The therapist told us on the first day that she didn't care if we stayed married. Even though we…read moretold her that was our goal. A therapist should help you achieve your goals and at no point did she make an effort to help us work towards that. She also lied and told me one thing and then in a separate session with my husband told him something else. She was also trying to see myself and my husband individually outside of our marriage counseling which I have had confirmed from other psychologists that doing so is incredibly unethical. So I suppose if you want an unethical therapist that doesn't care about your goals and lies, then Melissa is the therapist for you

It's easy to open up to her and have sincere conversations throughout our sessions. Thanks Jane for helping us in our marriage journey! We are forever grateful for your help!

Highly recommend!…read more We have been going to her for over six months. What I appreciate is that she gives a safe space to work through areas where we didn't communicate effectively before. Her process is challenging, thought provoking and insightful and I leave with a better understanding of myself and my partner. The sessions are directed by us, so if we need to use our time to focus on issues that recently came up, we can work and talk about them. Especially now, as we are unexpectedly placed in this stay at home order, find her service invaluable and "essential" for quarantine living. Our zoom sessions can be even more productive as we can connect with her while being at home, where it can be easier to relax and open up. A lot of people have a specialist nowadays for all the different aspects in their lives but they often neglect one of the most important ones - their relationship. She is our relationship specialist.

WARNING: AZIZEH WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE. Do not seek therapy from Azizeh. She is harsh, unprofessional…read moreand offers extreme measures that will destroy your life and your relationships with the ones who matter to you the most, your loved ones: your kids and family. I have been living through an absolute nightmare after trusting her and following her advice thinking she is the professional and expert. She has been the worst mistake ever. I should have known when she said: "go back to the village", and I should have know when during our paid therapy sessions she would make personal calls, walk around her home drinking and eating, answering her door to greet guest and cooking. We never had a serious, quiet real therapy session focused just on me, the patient. She would yell at me and put me down. There is no compassion, warmth or empathy in this therapist. in her own words: " you will write a bad review". So many red flags I ignored because I was suffering and was in pain. Please look elsewhere if you want real help from a real therapist who actually takes the time to understand and care for your wounds and what you are going through. She does not. This is my first yelp review ever! I hope you read this Azizeh and I hope you reflect on the care you did not give me. You told me to call the cops on my child - which destroyed my relationship completely and forever with him and fractured his relationship with his siblings. Azizeh, you need to read this and understand the consequences of me being under you care. You are not fit to provide care for those who desperately reach out to you for help. You made matters worse. I came to you to feel safe and heard not to mentally beaten and battered even more. You are cruel hearted and you know it. You should not be allowed to practice healing people. You must reflect on yourself now on the irreparable damage you cost to the ones who paid you to help them heal and learn how to move on after trauma and grief. That's not what you did - you gave me a grenade to throw at my family. No one should seek your advice. If anyone else is having the same experience or similar run, turn around and run as fast as you can. Go to a therapist that provides actual mental health care and not one that makes you more mental. Better yet, just don't even start here.

I began meeting with Genevieve in October 2020 for an individual therapy session. She has been…read moregreat in helping me deal with my lack of self-confidence and struggles of being a mom of 2 young toddlers. She has helped me grow and mature in my marriage and has given me various tools and resources to achieve effective communication with my husband. Genevieve is incredibly empathetic, kind, warm, and accommodating. She is flexible when it comes to scheduling and very responsive to emails and phone calls. She saved my mental health during COVID and I cannot thank her enough! I highly recommend Genevieve Altwer as she is simply amazing. A professional therapist who puts her clients first, makes them feel heard and understood, and provides incredible customer service to all her clients. Thank you, Genevieve!

This is a long overdue endorsement of Genevieve Altwer, LMFT. I have been a client of hers for 3…read moreyears now and it has made all the difference in my life. I often thank her for saving me and she is always quick to reply, "Mark, you are the one that has done the work". Although this may be true, she has been my guide to do the "right" work so that ultimately I could process life's struggles in a better way and find the peace and grace inside my being that I always wanted. I have been a firefighter for 18 years and I have seen a lot of tragedy in that time. Prior to becoming a licensed therapist, Genny served in law enforcement for 13 years. Knowing this fact about her immediately garnered my attention because I knew she understood the realities of my occupation. I had seen a number of therapists prior but just never felt that rapport I had with Genny from our very first phone conversation. It was natural, organic and without pressure. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I really did not want to start up with therapy again but knew I needed to ask for help. I believe that me finding her was not by accident, just as I believe that you reading this endorsement is not coincidental. She may not be the right therapist for you, but then again, maybe she is the one. For me, I reached out to her to simply assist me with PTSD related to 911 calls I had experienced. And we have definitely tended to those incidents and the trauma. But what I came to discover was that I had a lot of layers to uncover and work on in my own personal life. That has made all the difference. There has never been any pressure to talk about any specific facets of my life. I tell my story and she guides me through to help present perspective so that I may find the solution. You cannot control your environment and the people in it many times. But you can choose to reach out for help, put the work into you and ultimately find yourself in a better state of grace despite all that life throws our way. My hope is that by sharing my story and work with Genevieve Altwer, LMFT, it can help save one life. If it does, then it will have been worth it. Take care of you. Mark.

Albert is an active listener who not only offers solutions, but he also is not afraid to challenge nor hold you accountable, respectfully.

I highly recommend Albert if you are looking to take the steps to grow as an indiviudal and/or with help to get you through difficult times in your life. I highly recommend Albert!

Her approach works for me. I have seen several LMFTs and she is good at this - gets me to think and open about issues and find resolutions. I am happy with her style of therapy.
