Dr. Davina Kotulski is an incredibly gifted therapeutic listener and intuitive counselor. I've been…read moreto therapy a few times, and she has been the most incisive and gentle of them all. I started with her for her life coaching after I read her amazing and inspiring books It's Never Too Late to Be Yourself and The Manna Paradigm Shift. She should be on ALL THE TALK SHOWS!! She also has an established legacy as a freedom fighter, and her evolution and work only continues to grow. She is a wonderful example of how to listen to yourself. She wasted no time getting to the heart of things to help me for the life coaching sessions. We ended up going back to some things that were snagging me up before moving forward, even doing a past life regression session to clear things out. In short, she has all the skills, but the most important thing for me has been her inclusive spirituality at the center of her work. It just helps clear things more effectively to make more space for joy and manifesting. She's the real deal. If you are thinking of a life coach, she's the best of the best.

Being a marriage counselor is not always an easy nor rewarding career when providing marriage…read morecounseling to clients with Narcissism or Borderline Personality disorders. Joanne has practiced therapy for many years and immediately provided therapy for the root cause of our marriage issues. I decided to start seeing Joanne for personal therapy and unlike other therapists that like to address the symptoms, Joanne helped detail the issues providing me with full clarity for first time in my life. She recommended books that I've read and set me on a path to fully heal and recover from being married to a narcissist. I learned more from Joanne in two therapy sessions than I have over the years combined with other therapists. I can now see the manipulation, lies, and gas lighting in real time. I'm forever indebted and grateful for Joanne, she has completely changed my life. I'm the child of a narcissist and like many empathetic people, married a narcissist. My narcissistic ex-wife left a bad review for Joanne because most narcissist dislike all therapists other than those that agree with them. Joanne within two individual therapy sessions, after being our marriage counselor, set me on a course to fully understand how I came to be and why I married a narcissist with BPD. I can not stress enough how incredible and knowledgable Joanne is at being a therapist. Again, I'm absolutely grateful she was my therapist and now that my divorce is finalized I'll be contacting her again for therapy. Fan of Ms Koegl I guarantee you she is the best therapist on Yelp.

We started seeing her before we got married, and she's been amazing at helping us communicate better and navigate challenges together. She also helped us gain a clearer understanding of our backgrounds and why we do what we do, and she's genuinely committed to helping us grow.

We still go back for sessions when we need to work on things, and every time we leave feeling stronger as a couple. Highly recommend her!

So I've tried quite a few therapists and interventions and it wasn't until working with the…read morewonderful people at Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates that I really felt that emotional healing was possible and that I could start to see the light at the end of the tunnel following decades long depression. Havening techniques and other techniques have helped me (someone who defaults to over-intellectualizing) get out of my head and into my body which I've found is imperative for healing emotional trauma. With all that said I'm really here to share my experience with the Neurofeedback training done with Rebecca Turner. Having done so much healing and reprocessing through talk therapy, I still felt that my thought patterns were like a hose turned all the way up, whipping around, unable to catch, and control, soaking everyone around me. The initial brain mapping (which is done first to know what areas of the brain to target for training) reflected with tangible data what I was experiencing inside. Ms. Turner described it to me like "your two hemispheres are yelling at each other" which turned out to be one of the most validating things my brain has ever heard about itself. The neurofeedback training process itself is not as complicated and/or intimidating as the name sounds. If one is doing eyes open training, you essentially attach some small sensors to your head using a conductive goop and watch a tv show while the screen brightens and dims in response to the information collected by the sensors and neurofeedback program. For "eyes closed" training, you listen to lyric-less music while the music adjusts the volume to help train your brain. And it all works. I feel good about myself. Shame is now a passing emotion instead of a state of being. Rumination is down ten-fold as my hemispheres aren't "yelling at each other". My thoughts and feelings don't control me as much and/or send my on a downward spiral. If you are someone who feels your emotions are often become too much for you to handle that even standard therapy couldn't alone help, might I suggest neurofeedback?

