encourage you to give her a shot too. read more

My search for the right therapist certainly hasn't been an easy one -- and I must say I am super happy to have found Nicole who just seems to get it. Her professionalism & level of expertise are certainly impressive. She has such an insightful perspective on just about everything! I feel I finally have a therapist who understands and certainly has my best interests. This has been a life-changing experience and I'd highly recommend Nicole. Anyone looking for a good therapist can stop here :) read more

Nicole helped me through a time when I felt really stuck. Two things I loved right off the bat were that she gave me homework, that was simple enough, but actually challenging to do. It helped me realize some things, and habits that I wanted to break. The second thing is that she had a goal of getting me out of therapy, to "graduate" at some point, when I was ready. After a little bit, I was able to have less frequent appointments. I eventually graduated, knowing that I could still return if needed. I am grateful to her, and I highly recommend her (and therapy in general) to anyone. read more

I have been lucky enough to work with Nicole for the last 10 months or so and it has been a life changing experience! I just "graduated" and had my last session with her and feel very thankful for the guidance and advice she offered. From the beginning she was a great listener and asked questions that made me think about life from a different perspective. Before seeing her, my anxiety was becoming a big problem that I wasn't sure how to tackle. Now, I am able to cope with my anxiety in a healthy way and find that it doesn't take over my life anymore. Thanks to Nicole, I have a new found sense of peace and happiness and feel confident that I'll be able to maintain this mindset moving forward. If you are willing to put in the hard work, you can trust that she will guide you in the right direction. I only got to meet with her virtually, but she was always genuine, authentic, and extremely easy to talk to. I always felt comfortable sharing whatever was on my mind. I highly recommend and encourage anyone considering therapy to reach out to her :-) read more

My anxiety and stress levels were starting to effect my performance at work so I had my boss tell me during our one on one sessions telling me that maybe I should look into seeing a therapist. I've never been to therapy and the idea of it was really intimidating, but since I wanted to do really good at work and am tired of having my anxiety and stress control me so much, I decided to seek professional help for it. I didn't know where to look and decided to look on yelp for someone local. I know that finding the right therapist is similar to finding the right partner. Sometimes you don't meet the right people the first couple times around, but I feel really lucky that I found Nicole who happened to be the right therapist for me at the first go. I started seeing Nicole around July 2019 and after diligently working with her once a week and doing the homework every time, I can say right now after over half a years of sessions with Nicole, I'm in a very good place mentally and emotionally. Today was my last session with Nicole - I could always call her for another session if some life stuff came up and if I had difficulty handling it but Nicole wants her clients to get better and to get to a point where they can manage their own challenges successfully - I think this is REALLY important when looking for a therapist. You don't want a therapist that wants you to be codependent on them and going to them forever because they see you as a vulnerable cash cow. Nicole WANTS to see you win and get better so that one day you won't need her anymore. A root cause of a lot of my anxiety and stress was due to my lack of having boundaries and my fear of asking for what I need. But through the homework and exercises Nicole gave me every week I can confidently say that my ability to manage my stress and anxiety is quite excellent now. I feel like I'm in more control of my life and this is one of the best feelings ever. I feel like if I didn't get the help I needed I would've ended up isolating myself from everyone and everything due to the anxiety and stress it caused to have to deal with people. If you're serious about working on yourself and becoming better at managing your stress and anxiety, I urge you to give Nicole a call. Come in with an open mind, willingness to work on yourself, willingness to be honest and share your story and I know you'll do good. To be honest, I almost had cold feet and didn't come in for the first session because I was so nervous and anxious about it. But I really wanted to change my life and was so tired of feeling anxious and stressed all of the time - it was starting to effect my physical health too. I would feel random numbness in my arms and things like that. So I pushed myself to do something different, rather than letting my anxiety take over and avoid things I decided to go to my very first therapy session. Remember you can't change your life by doing the same things over and over. Best of luck to you, reader. I hope you find the way that works for you in overcoming your challenges. And thank you Nicole for being an amazing therapist. read more

