I found Karen when I was still living in the Bay Area through a friend whose teen daughter was seeing her and and both he and his wife highly recommended her. I have since moved, but my son and his Mom are still in Marin County and my son is in weekly therapy with Karen. I noticed that Karen was on Yelp, and I just has to write a review because she has been such a gift in my son's life. We didn't think he would ever feel better, but with Karen's dedication, guidance, and compassion, he has turned a corner and is now applying to colleges with a very good shot at getting in. Karen is worth the call to make an appointment for yourself or your son or daughter.

Unfortunately ethics do not allow him to respond to your review since by even doing so he would be acknowledging that you were the center's client and thus breaking confidentiality. As a client you are able to say whatever you want. I would caution any prospective client reading this is that when clients and therapists have disputes that the client may not be reporting how the therapist saw the situation and the therapist can't respond. Also I have been a licensed therapist since 1983 and I would not take this client on in this situation. Doing therapy and determining injury for a court claim are very different processes. Best practice is not to do both and there are therapists who specialize in doing evaluations. The goal with a therapist is to help you deal with the psychological issues from the accident to help you deal with them better and hopefully move on. The goal of the evaluation is to establish that these injuries exist and are reasonably attributed to the car accident. Let's say that you also had childhood trauma and that this trauma is being relived in terms of the accident. It's critical that you deal with this in your therapy. It's probably the last thing you would want a therapist to say in court because it causes doubt that the accident was the sole cause of your trauma. I hope that you have found someone who is able to help you find healing.
