Jessica is not my first therapist, so I can say from experience that she is the best that there is!…read more An abusive family situation and boyfriends to follow are what put me in therapy in the first place. Jessica has helped me create strategies for dealing with stress at home and at work, improving my self-confidence, and building a successful relationship. She is supportive and is great at not only hearing what you're saying, but hearing what you may not realize you're saying. I would highly recommend her (and I have) to anyone who has experienced childhood trauma, has self-esteem issues, or who is ready to make a big change in the way they view themselves and the world. I am a completely different person because of her help.

I have been seeing Kyle as a Therapist off and on for about 25 years (wow, hard to believe!)... I…read morefirst saw her when I graduated college and then here and there as things have come up in life that needed tending to. At one point I was living in Plymouth but I would still drive to Cambridge to have a visit or two with her. I have always found Kyle to be very insightful and sincerely very caring, always leaving me with the feeling that I am glad she is my therapist and have made that connection with her. I have even gone for long gaps of not seeing her, sometimes as long as 10 years and the amazing thing is, when we've gotten together again, its like I saw her yesterday and I am always amazed at the things that she remembers, even the small things. I had an instance a few years ago where I had to get some help for a relative and a call to Kyle was the first one I made and she gave me the names of people to get in touch with to get my relative the help they needed. I can't say enough good things about her.

I guess I could say I was stuck with certain beliefs and there was no way to change them…read more For example, one of my many beliefs was that my wife had to read Shakespeare (no kidding), or else we had nothing in common. Moreover, it was equally important that our daughters had to go out with guys that knew Shakespeare by heart (What a hypocrite - I certainly don't, but that's beside the point. Just how crazy was I? Without judgement, without giving me a lot of advice, without interpreting me with "valuable insights", Valery helped those beliefs relax. Turns out that the part of me that thought not getting Shakespeare disqualified a person from the human didn't truly believe it. But it thought it was doing something good for me, keeping me safe from the local thugs in the neighborhood, setting me apart among the peaceful intellectual types, but that was long, long ago. Ultimately, with Valery's help, I learned to appreciate that part and ultimately let it go to do something else. How pleasant family life has become without all my beliefs stirring everyone up. P.S. She has two offices: one in Harvard Square and one in Lexington, MA. She doesn't take insurance.

Working with Dr…read more Frank gave me my life back and enabled me to create a future I was not able to imagine when I began working with her. I came to Dr. Frank years ago, in the midst of crisis which was preventing me from being present in my own life.
