I have PCOS and had a low supply and tongue tie with my first and wanted to get baby checked out right away so we could do what we needed to help milk production. Rosemary was amazing and came right away and helped me navigate all the things related to breastfeeding and feeding my baby. I felt heard and very well cared for in those beginning days when you are so vulnerable. We had a follow up today and she reassured me that I'm doing everything and heading in the right direction. She was really there to listen to what I had to say and my concerns and gave the advice that I needed to feel confident and keep moving forward. So thankful for Rosemary and Bridgetown baby for the much needed support.

We were lucky enough to work with Katrina who from the very first meeting, was incredibly kind, patient, and supportive. She created a comfortable, judgment-free space where I felt heard and understood. What I appreciated most was her collaborative approach. She really took the time to listen to our concerns, answer questions thoroughly, and work together to find solutions that felt right for our family. Her guidance was practical, encouraging, and tailored to our specific situation. I'm truly grateful for her expertise and compassion, and I would highly recommend her to any family looking for knowledgeable and caring lactation support.

Over the past 10 years Tracey has been so helpful for my son by teaching me how to handle difficult…read morebehaviors, so that he had more engaged and understanding parents. I went back during my divorce, when I really needed perspective, to raise my kids without having a more stressful divorce than one naturally is. This was so good for them and me. My current partner and I still have sessions now and then while blending a family. Tracey is an expert in exactly what she says she is on her website, and I would recommend her to anyone needing parenting interventions now or if you'd just like parenting to be more enjoyable for the whole family instead of a struggle. If you need more immediate crisis care there is a crisis line 988 nationally. Or you can google your county crisis lines. They are all listed on the National Alliance for Mental Illness as well. There are a few crisis walk in clinics in PDX, like via Cascadia. Tracey will help you with any hard subject, and I appreciate how boundaries are taught and kept very professionally. I've seen a ton of different providers over the years due to insurance changes, but I will always go back to Practical Parenting PDX for proven interventions and help to make parenting more fun.

After my son's two suicide attempts this year i found myself needing someone to talk to because of…read morethe anxiety of the ordeal and its impacts on my life and my family. I found this therapist on Yelp and being on Yelp, I called the number listed. She answered and was rude because apparently there's a portal system she uses to screen her clients which I didn't know about because I found her on Yelp. She was on speaker phone while my wife was with me and my wife noticed this from her as well that this was a particularly unpleasant way to go about any business, let alone mental health because nobody calling her number is having a good day But I try and I book the appointment anyway through the site before leaving town for five days for memorial day weekend. I came back last night and opened my email today to look for the link that was provided and found an email from yesterday that I'd not filled out the intake questionnaire and that it had to be filled out "before the appointment" as per the email. I then take the time to do so despite the fact that any day back from a vacation is going to be very busy and today was no exception but I did make the effort. Come the appointed time and again, juggling several things, I couldn't find the link and so I emailed tu get another one then immediately found it and logged on. I'm sitting there waiting for my appointment when I get an email from her and quickly respond without reading that I was waiting for the appointment in the video conference chat. And after waiting a few more minutes I go back to the email and see that apparently I had to have that done by 5pm the day before (which was not previously mentioned and also was when I was still driving back into town,) and so I needed to reschedule. And, annoyed at this perfunctory screening process and her tone and attitude at this point, I give it one last shot. Tonight I get an email saying that she'd been communicating so the to me clearly (again, she wasn't at any point clear on this overwrought process,) and because I wasn't listening to her directions (that she didn't give,) I "wouldn't be a good fit." I'm dumbfounded and I'm appalled. At the very least, if her business is going to be conducted through her website in a way where she is going to deny people who are coming to her for help, then these such stringent directions really need to be on there or at least on her page in Yelp but first and absolutely foremost, YOU'RE IN THE MENTAL HEALTH FIELD LADY, if you are in such a state of burnout that you can't muster a simple civil tone with people who are coming to you for help, then you need to find another career. Those directions weren't clear at any point. Her screening process is an unnecessary mess and needs an overhaul. Most inexcusable, her attitude is judgmental and condescending and for her to turn around and blame someone coming to her help for her messy business intake practices then that's just gaslighting and abusive. So she don't deserve to have any clients and I am taking the time to put this on a public forum because I dread anyone who comes to her at a point like where my son found himself, hanging by a thread and looking for help, to be treated like this by someone who trained for years to know better. My undergraduate degree was in psychotherapy and the reason I didn't pursue it was the burnout rate but having been in the boards of a couple of treatment centers in my old life, I know what that looks lilt in earnest. I can smell it. But so help me God, the only other time I've heard or seen of a therapist with this much animosity towards clients or potential clients was Richard Dreyfuss' character in What About Bob and that was a fictional character written as an indictment against the entire field of psychotherapy. And probably because of therapists just like this one. I dread for anyone who comes to this woman for help. She makes the whole field look bad.

If I could give Lisa zero stars I would but since that's not allowed here - I'm forced to give her…read moreone. She was the supervisor for my son's visits with his Dad. From the first intake visit with Lisa, she was judgmental, biased, and rude. She made comments to me about how I'm not using my college degree and laughed at my safety concerns for my son during the visit. She is incredibly unprofessional and I'm surprised she has had any success in this field. The office is small, dirty and has old uncleaned toys for the children. Lisa also scheduled a visit without even alerting me - she called and was like 'where are you?', I had zero knowledge. She adds to a very tense custody situation by lack of professionalism, care for my son and having a clear bias towards the non-custodial party. She most recently cc'd the other party into a private email I was having with her about concerns about him, the visits, etc.. It blows my mind how careless she is. Avoid this place!! I certainly will be finding another supervisor ASAP.
