I have always valued her clinical opinion and experience as thoughtful, knowledgeable, as well as professionally and ethically bound.

Dr. Bronson was an excellent professor, demonstrating competence and knowledge subject matter for both courses. She provided instruction from the textbook, guest lecturers, in-class small group discussion, in-class projects and projects out of class and provided a well rounded experience. Years after my classroom experience with Dr. Bronson, I attended a Mindfulness workshop she facilitated. The workshop was transformative- she provided attendees with research based information along with demonstrations of Mindfulness practices. I attended a refresher workshop facilitated by Dr. Bronson a few years later and brought two friends I felt could benefit from the workshop. I highly recommend Dr. Kris Bronson based on my experience as one of her students and someone who gained a transformative experience from her Mindfulness workshops.

Rather than other CSA (community supported acupuncture) clinic's practice of the 5 minute chat, and then generally hitting some of the usual points, she will talk to you throughout the process, finding the exact points that have an impact on your problem. If I could give her 6 stars, I would. I recommend Laura to anyone who's nervous about acupuncture as well. Her chipper mood and demeanor make you feel like you can tell her anything -- very important if you need to talk about any old issues/injuries that might be uncomfortable to talk about with a stranger. Add to this that her location is so ridiculously convenient, and you've found your acupuncturist. She has 'open room' days (shared acupuncture room with other people who are generally asleep or otherwise don't bother you if you don't bother them) as well as a private practice. I can't recommend her enough.

The very first time I visited Laura at Open City, I realized she had the absolute best tableside manner that I've ever encountered. She genuinely cares about her patients and their wellbeing.

The space is quiet and comfortable, easy to access, but most importantly, the treatment is effective coupled with top notch, friendly service. You can't go wrong here.

There is no way to accurately describe how wonderful Dr. Cohen is and how she has helped us. She is…read morean 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. If you read nothing else in this review, please understand this - Dr. Cohen is THE reason I am still married today. Now, if you have stayed around for the rest of the story, here it goes. My wife and I have been married 20 years and have hot a very rough patch for the last few years. In my ignorance, I was just chugging along thinking everything was fine in life while my wife was suffering alone. I just chalked up her outbursts and "resting bitch voice" to hormones, or emotions, or just plain evilness (you name it and I assigned it as a reason for her being at fault). Our life had become one of casual interaction. A constant cycle of valleys and peaks where I just tried to get from one argument to the next with some happiness sprinkled in where I could find it. I never realized that I was emotionally neglecting my wife and that her actions were a cry for my attention rather than just nagging at me. I spent so much time seeking praise for my cooking, cleaning and laundry skills that I neglected the most important thing in my life - her. After the cycle finally erupted in "The Big One" last fall, it became apparent we needed outside help. My wife had heard of the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) method of marriage counseling and wanted to specifically seek out a therapist that specialized in that technique. After searching through lists upon lists of names, we settled on Dr. Cohen. And since that first meeting in January, our lives and our perceptions have changed. She provided a warm, inviting setting and put us both at ease from the start. She is patient with us when we have trouble expressing what we are feeling inside. She celebrates our successes and helps us get back on track after any stumbles. Her level of caring and professionalism is above reproach. She was especially helpful when we had a major bump in the road recently as she squeezed me in on short-notice and helped me walk-through an incident that had occurred and threatened to derail our progress. She led me down the path of "guided discovery" to allow me to see how I could have better approached the situation and to see it from my wife's perspective. I cannot imagine having anyone else helping us rediscover our love for each other and teaching me specifically that we all deserve more in life than just "fine" and how to reach new heights in our relationship. Without a doubt, she has brought our marriage from the brink of divorce to a stable platform where my wife and I both feel real change has occurred. Arguments and distrust have become the exception instead of the norm, and no more words (if I only had a nickel for every time I said I'm sorry without really meaning it) and empty promises to try harder next time, but real change that you can see and feel. I will be the first to admit that I thought therapy and counseling was a waste of money and just a bunch of touchy, feely, uncomfortable conversations about "daddy issues" - boy was I wrong. I look forward to our meetings every other week. My wife and I have learned what we are really saying and meaning underneath our defenses. We have learned how to approach conversations and situations in ways that result in productive, honest conversations instead of immediate arguments. And as a bonus, the things she has taught us have not only strengthened our relationship but the one with our daughters as well. We highly recommend her to all of our family and friends...she is the absolute best in our book and if she can get make me admit I have feelings than she can work wonders with anyone!

Dr Perilstein is a life saver!…read more 6 months ago I began seeing her during a very difficult time in my life. Quite frankly I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel... I didn't have a day without crippling anxiety and it drive me to depression. Doctor Perilstein, with a large dose on genuine care and a small dose of comedy, began treating me. She quickly began focusing on cognitive behavioral therapy as a means to train myself on how to be "my old happy self" again. At this point, I have reduced my anxiety med intake to almost nothing and wake up knowing the day will be great rather than dreading opening my eyes I will end the review the way I started it... Dr Perilstein is quite literally a life saver!

TLDR- it's fantastic…read more This is a long review... I have been to many therapists for trauma work but no practice has helped me the way Therapy for Women has. I broke up all the reasons I think Therapy for Women is amazing below. The values: This practice is based on mutual trust. You're therapist will happily share bits of their own life experiences. This always makes me feel less alone in what I am experiencing. Additionally, the open conversations make sessions comfortable/feel less like a doctors appointment. Therapy for Women also makes a point to let you know that you can switch therapists at anytime. Besides therapy won't be effective if you aren't comfortable with who you are talking too. In the office: The atmosphere is calming and quiet. Therapists have white noise machines at their door so your conversations will never be heard by someone passing by. If you are finding it hard to share something most therapists have art supplies, cards, fidget toys or board games that you are able to play during the session. The sessions are flexible and can be tailored to what you need. This is especially great for people like me with ADHD. The online portal: This might not be something many people think is important but the online portal is so simple. The rules, expectations, and prices for the practice are shared openly once you become a client so there is transparency. If you are ever confused about something or wondering about your last bill it is easy to look up past records and chat with your therapist directly. Price: Therapy for Women does not accept insurance (this is my understanding/ I'm not sure if there are specific exceptions). Sessions are relatively expensive since insurance doesn't cover the cost. However, Jen is a therapist I could stick with for years and I feel it is completely worth the extra cost. Over all: I really think this practice is something special and I am SO happy I found it when I did.
