Ben provided me with the tools to figure it out on my own teaching me perseverance was my middle name with resiliency in my rear view. I have been learning to show myself care, and learning to cut myself some slack. I have been learning to let life unfold and not play the puppet master so much. I have taken myself out on countless solo dates and adventures getting to know the goddess of my heart. The tools Ben taught me, gave me permission to explore myself experiencing life on human terms. He helped me take a deeper look at myself, and see why I seemed to care so deeply about the judgment of others. He helped me let that go, and I continue to let my ego go as often as I become aware. He showed me how to heal. I think of our sessions often and think to myself, "what would Ben say, or have me do to let the energy be there, and process it." He showed me how to work on my shadow allowing all she is, to just be. Ben has helped teach me to live life on life's terms. I used to think I'm in control of my surroundings where somehow expectations always seemed to disappoint. He guided me to find solace in my breath, to allow my emotions to be present without judgment, and gave me permission to follow my bliss where I can find inner peace. I will forever appreciate his help and guidance while his energy has stuck with me all this time in continuing to do the work. I feel as though once we turn the pages in our lives, we rarely find the time or energy to express our appreciation to those who made a difference, and this is me flexing my vulnerability as Ben made a huge impact on my life. Thank you. Thank you from my whole heart. Thank you for choosing this line of work; it truly is transformational!

I was so pleased to find Birgit through the East Bay Association of Marriage & Family Therapists. First off, Birgit is covered by my HMO but my plan's coverage is really poor. I felt disheartened when I was told the HMO rep that they wouldn't cover any of my sessions. Birgit negotiated with them to at least cover 2 sessions. That was a good sign to me that this therapist cared enough to help as I was feeling frustrated with the HMO's bureacracy. She's adept at working with me to look at my problems through different lenses. She's helped me make such a huge difference perceiving many aspects of my life in much healthier ways. I had indivudal sessions with her so I wasn't involved in her cinematherapy groups but it sounds like a great way to do some self-exploration through themes in movies different people might connection with. If you're looking for a psychotherapist who challenges your self-perceptions in the kindest of manner, you'll enjoy sessions with Birgit.

I have seen plenty of videos and movies before and thought it was only a performance; but after trying medications, yoga, self-help books etc. with no results, I was open to anything. After a little shopping around and several consultations, I spoke with Zane and had no doubt that he could help me. I signed up for 3 2-hour sessions and decided to fast track these sessions within 6 weeks. I was very anxious about the first session but Zane makes you feel very comfortable. His office is clean, warm, and he welcomes you with open arms. For skeptics like me, I had a lot of questions/concerns and Zane was more than happy to explain his process thoroughly before "putting me under." While hypnotized (which felt like a relaxed, deep meditative state), we explored the root of my anxiety by confronting the people or things that affect me the most. Through confrontation and verbal guidance from Zane, I was able to close several doors that directly affected my anxiety. Each session is different and tailored to what you want to talk about. For me, there was a session that really focused on a moment that happened that day and another session was focused on a moment from my childhood. Overall, the works you do with Zane is entirely what you put into it. He is a merely a guide helping you explore the root of your problems and offers amazing tools/exercises throughout the process. The best part was after our sessions, he sends you a lengthy email summarizing what you spoke about, exercises you went through, and an audio copy of the entire session. I would not say I am fully cured of my anxiety but now, more than ever in my life, I have finally found really great tools to help me manage it. Thank you, Zane! Highly recommend.

His counseling experience and deep knowledge of behavioral therapy identified a possible 'Complex Relational trauma response' disorder that my wife showed signs of displaying. Justin helped me understand her trauma response and how I was reacting to her issues with my own issues which triggered her fear, abandoment, frustration, mistrust, and gravitation to conflict which induced my own defensiveness reactions and anger. He provided me with my own personal tools to deploy on a regular basis. These helped me be nice to myself and appreciate my purpose and that I was actually doing my best to improve myself and provide love most importantly. Some of those solutions and tools such as meditation, mindfulness, self awareness/development created personal behavioral changes and coping strategies I now feel better about myself .

