I had two lovely therapists at this center so this review is not a reflection on them - they were…read morevery kind to me and I am grateful to both of them. But unfortunately, I experienced a very traumatizing event caused by the clinic's director, Joshua Greene. I tried multiple times to ask for a phone conversation or face to face meeting to try to reach a resolution that wouldn't leave me utterly scarred after the situation, but Mr. Greene replied only with evasive, disingenuous language clearly meant to eradicate himself of any responsibility. I was not willing to go to the Board of Psychology with this incident because that required giving up my privacy. The experience has unfortunately left me shaken - and very uncomfortable with the realization that a mental healthcare professional could have such disregard for causing anguish to someone seeking support at his clinic.

I've been saving up my 200th review for something special…read more Nearly a year ago, I entered Leora's office -- heartbroken and unemployed. Like a sherpa helping me trek the heights of my fears, anxieties, and insecurities, she's guided me to the summit where I stared my neuroses face down. She helped me to recognize that I didn't need my ex, but was transferring fears of male abandonment from my father dying when I was young. To stop bemoaning what I don't have and focus on what I do have -- which is a lot. She's given me the confidence to find a great job with more responsibility and to cut off the negative elements in my life. And she even encouraged me to go to my first DYL, which is where I met all you wonderful people. (True, DYLs have not always been the scene of my prouder moments, but I've needed to let my hair down. And when I pick it back up again, she's not there to judge, but to help me examine why.) In the New Year, I have the opportunity of a lifetime, for me to continue development, to individuate, to explore. It's like I'm standing on the edge of a cliff and I can choose to either a) be pushed off, b) let it slowly erode over time and crumble, or c) take a swan dive and soar. I couldn't have taken any of these steps without her.

I decided to get help with eating and food issues and just general early 20's angst and terror. I went on yelp, called her, she called me back right away and she became my first therapist! My relationship to food, my body, and myself quickly improved. She is so talented as a therapist but she's also highly skilled with guided meditation and hypnosis and I always found the sessions more and more interesting, deep, and helpful as time went on. She is incredibly sincere and loving but also a no bullshit therapist which I really appreciated! She became an invaluable guide along my path to having the life I always dreamed of having but couldn't quite pull it off. I consider myself lucky to have found her so early on in my life and will always be grateful for the heart and wisdom she added to my life every week.

My session with Jodie wildly exceeded my expectations for a first session. Her grounded nature is…read morepalpable, and provides a rock-solid foundation for work that can quickly become vulnerable. Jodie seems to be a master of helping people through transitions. At least for me--I discussed with her a hard situation that had been swimming around for years but for which I never really found the words to describe my experience. Until now. In a seemingly ineffable way, Jodie helped me find the words for this dilemma that's been weighing on me practically my whole life, and teased out these different parts in conflict within. Somehow she helped me draw some perspective on these parts, which has already begun to help me get unstuck and move forward. It might sound cheesy, but I'm starting to feel "whole" in a way I haven't experienced before. I highly recommend Jodie to anyone seeking solid support in transition, which seems to be any given point in life.

I started going to see Kay around April 2019 for stomach pain and associated back pain (that would…read morenot go away after trying everything with my doctor) after reading how hypnosis can help with pain management. I liked Kay right off the bat! She's gives off a very calm and friendly vibe and is wonderful to talk too. I enjoyed our sessions a lot. Talking through my issues was nice and getting her take was helpful. The sessions were very relaxing as well. What I regret was not taking the audios seriously. I should have listened to them every day to get the benefit but I neglected that. I think that was why I didn't really think hypnosis was fully for me. It helped but not as much as I hoped. Forward to April 2020. I got infected with Covid in March and was dealing with many symptoms that would not go away. One of them was horrible acid reflux. I've had acid reflux in the past but this was 20x worse! Diet and medicine weren't helping and Kay texted me to check in with how I was doing (perfect timing!). I figured why not try hypnosis again and see. We had our session via FaceTime. I really liked doing it via FaceTime bc I could do it from the comfort of my couch or bed. No looking for parking or driving to SF. I stopped the medicine but continued to eat GERD friendly and listened to the audio we made 3x a day. My acid reflux went away! I just had to be diligent. I then developed another covid symptom a week or so later which was horrible headaches and nerve pain. I had another session with Kay and my symptoms improved. A couple of weeks later I stated having chest pains and heart palpitations, which is think was because I was too plugged into social media surrounding covid. My anxiety went through the roof. I could not stop being anxious. It was really really bad. My heart was racing so much all day. I had a session yesterday and I'm already feeling less anxious. My heart rate is going back to normal and I'm so grateful to Kay. I was considering taking anxiety meds and but I'm glad I tried Kay first. I think it's a combination of talking it through with Kay and doing the therapy that really helped. She really is amazing at what she does and I recommend her to anyone dealing with either physical or mental issues.

I got a lot out of only a handful of sessions together--she was immediately helpful and never pressured me to engage in any sort of long term engagement, which I really appreciate.

P.S. this was written by a real actual human :)

However, because of the nature of the work that Dana Iscoff is privy to, it would feel really irresponsible not to warn other parents. I will simply quote a quote of another review (that's right 3 of us saying this) that really nails our experience with Dana : 'The woman has no boundaries, is arrogant, obnoxious and narcissistic'. I will add sexist and absolutely disengaged. If you have any desire to co-parent amicably, that will not happen with Dana. If you have any desire to work with someone who cares at all about the children involved, do NOT work with Dana. She is self-involved, inconsistent, and seems most concerned with collecting financial retainers. Stay away. Her reviews speak for themselves- she has the lowest reviews of an Ma/MFT in San Francisco- in SAN FRANCISCO, therapist Mecca. Im only writing this because her first impression is pretty solid but it immediately devolves and I am hoping to spare other couples/parents- otherwise Id never bother with this.

