last summer my husband and I were referred to Dr. Smith by our pediatrician. This experience was…read morescary-- she's a professional? ? Nothing from her demeanor to her expertise was professional. Her assignment was to help us identify any learning deficits or maturity issues. Instead she reported that our then seven year old would not amount to much and to have very low expectations of her. This child was a bright and vibrant child who was not on the autistic spectrum or any other behavioral/emotional spectrum. We also had billing problems with her. Please take heed if thinking of using her. And probably to Dr. Smith's chagrin my daughter is doing well and earned Student of the Month!!

She is an incredibly insightful & perspective therapist…read more This past Saturday, I attended Alexis 4hr Experimental Workshop for Women finding where our success and happiness intersect called Identity Maintenace with Alexis Maron. I attended this workshop already in a healthy relationship, family, state of mind and place in my life. My goal was to overcome my fear to move forward on a goal I set 4 years ago. I have accomplished so many other goals but this particular goal, I've taken many courses to help me move forward in the past but I just couldn't understand why I was struggling. Within this short 4 hours, WOW, did I find out WHY. I am beyond thankful for Alexis teachings, the WHOLE course was mind-blowing in a positive way. The best part was, I've learned more about myself without her really saying anything. It was her creative games that helped us all, including the ladies who attended (which I would like to add, we all connected so beautifully), for whatever purpose brought us there, find our breakthrough to move forward. My message to anyone reading this: I've been through ALOT in life, since I was 5 years old. Investing in yourself is one of the best return on investments you can make. It goes back to the idea that if you give yourself first, you'll have more available to others. Note: Alexis has helped my 19 year old son as well, overcome his struggles with life. Now, he hires her for Life Coaching, which I am so very thankful for.

A few words to describe Alexis would be genuine, compassionate, observant, intelligent, and funny…read more Alexis has been my counselor and life coach and on off for a few years and I can't say enough wonderful things about her. Most importantly though is her genuine desire to help. Unlike other therapists I have seen, Alexis is fully engaged and present in our sessions unlike anyone else. She makes you feel like you are her only client and she is there to truly help you in your evolution of growth and change as person. Because of her I am able to see life's challenges and demands in new ways that I never would have seen before. And finally, Alexis is not only a great therapist and listener but she enables you with your own set of tools to be able to face life's challenges head on, which to me is the sign of a great therapist! I am forever grateful for what she has done for me!

Dr. Andrea has truly been the best thing for my husband and me. We've been seeing her for nearly…read moretwo years, and the impact she's had on our lives is immeasurable. She has helped me improve my communication skills and taught me de-stress breathing techniques, among so many other valuable tools.

I'm extremely grateful for her and so happy to have her guiding us through this journey.

EMDR has helped me process and release deep-seated traumas that once felt insurmountable. It enabled me to revisit painful memories with a sense of safety and to reframe my narrative in a way that empowered me. Somatic Experiencing allowed me to reconnect with my body, releasing stored tension and fostering a renewed sense of grounding and vitality. I felt supported, respected, and guided in a way that honored my unique journey. An IFS approach has allowed me to explore and heal parts of myself I didn't even realize were influencing my thoughts and behaviors. The sessions were all tailored to my needs, and the integration of approaches worked beautifully together, creating a holistic healing experience that addressed my mind, body, and spirit. The transformation I've undergone is evident not only to me but also to those around me. I feel lighter, more present, and more in tune with myself. Anxiety and fear that once controlled my life have significantly diminished, replaced by confidence, peace, and resilience. I've gained tools to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and grace. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to explore these therapies with Andrea and would highly recommend them and her to anyone seeking healing and personal growth.

This review has been a long time coming. I was given Dr. Gallagher's name as a potential…read morePsychologist to help me work through childhood trauma. I was told, "Dr. Gallagher makes you see things differently...The Bigger Picture." In my experience, Dr. Gallagher was brilliant. She taught me about the brain and the effect that abuse and neglect has on it. I'm a visual person so this makes sense to me. She let me know that we can change the way the brain responds to stimuli(speaking only for my case.) I was dealing with a lifetime of anxiety, ptsd and depression that was becoming unmanageable on my own. Dr. Gallagher helped me to save my own life. Every persons experience and case is different, so I can only speak to my experience with "Dr. G and Luna." I can honestly say that had I not crossed paths with Dr. Gallagher, I might not be here to write this review. So, thank you Dr. G and Luna! Andrea

She gave me the tools I needed to keep my anxiety in check and move beyond the crippling impact of constant anxiousness. I would highly recommend Dr. Gallagher to anyone suffering from anxiety who wants to put the work in to overcome their issues. I have seen a few comments regarding insurance and fees. My insurance did not pay for my treatment. Dr. Gallagher's help was worth every penny and a bargain. I would have paid anything to move beyond my anxiousness.

Hillary is amazing!! I was a mess when I started seeing her. She's taken me from being too panicked…read moreand anxiety ridden to enjoy Disneyland with the crowds to maybe 1-2 bad days a month. She's solution focused so you don't do the whole talk about your past and your feelings cliche. You talk about what's on your mind that week. She finds out we're you want to be and where you are now and gently (or not so gently when you need a bigger push) gets you there. In just a few months I've gone from major anxiety issues to a better job, and I've been performing and auditioning and actually getting closer to living my dreams. On top of that, she's available when you need her! She's highly responsive to emails and her schedule is flexible for appointments. 1 - hate, avoid 2 - bored, don't bother 3 - liked while there but won't leave lasting impression, unlikely to remember 4 - love and recommend 5 - law of diminishing returns doesn't apply

I came into the process of therapy very guarded and unsure as someone who never really opened up to…read moreanyone even those closest to me. Luckily I found Nicole combined with the strength to tackle the most difficult situation I have had to face including parts of myself I needed to work on and process. To simply say Nicole is a great listener or a great therapist would be a disservice to her. Of course she is both of those things but more importantly she is so much more. She understands when to push you (I needed that!), when to guide you, when to comfort you and all the while you are processing something and growing from it without even realizing it. After just a few months I found myself talking to her as if we had known each other forever. from the beginning her goal was to graduate me with the tools to be successful and thrive on my own, I can say that in a short window of time we accomplished that and then some. I can't thank her enough for reconnecting me....with me. I have only ever had this one experience with a therapist, but my measure is one simple fact, whenever I face something now I vividly hear Nicole encouraging me or guiding me with the lessons we reviewed together. I always have little Nicole on my shoulder guiding me through difficult things - what more can you ask for.

My experience with Nicole was really positive. She created a non-judgmental and safe environment…read morewhere I felt comfortable exploring the issues I was facing. She always asked thoughtful questions, gave realistic homework to work on between sessions, and genuinely inspired me to want to change and move forward. One thing to note is that Nicole isn't the type of therapist who just sits and listens. She offers her opinions and advice, which I haven't seen many therapists do. Sometimes those are hard truths, but nearly every time she turned out to be right. Her approach, which is grounded in research and data, properly framed our discussions and helped me face issues with confidence. If you're ready to put in the hard work, I highly recommend seeing Nicole. You won't be disappointed!

From the moment I first called to the day of my initial appointment, the staff was warm, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable asking for help. Therapy was difficult at first because I had never really talked openly about what I was going through. However, with time and the support of my therapist, I began to understand myself better and recognize some of the patterns contributing to my anxiety. I gained valuable insight and learned practical coping skills that helped me manage stress, improve my relationships, and feel more confident navigating the challenges of college and adulthood. The things I learned at Daybreak have continued to help me for many years. I am grateful for the care and support I received and would highly recommend Daybreak to anyone considering therapy.