I "graduated" from therapy with Nicole a couple days ago, after we both decided I'm ready to take the tools and skills she taught me into the real world without her guidance. I'm so, so proud of the progress I've seen in myself within the past 10 months with Nicole's support. She gave me tangible homework each time we met so I could practice the tools she was teaching me and she kept me accountable by following up with me each time we met again. She challenged me when I needed that extra push. She supported me and gave me a safe place to really dive into the things that I needed to address. She congratulated me and celebrated the growth and progress I've made. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is ready to put in the work! Thank you for your guidance, Nicole! read more

Nicole empowered me to make difficult decisions that I needed to make in order to be in a better place emotionally. I was in a bad place, feeling stuck. Without her help I don't think I would have made the changes I made to improve my life for the better. Nicole, I appreciate your guidance and support through this journey, Thank you. read more

Nicole is a fantastic therapist. She is on time, understanding, and seems to genuinely care. She is extremely easy to connect with and offers valuable tools to use daily to help with your specific needs. I highly recommend Nicole. read more

I cannot thank Nicole enough. She has been an amazing therapist and has change my life for the better. She really cares about her clients. I've been working with her for 2 years and am a completely different person. She has helped me understand my anxiety and has given me the tools necessary to manage my anxiety. I live a much happier life thanks to all the work that we did together. I recommend her to anyone that is struggling with anxiety. read more

I was referred to Nicole around March or April by one of my friends that had been utilizing her services. I have seen numerous therapists throughout the years that I had yet to click with so I came in to this with an open mind yet still a bit apprehensive. I clicked with her and for the first time actually felt that a therapist genuinely cared to help and didn't just want my money. She is real, which I appreciate. I don't want a therapist to beat around the bush. She gave me homework to do that helped me overcome and learn to understand that I could do actually do these things. She has given me different perspective on situations that normally I would not have seen or come to conclusion on my own with. Working with her has helped me work through and continue to work through my anxiety and I appreciate the fact I have been able to connect with her. If you are looking for an amazing therapist (and you're not scared of someone being real with you) then I definitely suggest you reach out to Nicole. You won't be disappointed. I'm not. read more

My wife and I saw Nicole for couples counseling and our experience was exactly what we needed to strengthen our relationship. We loved the homework assignments because it targeted our opportunities for improvement and growth when we weren't in session and it was tailored to our needs in the moment. As a couple, we greatly benefited from our time with Nicole and will continue to reach out for check ins and issue resolution. Last year, for a personal issue, Nicole referred me to one of her associates and I was able to get through some of those issues. She's built a team that is extremely professional and effective for varying needs. read more

Nicole is the most effective therapist I've ever worked with. The results I experienced were immediate and have proven to be long-lasting. After years searching for a therapist I could connect with, happy to say I finally found someone who's truly amazing. Nicole is a godsend and has helped me breakthrough old negative patterns/habits that has been a lingering issue for many years. Nicole maintains an affable demeanor that makes communication extremely easy. The environment she facilitates is open, honest and transparent communication, and she does this by being open and honest, consequently creating an empathic trusting space where you are able to be vulnerable and authentic to yourself. If you're reading this, I highly recommend seeing her. read more

Sometimes you come to Yelp after the fact to see if you were alone in your experience with a business. This woman was actually so cold when she gave me a call back. I was really stunned by her lack of compassion. She straight up said she wasn't Middle Eastern when we spoke but from her website she says she's from Iran. It's fine to pick & choose the sorts of clients you want to work with. What didn't sit well was her dismissive tone when we spoke & her gaslighting me over my mentioning I thought it would be a good match that she was middle eastern & her denying that she was. Just say that I don't fit the profile of your cherry-picked clients. All is well since I did end up connecting with a truly kind & compassionate therapist after all. But this experience has sat on my heart for a while & when Yelp showed I had only given a star rating and that I should write, I figured I would share my experience for the benefit of others who are looking for a therapist. read more

