I began meeting with Genevieve in October 2020 for an individual therapy session. She has been…read moregreat in helping me deal with my lack of self-confidence and struggles of being a mom of 2 young toddlers. She has helped me grow and mature in my marriage and has given me various tools and resources to achieve effective communication with my husband. Genevieve is incredibly empathetic, kind, warm, and accommodating. She is flexible when it comes to scheduling and very responsive to emails and phone calls. She saved my mental health during COVID and I cannot thank her enough! I highly recommend Genevieve Altwer as she is simply amazing. A professional therapist who puts her clients first, makes them feel heard and understood, and provides incredible customer service to all her clients. Thank you, Genevieve!

This is a long overdue endorsement of Genevieve Altwer, LMFT. I have been a client of hers for 3…read moreyears now and it has made all the difference in my life. I often thank her for saving me and she is always quick to reply, "Mark, you are the one that has done the work". Although this may be true, she has been my guide to do the "right" work so that ultimately I could process life's struggles in a better way and find the peace and grace inside my being that I always wanted. I have been a firefighter for 18 years and I have seen a lot of tragedy in that time. Prior to becoming a licensed therapist, Genny served in law enforcement for 13 years. Knowing this fact about her immediately garnered my attention because I knew she understood the realities of my occupation. I had seen a number of therapists prior but just never felt that rapport I had with Genny from our very first phone conversation. It was natural, organic and without pressure. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I really did not want to start up with therapy again but knew I needed to ask for help. I believe that me finding her was not by accident, just as I believe that you reading this endorsement is not coincidental. She may not be the right therapist for you, but then again, maybe she is the one. For me, I reached out to her to simply assist me with PTSD related to 911 calls I had experienced. And we have definitely tended to those incidents and the trauma. But what I came to discover was that I had a lot of layers to uncover and work on in my own personal life. That has made all the difference. There has never been any pressure to talk about any specific facets of my life. I tell my story and she guides me through to help present perspective so that I may find the solution. You cannot control your environment and the people in it many times. But you can choose to reach out for help, put the work into you and ultimately find yourself in a better state of grace despite all that life throws our way. My hope is that by sharing my story and work with Genevieve Altwer, LMFT, it can help save one life. If it does, then it will have been worth it. Take care of you. Mark.

They deliberately keep the number of clients low to make sure everyone has the chance to contribute to the conversation, resulting in great group dynamics. Likewise, the program space is full of comfortable chairs, weighted blankets, fidget toys, floor seats, and whatever other sensory safety goodies you could ask for. There's a great balance of CBT/DBT theory, skills practice, creative expression, group therapy, and individual therapy (and no, you don't need to know what any of those mean, you'll learn as you go :) ). The psycho-education talks on the gastrointestinal tract, memory, sleep, and psychiatric medication are especially fascinating! If you're on the fence about whether to try Liffey or another IOP, give them a call or email, and I'm sure a few minutes of chatting with Sean, Marla, or any other member of the team will be the nudge you might be looking for, like it was for me.

Niina is very professional and would check in with us weekly to see how our at home neurofeedback sessions were going. She was also very insighful and knowledgable.

As I worked with Tania we explored events from my childhood and adulthood, so it was truly a comprehensive approach. Tania has helped me with EMDR, and after 2-3 treatments, I felt significantly better. I would say there was a marked difference in my level of anger, tension and stress. After working with Tania for over two years, I also did ketamine treatment. Tania was the ideal therapist to guide me through this process. The ketamine treatment helped me to objectively understand past events and process them in a productive way. I also gained important insights through this treatment, which has given me a lot of peace. I would highly recommend Tania as an experienced trauma therapist who is experienced, gentle, trustworthy and capable of helping her clients process the most complex trauma. Tania has helped me tremendously in processing past events, and evolving through them so that I am able to live a more happy, healthy and peaceful life.

