I can confidently say that choosing to begin therapy with Heather was the best decision I have made…read morein my life. I have struggled with depression, anxiety, and heavy trauma for years. In the 8 months that I have been working with Heather, I have never seen or felt this kind of growth in my entire life. She has helped me work through past, present, and future stressors, and create healthy communication habits and coping mechanisms. Heather has an easy-going personality, and an incredible way of making you feel comfortable talking about the most difficult things. She allows you to be as vulnerable and open as you'd like to be, and still manages to find ways to gently challenge you to further your expression and growth. She is certified in different types of therapy including couples counseling, talk therapy, and EMDR. (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing -- If she thinks you're a good candidate for it, just do it. Seriously.) If I had known THIS is what therapy could be, I would have started a long time ago. However, I'm so grateful to have started when I did with Heather. I would (and do) refer her to anyone I meet that is interested in therapy, especially those who are on the fence about beginning their healing/therapeutic journey.

I was so delighted to hear that Heather Swisher has opened her own practice. Heather was a…read moretherapist in my school district for students with severe behavioral and emotional issues. I am the school psychologist for the program. She connected well with all of the students with whom she worked. In addition, she was able to work well with the families and the school to guide her treatment goals. I would absolutely recommend her to any individual experiencing a need for therapeutic support. Heather has excellent experience in working with many different issues - and has a special talent for working with children. Heather is a gift to all who have met her!

She's flexible about squeezing clients in when they're dealing with new stressors - and I can often leave with a new problem solved in one session, after having worked with her longer in the past. She's particularly great in thinking about interfamily dynamics, and I've learned a ton from her that keeps me usually from having to visit her!

I was dealing with some stressful situations and really needed to find someone outside of my…read morepersonal network to confide in and help me navigate. I am very careful about how I go about investing in a therapist, and I took my time to explore my options and interview potential therapists. Immediately, I got a great feeling from Jill over the phone. From there, it has been very positive and healing. Her space is warm and welcoming, and Jill is extremely compassionate and patient. You really get a sense that she cares about you as a person, not just a client. Jill introduced me to QPRX therapy, which FINALLY got lingering emotions that had been weighing me down off my back! It's a quick and profound transformation, and even those around me noticed a change in my demeanor. I highly recommend anyone to try, especially when you are looking to get back a sense of empowerment from previous trauma. I highly recommend working with Jill Silverman.

It's very difficult for me to ever admit I need help. I can also be overly critical, but I have discovered my sessions with Michele to not only make me more productive in the bigger picture but most importantly, more well-balanced in home and work life. I saw her for a period of time 2 years ago and then because of my schedule and her location, I had to disappointedly stop. Then Covid happened and I reached out hoping she was doing telehealth. And she is! Nothing is more convenient than not having to drive somewhere. I look forward to my weekly FaceTime Sessions with her. She continues to help me as I pivot to adjust to each new life event. At this point, I consider her sessions to be a must-have even if everything were going well. She is the perfect blend of genuine caring, firm accountability, and insightful questions. Highly recommend her to anyone thinking about therapy.

She has helped me through the toughest things and the little things, pushing where I need to be pushed, listening and caring where that fits in too. She's definitely the person who says those things you need to hear. Even if others have given you the same advice your whole life, she can say it again in a way that you'll hear and will sound encouraging. Michele is the best. There's no one else I can imagine sharing as much with or trusting as much.

I was unlucky enough to find myself in need of a new therapist at the pandemic onset. I had a bad…read moreexperience with an unethical one and was left really struggling. The timing made it very difficult to find an experienced therapist. Most I contacted were busy and not taking new clients, many didn't even return calls. I looked for six months, trying the newer young psychologists available with disappointing results. I finally found Dr. Carlson online and liked his website. He was the last one I was going to try before giving up. He probably wasn't seeking new clients at the time, but responded, was compassionate and agreed to see me. He's a Ph.D psychologist with decades of experience and was nice enough to discuss my situation and needs beforehand. And he WOULD see clients in person when the restrictions lifted. I found Dr. Carlson to be an open, pragmatic therapist who is easy to be around and talk to. He works to really individualize his modality and treatment to the client and included me in the plan. He gets me, gives me the benefit of the doubt, and I can be real and honest without having to worry about being shamed. He restored my trust in therapists and the therapeutic experience. With the work we've done Ive experienced healing and my depression has lifted. I'm more at peace and less of a tortured soul. Dr. Carlson is a kind and rare person of integrity who puts his clients first and truly cares about people.

Debbie's positive, client centered approach creates a balance within sessions that is equal parts supportive and challenging. The connection and personalized relationship she fosters with her client's is by far the best part of working with her. Debbie also goes above and beyond for her client's, and never makes you feel that the time is a burden on her. The space she holds for client's, mixed with her research backed approaches to couples work, have allowed our marriage to flourish in ways we never even knew we wanted. The experience has been so positive, that we've even been able to get many of our friends to invest in couples therapy of their own. As a therapist myself, finding someone like Debbie, who's experience and genuine care overflows into her work with clients, has been pivotal in our progress. Every hour spent with Debbie inspires not only our dedication to our marriage, but positively impacts my own work as a therapist. Working with Debbie is an investment that we never question, as we feel the reward of this kind of work as a couple far outweighs any monetary value. It's a gift to work with someone who invests so much of her own energy and passion into her work with clients.

Shout out to Dr. Duncan-Higgs! After dealing with less-than-competent intake folks and…read morereceptionists, I was elated to discover that Rhonda was a good fit for my therapeutic needs. Given the location, I wasn't sure if she'd be one of those uptight, semi-judges therapists that seem to run rampant in San Diego, but she's not at all. She has a unique approach that is somewhat nurturing, but also direct and non-coddling. She is fantastic and I look forward to seeing her for years to come. Also, saw Dr. Mauro once and she was great, but unfortunately, due to an error with the intake team, I was only able to see her once. They've really got to get their support staff together. I'm tired of having to wait around because they don't have their paperwork together. The girls up front are often condescending, which is extremely annoying when you're there for mental health support.