I've always said that everyone can use a good therapist, no matter how big or small your problems may be....but I'm so lucky that I *finally* found the BEST therapist!! Not for lack of trying though. I've been to SO many therapists and counselors in my life, and nobody ever worked for me until I found Nicole Abadi! I started seeing her in early 2017 and have been seeing her off and on for "touch ups" since. (While she has helped me through some big issues, I always believe there is room for more lifelong personal improvement). I can't imagine going to anyone else for the rest of my life. So when I say I found the best, I mean it! Why do I just adore Nicole so much? First, she LISTENS. Not just nods her head and murmurs "uh-huh". She provides real, useful feedback, never pretentious or disingenuous. I feel heard and understood, but not coddled. Comforted and guided when I needed it, but held accountable for myself in the end. (ugh, adulting sucks.) She does provide homework (boo homework!!! J/K!) but it's really been helpful and shows me valuable insight to myself as well as teaching me great coping skills and tools to use everyday. Oh and she does remember that she assigned you some work, and she will ask you for it, so you better do it lol! Second, I am COMFORTABLE. Not only is her office comforting, inviting, and peaceful; In her office, I feel that I can be my true self. I can cuss like a sailor, I can tell her every little sordid detail of my life, I can be a complete sobbing mess of a meltdown, and yet I have never felt judged, or felt like I needed to hold any part of myself back or hide anything. So freeing!! Nicole always has the best insight, she's very down to earth but also super friendly and just straight up *real*. I've always looked forward to our sessions (even when I knew they were gonna be rough ones), knowing she would help me feel better. I could keep going on, but if you think you could use a little help, and are willing to put in the work, your life can be so much better. Go see Nicole Abadi and start your journey! read more

My wife and I found Nicole on here and we were very happy that she was available to take us on. Nicole helped us out on some of our marriage communication problems and I believe what sets Nicole apart from other therapists is that she truly wants her clients to get better and graduate! Even on the onset, she chose her clients carefully because she wanted everyone to be on the same page, that the clients she takes on are both open and available to heal. As you'll read through her myriad of amazing reviews, she gave us homework, but this was to work on different aspects of our issues, nudging us to ultimately develop the tools/mindset to engage in thoughtful communication. My wife and I have been so much better off with her help and we both feel absolutely confident that we can tackle any problems we may face in the future. I cannot thank her enough for her help. If you are truly looking to put in the work and are open to addressing your issues, you will not go wrong with Nicole. read more

When looking for a therapist, it is often a challenge to find one that does not make you feel like another appointment in the books. Nicole is an amazing therapist that I cannot recommend enough. She is empathetic, honest, and provides a calm and safe environment for patients to talk about anything. She aims to have her patients eventually "graduate" from therapy or require significantly less sessions by providing guidance and strategies to address the issue. Each session is productive because she follows up from the last and assigns homework between sessions that is simple but can be a challenge. If you're looking for a therapist that is punctual, unbiased, and easy to talk to, look no further than Nicole! I am extremely grateful to have the opportunity to work with her. And her dogs are extremely cute. :) read more

Seeing Nicole made me realize that therapists are just imperfect people trying to help other imperfect people through life's obstacles. During my time with her I often left feeling judged, it wasn't until I discussed this with other health care professionals that I realized it is not normal or acceptable for a therapist to make you feel re-traumatized and misunderstood. Nicole claims to be "direct" which I want out of a therapist, however she often came off as self righteous in our sessions. If you have dealt with a lot of trauma/have mental health issues and are looking to feel heard and understood..please look elsewhere. I don't want anyone else to feel the way I did after seeing her. read more

I have been seeing Nicole for issues I've had for awhile. She made me feel very comfortable which is key to be able to feel free to open up. She challenges me and makes me think. She does this all in a non-judgemental way. I always feel lighter after every session. Thank you Nicole for all you have done for me. read more