Dr. Sara Herman changed my life. I have been struggling with severe anxiety for decades and am now…read morein middle age. I had given up hope and resigned myself to living in a constant state of tension and distress which negatively affected my family as well. I was hesitant to try this type of treatment but decided to take a chance given Dr. Herman's excellent reputation. I was impressed by the entire patient experience. Everything from the immaculate office, to the warm and comforting treatment rooms, to the integration workbook are very well thought-out. The IV ketamine treatments are done on comfortable loungers with effective eyeshades and curated music. I hardly ever saw anyone else in the office during my visits, and when I did, it all still felt very private and discreet. After receiving the Stellate Ganglion Block and 6 IV ketamine treatments, I am finally feeling a relief and calm that I didn't think I would ever experience again. The thing that sets Dr. Herman apart is that she truly wants you to get to a healthy state that lasts. I decided to do the Stellate Ganglion Block first, since it is the "hard reset" to calm an overactive nervous system. Dr. Herman performed the procedure flawlessly and explained things every step of the way. I felt deep relief and relaxation after the procedure which lasted for many months. It was incredible. At no point did Dr. Herman push for any further treatments, she let me decide based on how I felt. In fact, she said that I should first work up other health issues, to make sure that I was starting from an optimal state of physical health before additional treatments. It turns out that she was right, and I discovered some breathing issues that were likely impacting my sleep and, in turn, impacting my mental state. My anxiety was much improved but still present, so I decided to try the ketamine. I opted for the recommended 6 week protocol since I wanted to maximize the benefit and not just get partial improvement. I'm glad I did, because after this 6th treatment, I have had a breakthrough. I responded to a recurring stressful situation at home from a place of calm and equanimity instead of the usual reactivity. It was a major shift in my approach to a difficult life stressor and has noticeably improved the dynamic in my household. I am now on a good path to a better life, something I never would have thought possible. Dr. Herman is the ideal practitioner for this work because she combines excellent technical skills with a deep understanding of psychological healing. Her assistant Shade is also a warm and welcoming presence and provides additional much needed support. I feel very grateful to live in a place and time where a professional like Dr. Herman can provide this life-changing service for those in distress. She has the skills and the best intentions to relieve suffering and improve lives. I feel like I have been rescued from drowning. If you are suffering in silence, Dr. Herman can help you. Her work is benefitting not just me, but my family and friends, and others I come across. I am deeply grateful.

I've been going to Soft Reboot Wellness for over a year now and I can firmly say that my life has…read morechanged completely. I have tried many treatments for my general anxiety and gone to many different in person therapists. I finally decided to give Soft Reboot Wellness a try and I am so grateful that I did. Dr Sara Herman made me feel immediately comfortable at her practice and answered any questions that I had. I have been going to her office in Menlo Park for ketamine therapy and recently had a Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) for my anxiety. I had been looking all over the bay area for an integrative medicine practice like this one. Every session for my ketamine therapy was unique and included a post treatment call with her incredible assistant, Shade. From the moment you walk into the center, you feel at ease. I knew exactly what would happen and when which helped me feel comfortable. The first ketamine therapy relieved my ongoing anxiety symptoms for 3 months after my treatment before I returned for another. The deeply personal work done in treatment was supported by Dr Herman's warmth and understanding. I felt so seen and validated by what came up for me during treatment. After about a year, I told Dr Sara Herman that I was still having some panic attacks and anxiety around day to day tasks. That is when she suggested a Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB). She explained what the procedure entailed and Shade gave me a call a week prior to go over what was expected before/after. Once I left Soft Reboot Wellness with my SGB, I felt a huge sense of relief wash over me. I hadn't realized how much my anxiety impacted my every day and every thought. Over the next week, I encountered so many situations that would've triggered a panic attack, but I was able to navigate past them smoothly. I even started to have deeper sleep and felt it easier to work through my daily emotions. I am forever indebted to Soft Reboot Wellness for truly changing the way I move through the world. I am so grateful to have found something that works so well for my mind, body, and soul.