But life circumstances eventually led me to Jacqui, and now I'm actually grateful for the hardships that brought me to her. She's different from any therapist I've ever worked with. Jacqui really helps you dig deeper and look at things in a more honest, meaningful way. She doesn't just tell you what you want to hear or coddle you, because that wouldn't actually help you grow. Instead, she challenges you in a supportive and thoughtful way that pushes you to understand yourself better. I had never heard of ART before and was honestly skeptical, but I was desperate and willing to try anything. Hands down, it's one of the most valuable techniques she has in her vast arsenal of tools to help her patients. Her guidance on how to manage my anxiety in between sessions is something I will carry with me for life. Working with her has been a truly valuable experience, and I'm incredibly grateful to have found her.If you're struggling with something, I really encourage you to reach out and see her. It will change your life. It certainly changed mine.

I came to Jacqui to heal my trauma, and I'm now more traumatized when leaving at the 2nd ART…read moresession due to a racist comment by Jacqui. The first ART session with Jacqui was about 2 hours, and no specific issues occurred. The 2nd session was a week later. About 30 minutes in, she noticed the ART didn't work as she expected, and her comment about the failure was due to my "language barrier," which I strongly disagree with. Even English is not my first language, I passed 2 most difficult bar exams in the States, and I've been practicing law for the past 12 years in California. Jacqui's instructions are nothing compared to the judges' instructions I have to follow for my work. Jacqui's instruction was basically "imagine your emotions being washed away by a waterfall," something simple and similar to this. However, she told me not only once during this session that the failure is because of the language barrier. She made me feel absolutely terrible, and I had to cut short the session. Eventually, Jacqui admitted that ART doesn't work for everyone but emphasized again my language barrier. We are all vulnerable already when seeking help from a therapist. Now Jacqui makes me feel even worse as this ART doesn't work mainly because of my "language barrier." If Jacqui evaluated that my language barrier is a concern or issue for this ART, she should've noticed it at the first consultation and stopped it, rather than continuing scheduling and charging me $180 per hour for the following sessions.

I called Kaiser in Richmond to talk to Emily Schiller 510-3071640. The complaint was regarding Michael Zittel . I interviewed him and called him to talk and help my daughter in terms of marriage. She was in a relationship that didnt work out well.dont give up. It has effected her job and personality.Michael said to put what happened on his recording he would go over it with her. Michael wasnt being honest. He told a lie , he gets you to sign up with him and after you sign up he puts a restriction on marriage and her job. Re- striction means you cannot talk about marriage or her job. What kind of a therapist are you, Basically he is a liar and a cheat. He didnt cover any of the topics that I left on his recording. I tried emailing him because he wouldnt take my calls. Very rude person, he had an attitude. I tried since January 23 to call making a complaint to Emily Schiller 510-3071640 she doesnt call back. She works for Kaiser. I tried calling the Board of Behavioral Sciences they handle complaints regarding licensed marriage therapists. For 7 weeks I tried the number is 916-574-7830, No one calls back, I gave up. I tried finding a therapist closer to where my daughter lives .Michael Zittels office is in South Pasadena . The number is 626-240-1439 .If you need a therapist in the Bay area you still would go thru Psychology Today, it goes by location . Dont use that website, No one calls back if you make a complaint. I interviewed Carolyn Wong and Noelle Wittliff, They are marriage therapists. Carolyn Wong wanted $150 an hour. She was rude and Noelle Wittliff wanted $200 an hour. I tried calling her but we played phone tag. I gave up, dont use Psychology Today to find a therapist thru Kaiser. You are wasting your time and money.Michael Zittel is a liar and cheat. No one monitors that website so the therapists can get away with it. Michael is not a marriage and family therapist. He didnt do his job. He should be taken off the website. His homework was boring and useless. What a waste of time and money. P, S. Please dont put my name on since my daughter is involved. Is there another website that you can go on to let people know not to use Psychology Today. Thanks
