I was extremely sick and my brain was in constant fight/flight unable to sleep , eat, or function. Her qEEG Neurofeedback sessions slowly quieted down my brain's response to these toxins and as soon as we were able to confirm a toxic mold issue in our apartment complex which made every tenant sick at that time, we also moved. Candia's treatments helped me slowly regain my brain function and I was able to return to work. I'm forever grateful for her slow, gentle, and careful approach in treating a highly sensitive patient.

She is a…read morebeautifully present, calm and attentive being; I didn't feel rushed or judged when I opened up to her. She listened carefully & deeply with what I presented to her, to what I was saying *behind my words* to connect with what would benefit me most in session. I felt very safe as she then softly held my head in her hands during the experience in a supportive way, which enabled me to let go further into the deeper states of my consciousnesses. She fully honored my journey by really taking her time helping me to visualize the journey and places I wished to explore and open up within myself.. I felt and saw things I never experienced before in Hypnosis which ended with a full blown "cosmic explosion" of information from my higher self beyond expectations. After having this deep emotional and spiritual release, I still feel it, days later now, very open and raw, in tears often - like fresh new cleansing water flowing through my solar plexus/heart area, the calm after the storm.. I feel the aftermath from nothing less than a truly blissful *enlightenment* most only hope to catch a glimpse of.. I still can't put words to it fully, will take time to process, but know I would not of been able to of gone that far with just anyone. Sylvia is a most talented, gifted healer and I can't recommend her enough. The wisdom that surfaced from that one session will serve me well for eternity. If you are truly seeking to break through boundaries in your life, seeking wisdom and truth for your path, become more fully in alignment with your higher self and life's purpose and need a witness/guide to bring you to that place where the answers you seek are awaiting to be explored deep inside yourself, Sylvia is more than skilled at helping you to achieve this. Thank you Sylvia! ~~*~~

When my mental health was at its lowest, she was patient, caring , and helpful. On days I want to vent, she lets me vent, on days I want homework to help with goals, she works with me that way. She is so dedicated to therapy and learning different types of methods to helping everyone and Im just so grateful to get to work with her. If you are ready to start your therapy journey and are ready to deep dive into becoming a better person, she's the best. Even during the hardest breakthroughs, the ones that felt the worse, her guidance made it feel not nearly as bad as it did in the past when I was handling everything alone. I'm becoming the person I've always wanted to be and a lot of that is credited to Sarah Lincoln. I can only speak for my self, but if I were you, I was looking for therapy (and we don't know each other personally due to conflict of interest) I would absolutely reach out and check her availability.

Dear Yelp World,…read more Mey is not my first go-around with therapists and I had a reasonable foundation for processing trauma before visiting her - so my expectations were fairly specific. If you are looking for a therapist who doesn't just talk about healing but actually helps your brain and body rewire itself, look no further. Working with Mey has been a transformative experience. She understands that's therapy is not magic. It is hard work. Some days I leave feeling lighter/clearer; other days I leave feeling as though I've spent three rounds at war with my past. The difference is that, over time, I realized I was no longer fighting alone and finally had someone in my corner who would help clear the illusions and understand the truth, and simultaneously, heal. My childhood was a collection of nightmares in a haunted house on "Kildare Lane." No Joke. How fortunate I was to find Mey, who offered to guide me through it all and help me unite with my inner child. Next, I've lived for years with my nervous system stuck in in survival mode - fight/flight/freeze. Mey's expertise in modalities like EMDR, LENS and Lifespan Integration has completely changed the game for me. Mey has a great balance of scientific knowledge, intuition, combined with an ability to provide real compassion to every session. I feel heard, supported, and most importantly, I feel safe expressing things I would otherwise keep secret as much of the trauma I experienced is rather inhumane and overwhelming. There's is no judgement or embarrassment attached to putting my suffering into words. Many therapists are highly good and capable of working within clinical frameworks. But it takes something more to become a true healer - it takes someone who understands that the wounds of childhood can linger across a lifetime, combined with a deep understanding that the human condition can sometimes be a catastrophe. Mey gets it. After one year, what has become very clear to me, is that there were many sessions I walked in convinced I had everything figured out, only to leave realizing I'd been believing an engineered story of false truths and confidence, not competence - for half a century. The changes over the past year have been profound. I think more clearly. I react with greater intention; my blood pressure has decreased along with my chronic neck pain. Who knew? In fact, I have explored the idea of inviting conflict and disagreement into my life just so I can appreciate how well I cope with it. If you do the work, show up honestly, expose yourself, and are willing to face the difficult places most people spend their lives avoiding, May will dive right into the shadow darkness and guide you to something irreplaceable - peace. Then she will reward you with something truly special - her smile. It is something to behold. Just notice....

She is truly one of the most intelligent people I know, and is a gifted educator and supervisor/consultant. I have visited her seminars, and have been impressed by the relationships developed with her students. She was kind enough to help me with curriculum development around harm reduction issues, and has often passed on interesting readings and useful resources. She is dedicated to the profession in a way that few therapists are. She is also a fantastic mentor, especially if you are looking to learn nuanced ways of looking at clinical material. Dr. Addison is also a tireless advocate for others (queer people, people of color, kinky/poly people) and has her finger on the pulse of the most current size-positive political movements of the day. I would heartily recommend her if you are looking for someone with immense sensitivity and cultural humility.

Her professionalism is inspirational. She is up to date on her field and it's obvious that she is highly respected in the mental health community. She gets results like no other therapist I've ever heard of and while handling some very difficult cases. You can sense her commitment to excellence. I have never spoken with anyone who had such a consistently high level of insight and the ability to deliver those insights directly and tactfully. I have even been somewhat hesitant to leave a review because her schedule is already very full although that never seemed to get in the way of her ability to give personalized attention. I'm not sure how she does so much. No therapist is smarter, no therapist communicates better, and no therapist works harder. I'm so happy I found her.

And on top of that, I also happen to be a health care practitioner myself. This means, for the purposes of a review, that when I walk into a new Doctor's office, there is an additional dimension of critiquing for me to process. I would never willingly put myself under the guidance and care of a Doctor who did not 1) Impress me as a capable and honest caregiveer and 2) Impress me as a professional colleague. - EMPATHY - KNOWLEDGE - PROFESSIONALISM - RESPECT I think that these are the basic bulletpoints that strike me when I consider why I think so highly of Patricia. Dr. Zurita takes NOTHING more seriously than the pursuit of her profession. Except possibly you, the patient. When under her care, you will be able to sense that to her, learning about human dysfunction and subsequently helping people with this knowledge, are what drives every fiber of her being. Some therapists really care. Other therapists are extremely knowledgeable. Very few therapists are both. Patricia Zurita Ona is one of those very few.

I have found her to be very supportive, non-judgmental, caring, compassionate, very very smart and extremely tuned into me and my issues. I have had therapy with others in the past and the treatment I received from them paled in comparison to what I get from Dr. GB. If you are wresting with any issues, especially cross dressing or gender issues, I cannot recommend Dr. Goldberg-Boltz enough.