I worked with Dianafor four years on almost a consistent weekly basis. She was extremely…read moreinsightful, caring and took the time to really listen and offered meaningul and empathetic feedback. There were moments of almost l" tough love" but she called me out on a lot of really important issues and made me aware of not only what was driving me psychologically but how to recognize red flags with other people and most importantly, how to communicate effectively with others. She's an excellent therapist and I highly recommend her to anyone who really wants to work on their deep seated issues and communication skills.

Whether you're looking for a therapist, an intuitive…read moreawakening or an opportunity to connect to someone who's passed, you will receive far more than you imagined by working with her. I recently had a reading with Val, where she managed to create the most meaningful and healing bridge between me and my father, who recently passed. I left our session feeling deeply connected to my dad, affirmed of his love, and very motivated to integrate his guidance into my life. She also shared visions of a potential future partner, and even more importantly, provided me with absolutely spot-on guidance in relation to how I can grow into the kind of woman capable of welcoming and receiving such a person into my life. I have been around the block when it comes to therapy and the healing arts. Val brings a rare presence, playfulness, courage and transparency into everything she does. As a psychic/intuitive reader, Val offers something much more profound than most. Because of her extensive background as a psychotherapist and her fearless love of the depths, she is able to provide the exact medicine required in each moment -- identifying patterns that need to be broken, gifts that need to be embraced, and soul priorities that need to be honored. Val has a way of meeting you exactly where you are and shining a light on exactly those places in yourself -- and in your life -- where your care and attention are most needed. I can't recommend Val more highly.

I have seen Valerie for EMDR therapy with tremendous success. My first "round" was back in 2021…read more(only ended up needing 4 sessions) and when I was done I actually stopped going to my individual therapist that I had been seeing for 3 years. The amount of relief EMDR with Valerie has provided me is absolutely priceless. After having a baby in 2022, a lot of other things resurfaced and I reached back out to do another "round" of EMDR. This time with similar efficiency and outcomes. We discovered so many revelations that I have never once had come up in any individual or couples therapy I've been to over the years. Overall I had a wonderful (and life changing) experience with Valerie and highly recommend her. I am able to keep my depression in check (I can't take meds for it), I am less anxious and stressed, and all of my relationships (especially my marriage) are better off because of the work I've done with Valerie. Valerie is one of the best listeners, understanding, and so incredibly sharp and insightful. I've referred friends that have had great experiences as well. If you're on the fence, just do it, my only regret is not doing it sooner. If you think it's too pricey, just think to yourself how much you would pay to not be feeling X anymore, or how much months of talk therapy/divorce costs... I'm pretty sure the answer is MUCH more than what you would pay for these sessions!

She tells you what you need to hear in a way that actually makes sense. She is also really funny, which makes talking about hard stuff so much easier. She's really professional as well, so I always feel comfortable and safe, but she still keeps things real and relatable. I never feel judged, just understood. I always leave our sessions feeling lighter and like I actually learned something about myself. I could be in the worst state headed to therapy, but when I get out, I feel like a brand new person. If you want someone who's honest, supportive, and will actually help you figure things out instead of just nodding and taking notes, she's the one. 10/10 recommend.

But as our daughter entered adolescence Dr Ehrensaft was both less effective and unable to deal with the difficulties of adolescence. Our daughter is challenging but she does not have many of the problems lots adolescents deal with. She does not struggle with substance abuse or self harm. She is a high achieving student. Dr Ehrensaft twice tried to summarily end treatment because our daughter was "rude".

In the middle of the pandemic, she left our family with no access to help. Please do not entrust your child to her care.

Dr. Collisson has definitely changed my life and arguably saved it…read more I've gone from life-threatening crisis to full recovery over the last year and a half. After 6 years of misdiagnosis and over-medication I was suffering from extreme chronic illness both physically and mentally. I came to her on at least 8 long-term medications, disabled and in total crisis. Through detailed testing, attentive personal conversations and her connecting and coordinating with my other specialists, Dr. Collisson pieced together the wicked puzzle that eluded at least a dozen prior doctors. I am no longer disabled at all. She empowered me to finally understand and control my own health. Today I feel healthier and stronger than I was in my 20s. I've only maintained one of the 8 medications and I've reduced the dose. I'm on one new permanent medication, but it's making a clearly understood and observable improvement to my health. I can't thank her enough! ...It's no small wonder that she is so over-subscribed and unable to accept new patients.

She works with individuals to discover the root causes of the situation and to find a holistic approach to healing. Not only is Dr. Collisson a great listener, but she is an incredibly intuitive person who is sincerely interested in one's well-being. Her process of learning about me and my lifestyle is very organic; conversation is very relaxed and never feels forced. She has a fantastic sense of humor, too, which helps to maintain a sense of balance in discussions. I like that she is dedicated to spending an entire hour with you each time, to maximize the outcomes of the visit (unlike most doctors I've been to, I never feel rushed). She is very good at piecing together aspects of one's life and using that information for individualized treatment. Going to Dr. Collisson is the best decision I've ever made in terms of my health, and I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an integrative medicine specialist.
