Serious Breach of Professional Ethics - Chris Massman, LMFT…read moreI am documenting a major concern regarding professional boundaries and ethical standards with Chris Massman dating back to the 2013 era. During treatment, it was discovered that Chris Massman maintained a pre-existing, undisclosed close personal friendship with the client's family members while concurrently acting as the primary clinician. In the state of California, this is a severe violation of professional ethics regarding 'Dual Relationships.' Failing to disclose such a conflict of interest is a breach of informed consent and patient trust. It appeared that private clinical information was shared with those personal ties rather than serving the patient's therapeutic interests. I strongly advise anyone seeking an objective, ethical therapist who respects confidentiality and autonomy to look for a provider other than Chris Massman who adheres to higher professional standards.

I am very fortunate to have worked with Kirsten for an extended period, and I can't recommend her…read morehighly enough. From the very beginning, her caring nature, reliability, and patience have stood out. Kirsten truly excels at listening, creating a space where you feel heard and understood. Her guidance is always thoughtful and timely, providing just the right amount of support without ever being overbearing. Kirsten has a knack for simplifying things which helps us see our (and/ or our partners) priorities and interests clearly. From there we can decide how to align priorities and interests if possible. Problems are often halfway solved just by seeing them from the perspective she crystalizes. Kirsten has extensive lived experience, which she brings into her practice in a meaningful way when appropriate. This depth of experience enriches our sessions and provides an invaluable perspective that has been instrumental. Whether you're seeking someone to offer guidance or simply need a compassionate ear, Kirsten is a great choice. I'm grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking genuine support and insight.

She is empathetic and warm but also challenging and insightful. I genuinely have felt cared for during our time together and you really get the sense that she is so passionate about her work and helping people. Emily is also the first East Asian therapist I've worked with and it has been valuable having someone who understands those cultural dynamics, especially when it comes to family. It's really nice not having to explain things that are so foundational in my background. I can't recommend Emily enough, she is a great talk therapist and I'm glad I found her.

If you're looking for a compassionate and thoughtful couples therapist, Emily will be a great choice. She has helped us rediscover the love, trust, and connection that brought us together to move forward with hope and love.

Dr. Melodie Schafer is far and away the most skilled, professional and effective therapist I've…read moreworked with. I saw two other therapists and they didn't even compare. I started with personal therapy and later couples counseling with my wife. I can't begin to put into words the work we've done and how much better I am now. On both the personal and relationship fronts there there has been marked results. She will challenge you to grow and help show you the blindspots that are holding you back. If you are interested in really getting help and going deep, then she is the one to see. This is not easy work by any means, it's some of the most challenging work I've ever done both personally and in my relationship on every level . The rewards for showing up and doing the work are immense. I can't recommend her enough, and if you are fortunate to work with her and commit to a length of time, I'm positive you will see results.

It was early on in our relationship, and after several circular arguments we felt it necessary to…read moresee a relationship therapy. At first we were hesitant to go to a therapist because of the stigma associated with couples counselling, which suggested that there was something wrong with our relationship. This is not true. It doesn't mean there is something wrong, it means you are both there, committed to strengthen and lay a strong foundation for your relationship. We contacted several therapists, and Grace was the first to respond. Her email stuck out to us. Right away she seemed compassionate and everything seemed to be very easy, all the way down to negotiating time in our busy schedule to see her. From the moment you walk through her door, you immediately feel comfortable; Soft lighting, a comfortable temperature, and a pitcher of iced lemony water reminiscent of a spa day. The first consolation was not just an assessment of our willingness to work with her, but also her willingness to work with us. By the end we felt so good about the consultation that it was really a no brainer, and we chose her as our therapist. She listened to both sides and helped us hear and understand one another. We generally were welcomed to drive the conversation when needed, and other times she helped us create a dialogue. She provided suggestions on how to break the cycle. It felt completely unbiased. Both of us were able to get our views across without feeling like we were wrong for thinking them. Instead she guided us towards a resolution that worked for both of us. We never felt judged or that we were wrong. We were aloud to feel what we were feeling. After a few months of working alongside Grace, 90% of our arguments were defused, and of the other 10%, we developed techniques to help come to a quick resolution. We now feel like a cohesive unit able to conquer anything before us, together. Thanks Grace for all your hard work and effort! You helped us lay the groundwork for a long lasting, phenomenal relationship. N & J