This review is based on one interaction with MFT Nicole Abadi of Long Beach. I scheduled a phone introduction appointment with Abadi due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Abadi called my cell as scheduled for our appointment. However, the call disconnected as I answered the call. I knew it was Abadi because I had saved her number in my contacts after scheduling the appointment and was waiting for her call on the day and time that was scheduled. After the call disconnected, I called back and the call went straight to voicemail. I thought oh, well maybe she is calling me that's why it went to voicemail so I waited a few minutes.... Abadi did not call back...I waited and it's now way PAST our appointment time, so I called Abadi one last time (third time) to say that our call was disconnected (in case she thought I hung up intentionally) and that I waited for her to call back. At this point I probably should have considered this a "red flag." I was annoyed and inconvenienced about Abadi's "no show" for our appointment and I was left wondering why a therapist would call as scheduled, hang up/disconnect and not call back. On the same day and 45 minutes later and after our scheduled appointment time, Abadi did call back. Abadi reprimanded me for calling her office 3 times and leaving a message on the 3rd attempt. She told me that I had severe issues with boundaries and that my actions are concerning and irrational. She added that she is so glad that this happened because my behavior revealed to her she could never have someone like me as a client and that my actions are a clear indication that I am not a good match for her. Seems to me that Abadi's reaction and response are actually irrational and concerning for someone in the mental health profession. Prior to the disconnected call we have never met or had an appointment. Abadi knows nothing about me, accept for what she concluded and assessed from a disconnected call interaction. Even as I tried to apologize and explain as to why I called her office after the call was disconnected -- because her reaction made me feel like I did something wrong, she continued to berate me. The imperious manner of Abadi, an MFT is disturbing, irresponsible and a detriment to individuals that are seeking mental health services. A professional and good therapist will never treat clients in a way that shames them or is hurtful. A professional and good therapist will respond calmly and maturely at all times. Instead Abadi lost control of her emotions, failed to take accountability for her part in the situation, and then criticized and judged someone she has never met or counseled. Thankfully I do have prior experience with an EXCELLENT and PROFESSIONAL therapist who is no longer available to clients because she went on to pursue an executive role in the mental health industry, and is the reason I am seeking another therapist. I hope this review is helpful and this experience should be noted if you are considering therapy from Nicole Abadi. read more

I reached out to Nicole in June of 2020. I was going through a rough patch in my relationship and needed a professional to help me through it. We met via tele conference weekly over a 5 month period. Nicole is very direct with her questioning and means of support. If you are looking for someone to just make you feel good, or if you just want to rant with no feedback, this is probably not the best match for you. Nicole will ask the hard questions and make you look deeply at yourself. She assigns "homework" to make you think and reflect on your own. Nicole is very professional and very easy to talk to. If you are ready to do some real soul searching, I highly recommend having a consult with Nicole. read more

For whatever reason/excuse, I waited until my 50's to seek therapy. Finally, after a false start with another counselor, I pushed forward and contacted Nicole. From the outset she has been the real deal, and a year later I can point to numerous improvements in my day to day life. The process isn't easy as Nicole shoots straight and doesn't accept mediocrity or pat answers. You can expect homework that will push you but also empower you over time. She really cares about her clients and has been available throughout the pandemic. Honestly, I needed this assistance in my life 20+ years ago but am very thankful that I have it now. Do it! read more

Nicole Abadi truly helped me change my life and marriage for the better. My husband and I are happily married, but we needed strategies to help us communicate more peacefully and effectively when having disagreements as we have a baby on the way and wanted to set a positive example for her. Nicole equipped me with concrete strategies for what to do in those tension-fueled moments in order to de-escalate and find understanding. She also helped me explore my feelings about my career and helped me realize it was worth exploring a change. She is the best therapist I have ever worked with, and I appreciate that her goal is to ultimately get you to a place where you don't feel you need her. If I find myself struggling again with the challenges of new parenthood, I would not hesitate to reach back out to her for guidance and support. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and empathetic practitioner ready to provide you with helpful strategies to improve your life. read more
