I have been using Ms. Santos for a parenting matter for about six months and have been very pleased…read morewith her service. It's important to remember that discussions surrounding broken families can often be very tense. Indeed when I first met with Ms. Santos, I wasn't sure we would work that well together (she didn't even recognize me as the Yelp Duke of Little Caesers...). However, the more we directed our focus on children's best interests, the more effective I have found her to be. Ms. Santos has been doing this for a long time and is well-respected in the family court system of Sonoma and Marin. I now fully consider her to be a reliable "compass" for navigating optimal parenting paths. She is not shy about letting me know if she does not agree with something, and I've been grateful for her feedback. Ms. Santos is also a solid listener and asks insightful questions. In my situation, she's shown exceptional patience, especially when trying to absorb all matters in a complicated situation. If your children are facing some tough times, I would definitely recommend you consider using her. My only complaint is that her website lacks a patient intake form. She will be the first to playfully admit she's not tech-savvy but this is a "must have" for a therapist these days (especially with the C19 situation). I'll keep pestering her about it. Lastly, I know that people searching for family therapists are probably going through some tough times. For what it's worth, things can get better. Good luck.

She will report her personal opinions to the court as facts. Hands down the worst therapeutical experience I've ever had. Beware her bias and unchecked power over your child's future. 3 years later, I still have not achieved any additional time with my child despite jumping through any and all hoops provided. Her personal impression of you will dictate your child's future for decades to come.

I was seeking help from a very traumatic car accident and the loss of a loved one. Since my issues…read moreare stemming from the accident and that became apparent after my first session I was told that they would not be willing to support me if I ended up needing legal help. Apparently this is in the fine print of the agreement I signed at my first session. It is extremely hard for me to reach out to a therapist and begin therapy in the first place. I feel even more stressed and depressed after opening up to them and finding out at the end of my session and $150.00 later that they would recommend I find another therapist that would be more willing to help in a situation like mine. I have since spoken with a few therapists and I now ask ahead of time if this would be an issue. I have been told that it is highly unusual for a therapist to take this stand. Unfortunately I did really like Claudia and wish I could have kept working with her. I didn't know this was something I even needed to ask about. I was really very surprised when Claudia brought it up towards end of my very emotional session. I should have read all the fine print in their agreement before the session began but I had no idea this would something I needed to inquire about. I know now. I hope this review helps someone going through a similar situation. It is even more upsetting because when I made the appointment on our phone interview I told her what had happened and why I was seeking therapy. I could of course continue therapy but that they would not be willing to help if I needed them to share my records or speak with legal counsel. I am paying for this myself as they didn't take my insurance, I don't feel like this practice cared about me as a person and was just looking for more cut and dry clients. I am having a very rough time of it and disappointed I had this experience and even started with them.

Ben provided me with the tools to figure it out on my own teaching me perseverance was my middle name with resiliency in my rear view. I have been learning to show myself care, and learning to cut myself some slack. I have been learning to let life unfold and not play the puppet master so much. I have taken myself out on countless solo dates and adventures getting to know the goddess of my heart. The tools Ben taught me, gave me permission to explore myself experiencing life on human terms. He helped me take a deeper look at myself, and see why I seemed to care so deeply about the judgment of others. He helped me let that go, and I continue to let my ego go as often as I become aware. He showed me how to heal. I think of our sessions often and think to myself, "what would Ben say, or have me do to let the energy be there, and process it." He showed me how to work on my shadow allowing all she is, to just be. Ben has helped teach me to live life on life's terms. I used to think I'm in control of my surroundings where somehow expectations always seemed to disappoint. He guided me to find solace in my breath, to allow my emotions to be present without judgment, and gave me permission to follow my bliss where I can find inner peace. I will forever appreciate his help and guidance while his energy has stuck with me all this time in continuing to do the work. I feel as though once we turn the pages in our lives, we rarely find the time or energy to express our appreciation to those who made a difference, and this is me flexing my vulnerability as Ben made a huge impact on my life. Thank you. Thank you from my whole heart. Thank you for choosing this line of work; it truly is transformational!
