After hearing positive feedback from some of her previous associates through online networking, I had actually reached out to her with interest over a year prior to joining her practice. The stars aligned just when I was struggling from burnout in a public health setting. Dr. Kwan is warm, genuine, empathetic, and knowledgeable. I appreciate the thoughtful ways in which she inquires, draws connections, and reflects her understanding. More than just demonstrating her keen listening, but also her astuteness. She has depth and breadth of experience, not only in clinical practice and current trends in mental health and society, but also in the business and ethical aspects of private practice. I think it's important to mention that she provides an ethical compensation structure, which not all private practices engage in. I feel privileged in having Dr. Kwan's clinical and professional guidance as I navigate the transition to private practice!

I've seen Sarah through the years and she has been an awesome sounding post throughout my ups and…read moredowns. She is not your typical stuffy, ivory tower therapist and can provides a warm, patient and even humorous (at times!) environment. That being said, she is clearly an expert in women's mental health and has provided me with incisive and direct insight into my relationship patters. I highly recommend Sarah; sticking with her throughout the process was one of the best things I've ever done!

He will change your life and the impact with ripple through out your life…read more The Mind/Body Foundations training has truly changed my life. Looking back to where it all started, I realized that adopting a beginner's mindset and approaching life with a child's curiosity played a huge role in my growth. This program gave me a remarkable gift - understanding and compassion, not just for others but for myself, too. Learning to truly listen helped me connect with people on a deeper level. I've also learned to spot when something's bothering me and not react impulsively. Instead, I've become better at settling within myself and giving myself space for some self-reflection - a skill I didn't have before. By not jumping to quick reactions, I've built stronger, more meaningful relationships in my personal life and at work. This newfound composure has boosted my confidence in making decisions, leading to better choices overall. I've also healed some of my core wounds, which have helped me connect with people, excel in my job, and make new friends after a big move across the country. The Mind/Body Foundations training helped me know my true self and uncover my heartfelt intentions. These discoveries guide me as I consider making significant changes in my life. Knowing my true self gives me the confidence to take these steps, and my heartfelt intentions act as a compass, pointing me in the right direction. I recommend the Mind/Body Foundations training to anyone seeking personal growth, self-awareness, and a more fulfilling life. This program has been instrumental in helping me connect with myself and those around me on a deeper level. Thank you, Chad, for this incredible journey of self-discovery and growth!

There are simply not enough adjectives to describe her scope of awareness, knowledge, thoughtfulness, compassion and understanding of the human experience. She radiates empathy, has the memory of an elephant and helps you become a better person behind a smile and infectious laughter.

Simply put, Erin is a gem of a therapist and human being. If you need to work through something, anything, her engaging nature will help you to understand and rewire whatever you are going through.

I started going to Esther when I was near rock bottom after the end of a relationship and continued…read moregoing for a bit over a year. Over the course of that year, Esther truly helped me gain back the self-confidence and self-respect that I had lost. She also helped me see the origin of many of my actions and behaviors that contributed to my problems and develop healthier and more productive responses to anxiety. Esther would start our sessions with a discussion of my prior week and what was troubling me, and give both insights and helpful suggestions for deciding on the path forward. After that, we usually worked on getting to the root causes of my anxiety or exercises to immediately provide some relief (many of which I could then use on my own). As I regained my self-confidence, the focus shifted to everything from work stresses to the most effective ways for me to reach my goals for the future. I am leaving therapy in such a better place than I started, and I couldn't thank Esther enough for the compassion, strength, and knowledge that she showed me. I highly recommend her for anyone going through a tough time in their lives, or just anyone who wants to get some great techniques and guidance towards achieving their goals!

