As good as it gets. If you are fortunate enough to find Melinda and spend time working through…read morelife issues with her, you will be like so many others out there, including myself. You will praise her as a professional, as a life guide, and as someone who puts your needs first with the highest level of professionalism. I have known Melinda for over a decade and have trusted her advice to guide me through personal and professional challenges. At the end of the day, platforms like Yelp help individuals like myself get the word out there so others can benefit from the true gem that she is. You cannot go wrong with her. I would not be here writing this if I felt differently. She makes a difference, is real, and knows her profession well. You are in good company and safe if you have taken the time to engage Melinda and gotten to know her. Like another reviewer said "you almost forget you are in therapy" when you are with her. So very true. Just read these reviews. Anything but five stars is a disservice to what she has done for so many in our community. Thank You M

I can't say enough good things about Lisa Young. Working with her has been incredibly helpful,…read moreespecially during the postpartum period after having my baby. She created such a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable exploring emotions and thoughts that came up that I honestly wasn't expecting. She helped me gently unpack why certain feelings surfaced postpartum and guided me through understanding them instead of feeling overwhelmed or ashamed by them. She never rushed the process and always met me where I was emotionally. I felt truly heard, supported, and validated in every session. If you're navigating postpartum changes, big life transitions, or just trying to understand yourself better, I highly recommend Lisa Young. She's compassionate, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about helping you move forward in a healthy way.

If you are looking for a wonderful option for therapy support, please take the opportunity to work…read morewith Caileigh Chadwick of Bloom therapy. I was fortunate to have great support in my younger years when I tragically lost my father at an early age. More recently, I felt I needed support as I have been dealing with PTSD from the past and anxiety. Caileigh is the most genuinely caring, empathetic , and active listening counselor I have ever encountered!! Whether it is our conversation, or the use of EMDR, She has been a problem solver and beyond wonderful!!!

Jordana Raiskin is an excellent psychotherapist. She has several attributes that make her both a…read morevery effective therapist and a pleasure to work with. She is smart which makes her quick to get to the point where you feel she "gets" you. She has a good sense of humor that makes her easy to work with and has the sometimes missing quality in therapists, the ability to laugh at herself. Lastly, she really cares and understands current therapeutic trends that really makes you feel like you have an ally who is trying to help. I think she's currently on a working sabbatical so even if she's not in Austin, she's worth giving a call or sending her an email.

Paige Bartholomew and I started working together about two years ago. I needed a therapist who…read morecould accommodate and understand my unique life experiences and spiritual path. I reached out to Paige and we were an immediate fit. Paige intuitively balanced intellectual discussions about my shadows with heart centered practices and spiritual wisdom that was congruent with my spiritual path. I am so grateful to her for her guidance and support these past two years. If you are in the need of someone you can trust and talk with about making positive changes in your life, I cannot recommend a brighter soul.

Paige is hands down the best therapist that I have ever personally experienced. I have been…read moresearching for so long for a good fit. I have gone through so many people over the years and have felt so defeated and really worse than when I started. I was simply searching for someone authentic and kind and who genuinely cares and doesn't cut you off mid-sentence to say that time is up. Her incredibly unique approach to therapy is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR for the entire industry and should genuinely be the standard of care. She offers an entirely different experience, and the effects of her approach are almost immediate. I have never felt so listened to and heard. She genuinely wants to help me with what I am coming to her for, and I can feel it, and that alone is so tremendously healing. Her approach is an incredible blend of methodical, gentle, focused, and fluid based on your needs for that day. She marries the art and science of therapy in a way that works so quickly for my brain and heart. If you are seeking genuine support through life's complexities and are through with the typical experience that traditional therapy offers, have a consult with Paige and you will know right away what I mean. If you are struggling with big life decisions, need guidance and clarity, need to work through trauma, or need to work through something big or small, please do not wait one more second to book a consultation. You will not regret it. I will be with her all the way to the finish line...(If there is there a finish line for this work. ). I know that therapy can be kind of miserable. It's not with Paige. It's genuinely lovely. Even when you are working through something hard, she won't let you leave the call mid-misery. She will bring you somewhere better than when you came on.

Without going into too much detail, I got my nutrition under control and my brain is clearer than ever, But several sessions later I walked away with an excellent recommendation for some reading material. Cyndi had me read Lonely at the Top: The High Cost of Men's Success. It has made me totally change the way that I perceive and deal with adversity and competition in the workplace. Things which used to Seem like insurmountable obstacles, I now intuitively Know how to deal with them quickly, not giving much thought at all. Cyndi, if you ever doubt whether your work makes a difference in the world or not, stop. You have single-handedly changed and made at least one persons life so much easier and more peaceful by giving them a different set of tools to deal with life's challenges. Thank you so much.

I had a few intake sessions with Cyndi. I have previous years of experience in therapy and was…read moredisappointed with my time at Flourish. Cyndi is very knowledgeable and clearly well-versed in theories and practice. However, I felt her demeanor in sessions was unprofessional and lacked boundaries. I felt this at a few points through our sessions - she related a lot of my experiences to herself and her own experiences and relationships, her crude language was not filtered, and at one point she expressed deep frustration and irritation when a scheduling conflict arose. As a young person seeking help, I feel someone leading her practice should be more responsible with patient feelings and experience. Ps: there is a small old chihuahua that sits on Cyndi lap during sessions- this is not disclosed beforehand and is good to know.

I have been seeing Jennifer for several years now. She is the best therapist I could have ever…read moreasked for. She is knowledgeable and gentle but also knows how to guide our time together so I am getting the most out of our sessions and learning how to apply that to my life. During our work together, I have become more confident, happier with my work choices and even got engaged recently! I know that my work with Jennifer has helped me tremendously in every aspect of my life. I can not recommend her enough. If you want a down-to-earth therapist, check her out. You won't be disappointed.

How do you review someone who has literally helped change -- even save -- your life? I'm afraid…read morethere aren't enough stars for the impact Patricia has had on me. She has helped my wife and I through difficult times and taught us how to start growing toward each other, not further apart. She has given me the comfort, wisdom, courage, and support I need to finally begin winning my own battles with anxiety and depression. She takes an active role in my healing, listening when I need it, but offering so much more. She challenges me. She gives me new skills to practice and ideas to try. She recommends things to read. She has helped me unbury feelings I never knew I had, and make sense of them. She taught me to be kinder to myself. And she creates a safe place to say things you've never said, to cry when you've held it in for so long, and to discover the "you" that you may have long ago buried. I still have a lot of room to grow, but I know that I am a happier, kinder, and more authentic version of myself because of Patricia. Give her a call if you are curious if she can help you. I'm forever grateful that I did.

I saw Patricia last week for a therapy session with my sister. It was the first time seeing her and…read moreour first time at therapy. Patricia was great and was easy to schedule with over email and even spoke to us before the session on the phone due to our own time restraints. During one session I feel Patricia was able to help us immensely. I feel we both came out of the session with a better understanding of how one another functions, copes, and relates. We instantly felt comfortable with Patricia and she had great skill and insight. If you are looking for a family or women's issue therapist I would definitely go see her!