He set a tone that made us look beyond ourselves, towards an us. He challenged us to imagine the relationship we wanted while helping us never lose sight of reality as it is. He was also skilled at helping us pivot when the connection was severing and communication was getting derailed by one of our more dysfunctional patterns. In those moments, he would interrupt the process and guide us to feel deeper down. Here we'd often uncover what was driving the seemingly intractable issues we faced. In his sessions, he made sure all paths led back to the love we had for each other. He had an uncanny ability to discern when we were speaking from our heads not our hearts. When conversations devolved into tit for tat or some lower rung on the communication food chain, Justin would be a step ahead and steer us towards a more loving, honest space. I can remember times when he would allow things to play out to their own dead end, and then work with us to find a path back to compassion and love for each other. And a few times, when it would get too heavily charged, Justin would guide us to use mindfulness practices or breathing exercises to regroup. Justin has all the skills a couples' counselor needs to help a couple, and he is very thorough and dedicated to his work. In counsel with Justin, you get the feeling you're working with someone who is hard at work doing their life's work.

I am so grateful for Alex and the powerful work he has devoted his life to. I've been working with…read moreAlex for about 2 years, starting in a men's group he co-leads, and now also in individual IFS therapy. I recently participated in a plant medicine ceremony led by Alex in which we leveraged IFS tools in the context of the medicine during a beautiful hike along the Sonoma coast. IFS is a powerful technology, and I find Alex's skillful approach to IFS makes it even more effective and accessible. I previously tried to work with other IFS therapists, but none worked for me until Alex ran an IFS exercise in men's group. I ended up tapping into my inner family and laughing out loud while speaking with a particular part. From there, I sought out more IFS therapy directly from Alex. Through my work with Alex, I've gained more awareness around how I experience and react to my own emotions and the phenomena around me. For example, when I start to criticize myself or doubt myself, I am now able slow down, listen, and turn that interaction into more of a dialogue and less of a battle. I am learning to better manage and listed to my various inner parts, particularly those who I have ignored or neglected in the past. With Alex's guidance, I have been able to meet young, vulnerable parts of myself that I am now fostering stronger and more loving relationships with. Through our recent medicine journey, I gained new perspectives on where certain anxieties and burdens came from, how my parts feel about being overwhelmed and spread thin, and how I can work with my inner family to change how I operate - to give those parts, and ultimately myself, more comfort and ease as I create, relate, and move through the world.

Thank goodness for my time in Kugler's 6 week "Edgewalker" program…read more I've worked with Alex before, when he co-lead a Men's group I was in (Connected Warriorship Training). The group was powerfully transformative. Two+ years later, I was again in need of help: a new job promotion with more responsibility and stress; recovering from a surgery; and confronting long-present issues in my marriage. Before my time with Kugler, my internal tools were not supporting me, and when I finally decided I needed help, I did not want to start shopping for a new therapist. Alex came to mind, his style having worked for me before, and now with a 6 session + 1 day long offering that I could afford/commit to - I was in! A match! And I'm so glad I took the dive. Now, on the other side of our work together, I've learned a fresh set of IFS-styled tools for navigating my internal world, for making decisions. I've discovered parts of myself that were neglected, yet pulling the strings. I've found a way to relate myself, to co-live with myself more honestly - and courageously. I've gained courage to meet my circumstance in a strong but compassionate way. Encouraging myself without berating myself. To be ambitious while still taking care of myself. And to show up more grounded, present, and available for the intimacy my wife and I want to share. Thank goodness! After 6ish weeks with Alex, I'm not a "new" man, per se. But I'm less often hiding from the aspirations of my life (hiding in weed; pessimism; self-defeating narratives) and instead meeting them with honest tools that are helping me get where I want to go. I am so grateful for you Alex and the skills you have for helping us heal. Thank you for your special gifts!