It's been 11 years since the last time I wrote a review. What could possibly inspire me to want to…read morewrite a review after such a long hiatus? One word: therapy. I still remember the day I reached out to Esther requesting for her psychotherapy service. I had just ordered all these self-help books via Amazon that were piling up on my nightstand, but my mind was all over the place and I couldn't find a way to focus on where to begin. If you googled the phrase "woe is me", the top result would probably be a photo of me. I needed someone to help navigate me through my anxious thoughts, someone to provide me with the right tools that would let me better articulate my feelings, someone to boost my confidence, but most importantly someone to just help me get a grip on my entire mental wellbeing. Fortunately shortly after reaching out to Esther, she was able to take me in. I remember feeling wary coming into our first session. I had worked with a few other therapists prior to her, but I didn't feel like I got to where I needed to be with them. I remember during that very first session I was experiencing so much anxiety and overthinking so many events in my life. The simple question of "how are you doing/what is going on in your life?" sent me into a spiral and I remember just crying and pouring out so many bottled up emotions. By the end of our first session, we practiced a cognitive diffusion exercise together and I remember immediately feeling a sense of relief. I felt so much more hopeful than at the beginning of our session and that if I gave it more time I could overcome the mental obstacles that were holding me back. What really solidified my decision to stick with Esther was her hands on approach. With other therapists, we would have a full session of chatting, maybe do an exercise or two, and then pick up again the following week with nothing to hold me accountable with what we practiced. But with Esther, she would assign me homework that would consist of more than just reading. Her assignments would really challenge me to get out of my scared little comfort zone. Then the following week she would always follow up to make sure I really completed that homework. Six months later of consistent therapy with Esther, I can confidently say I am in a much better head space. She's provided me with so many tools that really helped build my confidence and foster a better relationship with myself through emphasizing the importance of self care and just really speaking more kindly to myself. It sounds so simple, but it honestly is a lot of work. I'm so glad I got through it with Esther. She has such a kind, compassionate, and most importantly a nonjudgmental demeanor. I always felt safe during our sessions and that I could speak my mind no matter how silly I thought I might sound. She really helped boost my confidence and made me believe in myself and that under all this "woe is me" there truly is an amazing lovable confident person.

I love her flexibility with being able to accommodate to my schedule to meet both in person and on zoom.

Now I am in a position of needing to make some incredibly positive changes, and there's no one I would trust more to help me achieve what she has helped me understand is possible. She teaches lessons of caring for myself in ways that really resonate. When I think of typical support for mental health, it's so sterile and disconnected. But with Abigail, I feel like I'm more in tune with the world instead of alone in my own head. I see myself as part of a greater whole, and feel inspired to connect with both myself and my loved ones in meaningful ways. She doesn't hide her humanity to help those under her care, but lets it shine forth and inspire. I highly recommend those in need of guidance and support to connect with Abigail.

My relationship relationships have been better, my perspective on life and my ability to handle challenges has improved. Stephanie not only helped me overcome some of these experiences in the moment, but proactively helped me build the tools to handle them as they come up in the future. I have been with Stephanie through incredible times of anxiety, difficult, familial, relationships, and the loss of a parent. She has such range as a therapist to be able to handle pretty much any circumstance. I have never worked with somebody so incredibly impactful.

I have seen a few other therapist over the years but I have never met a therapist that I just clicked with the way I have with Bridget. She is stylish and sophisticated yet down to earth. I know I can speak freely about anything with her and get the honest feedback that I need to make positive changes in my life. She isn't a touchy feely kinda of therapist. She doesn't coddle me. She gives it to me straight without ever making me feel defensive. There is no subject that is off limits when I see her. I honestly talk to her about EVERYTHING. She knows me better than anyone else on this planet and still seems to think I'm a good person. I take that as a good sign of my progress. I confess all my sins to her and she advises me on how not to make the same mistakes twice. Since I've started seeing her a couple of years ago my life has made a remarkable change for the better. Which is pretty amazing considering I went through the devastating breakup of my almost 18 year long relationship with my partner and was diagnosed with an eye condition that is slowly causing me to lose my sight. Yet through all of that I have some how managed to not only survive but become a stronger and better version of myself. I am happier than I have ever been and I could never have gotten here if it wasn't for Bridget. I have recently moved down to the South Bay but I still come into the city to see her. I can't imagine going to another therapist. I'd fly across the country to see her.

I had spoken to a handful of therapists when I first began looking and she was the one person I spoke with who let me come to all my own conclusions on my own. She is kind, but honest.
