Before working with Apaar, I had experience with talk therapy but had never tried hypnosis. I've…read morefound it to be an incredibly enlightening and transformative experience. Through memory exploration and visualization exercises, Apaar helped me uncover emotional dynamics in my family that had been affecting me in ways I wasn't even aware of. The way I thought about certain relationships began to shift even after one session. At our first meeting, Apaar immediately made me feel welcomed and comfortable. As we talked, it quickly became clear that she is an active listener who keenly picks up on important details and asks brave questions that get to the heart of what you are expressing. Her method is gentle and comforting, without compromising on honesty and focus. Her genuine concern for and connection to the vulnerable moments I share makes me feel truly seen, and prepared to face difficult obstacles I had been avoiding. I highly recommend Awaken Life Hypnosis to anyone seeking healing, and look forward to continuing my work with Apaar!

This was the first hypnotherapist I have ever attended. If you have never been hypnotized, this is a great place to try it out. Sessions begin with a relaxed conversation about yourself, past and present. That conversation expands into shorter exercises and mini-hypnosis. Then the session culminates in the 'main event' at the end. The therapist is extremely kind, present, and engaged (super important qualities for this type of work). You will not regret booking a session. I highly, highly recommend it.

When you go into any counseling session, I would imagine some people would be prepared to feel defensive but she has a way of getting through that and making you just love to learn about yourself.

In my opinion, everyone should attend at least one of her sessions to learn more about life purpose, personalities and love. Thank you!

This past year, I experienced an extremely traumatic family crisis that completely upended my…read moreworld. For months, I struggled with severe anxiety, depression, and debilitating PTSD symptoms. Medication was only helping a little bit, and I didn't want to rely solely on it. I was looking for something that could provide more immediate and lasting relief, which led me to the Brain Wellness Center in San Ramon for TMS treatment. Before beginning treatment, I was in profound distress. I experienced intense visceral emotional reactions and PTSD symptoms that felt overwhelming. My trigger responses were debilitating and sometimes turned violent--I was throwing things, breaking things, and unable to control my rage. The emotional flooding was extreme, often leaving me gasping for air and doubled over in pain. I had strong urges to self-harm and uncontrollable impulses toward physical aggression, which I sometimes acted on. I couldn't engage in any therapeutic work--I couldn't even look at books about my type of trauma without becoming dysregulated. My mind was trapped in constant rumination and obsessive thoughts. The anxiety was so severe that I felt like I was losing myself. After completing 50 sessions of TMS, the transformation has been remarkable. I developed motivation for basic self-care like going to sleep early and taking vitamins--things that felt impossible before. When triggered now, I still feel anger surge through me, but I no longer have the urge to be physically aggressive. I can now engage in therapeutic work, reading books about my trauma and participating in therapy discussions. I still feel discomfort, but it's manageable--not the dysregulating panic I experienced before. I've learned to disengage and down-regulate when triggered. I'm calmer and better able to care for myself instead of drowning in obsessive thoughts. The compulsion toward physical aggression has dramatically decreased. My anxiety is much less intense--I can redirect my attention to self-care, and the upset no longer overwhelms me. Most importantly, I'm no longer on my knees or doubled over in emotional pain. I am able to walk toward healing. The doctors at Brain Wellness Center are truly exceptional. Both Dr. Hashemian and Dr. Palmer are deeply compassionate, excellent listeners, and incredibly knowledgeable--they've been doing this work for decades and are true experts. I felt confident I was in capable hands. What I appreciated most was their honest approach with no sales pressure. They truly want you to make the best choice for you, whether that means working with them or another TMS specialist. They were thorough in their assessments and committed to tracking progress systematically. Week by week, I could literally see the steady decline in my anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms through their comprehensive measurements. The most dramatic improvement was in my anxiety symptoms. I would say that I started feeling really noticeable relief from my symptoms after about 6 sessions. Next to the treatment's effectiveness, I was most impressed with the staff. Mayra, Angelica, Autumn, and Olivia work seamlessly as the techs and coordination team. They are incredibly kind, consistently professional while genuinely warm and caring, and highly skilled. You can tell they're happy in their work environment. They were efficient with scheduling, accommodating with changes, and excellent at follow-through and communication. Appointments always started on time, and the facility was meticulously clean. I felt genuinely taken care of throughout all 50 sessions. TMS at Brain Wellness Center gave me my life back. I went from being unable to function, violent in my reactions, and contemplating self-harm to being able to engage in healing work, regulate my emotions, and move forward with my life. The relief I sought--something more immediate and lasting than medication alone--is exactly what I found. If you're struggling with depression, anxiety, or PTSD, I cannot recommend Brain Wellness Center highly enough. Thank you to Dr. Hashemian, Dr. Palmer, Mayra, Angelica, Autumn, and Olivia for helping me find my way back to myself. The healing journey continues.

Rebecca is an intuitive psychotherapist. When I first contacted her, I was struggling with worry, fear and depression caused by my inability to get pregnant. Although willing to speak with me on the phone, I thought that was weird, so our first appt was in person, followed by later phone sessions. She is totally able to do what she does over the phone, too, which really surprised me! Rebecca is warm, and the techniques she taught me regarding energy work and modifying my thought process were really inspriational. She helped me move out my old, negative thought patterns and helped me see the silver lining to every cloud, and how things don't come in the front door when you're staring at it, willing the doorbell to ring, but they do come in the backdoor, when you're not paying attention . . . And that's exactly what happened! I don't think I could have gotten to where I am now without her help, and where I am now is (finally!) where i've wanted to be for so long now! Thank-you, Rebecca!!!

I saw Deborah Rodgers for psychotherapy earlier this year. At first Deborah seemed very open and…read moreready to listen to the issues I was struggling with at the time. However, it became very clear soon that Deborah did not have the experience to handle any complex life issues. I found out that she was not able to provide any support for an issue other than basic communication problems. She would constantly say that my situation is "too difficult" for her. I told her I'd rather prefer a compassionate approach and find ways to manage my own anxiety in hopes of guiding her in providing me with the support that would be beneficial for me. She was not able to budge. Her lack of support during a time when I needed it most actually made my situation much worse, unfortunately. I was bummed I had spend so much money and end up in a worse spot than before. I politely mentioned to her that I wish to continue my treatment and healing through other forms of therapy and that I appreciated her help. After this, is when the nightmare for me personally began. I asked Deborah for basic information so I can submit our therapy sessions to my insurance. However, she declined to provide me with her business identification information. Then as I dug deeper into it, she didn't even document a diagnosis code for our sessions. No wonder she had no idea how to help me, as it clear she didn't even pay attention enough to properly document our sessions. I am astounded that a medical professional would act so carelessly and negligently with their patients and documentation. I am curious why she refused to provide my with the license information for my claim. No other professional therapist has ever had issues providing my information for claims. I have been trying to contact her for 4 months now and still no response. Does she even have a legitimate business? It feels a bit like a scam. With the end of the year approaching I doubt I will be able to get my refund from insurance in time. It is so unfortunate that Ms. Rodgers left me with so many psychological as well as financial issues. If you have any serious life issues you are dealing with or past trauma, please save yourself the time, money, and stress and avoid Deborah. I have been going to various amazing therapists through my life, and I am very disappointed to say that Deborah doesn't even come close. If you have any insurance claims to submit definitely avoid as she can't provide you with any documentation you need for reimbursement. I can't believe she cost me so much money and can't help with a simple task that would help my life so much. This experience was and is completely saddening and frustrating.
