But its no problem crushing you over not returning a few emails, or saying you will return a call and spacing it in 2021!!! Hilarious they took the time to write that bad review then, well working from home and frustrated with no dog to kick I suppose yelp makes sense.. But following a prolonged forced lockdown, a deadly pandemic, at height of vaccine tensions, and a nation adjusting to a new dystopian reality trying not to strangle each other in lines. Yea I think I stopped reading emails more than once a month a year before that. lol. All reasons I highly recommend therapy to people because having an objective third person in the room listening to your narratives and observing your affect can be tremendously helpful to everyone. An experienced therapist can help you navigate through your blind spots, misperception, bad habits, and help you edit a poorly chosen personal narrative or even a nasty internal dialogue. So I would highly recommend making an appointment. My only suggestion would be to simplify what you do for marketing a bit. Not sure what these all mean and clearly a lot of overlaps. And Master NLP Practitioner? That could mean a lot of things and some problematic. Also you need to add more of you with some photos, pet pics, and personal choices. Never got better advice than be yourself, it has a power to resonate that is magic and authentic. Of course nobody tells you that later your eventual goal is to have a disastrous website that nobody reads and barely works because your practice is way past full. Cheers

I cannot say enough about John Boesky! He is absolutely hands down, the kindest, most compassionate…read moretherapist I have ever consulted. His genuine attentive listening and curiosity always leaves me feeling heard and understood and his knowledge and practice of internal family systems mode of therapy has opened up a whole new world of self awareness for me. Under his gentle guidance and support for the last year and a half, I have learned how to turn negative thoughts and emotions that have not served me well in the past to more positive and productive ways to navigate life 's challenges, and with John's supportive and non judgmental style and the IFS therapy, I have more joyful positivity and confidence back in my life. I enthusiastically recommend that if you need a highly skilled, compassionate, and PATIENT professional to help you navigate whatever life challenges you are facing. you will find all that and much more in John Boesky. He is truly a gift!

Today I had a wonderful hypnotherapy session by Esmeralda Christensen, and I wanted to share my…read moreexperience to encourage those who have come across this profile. The session starts with a phone call. If you don't get her phone, she's probably in an appointment. Just leave a voicemail or email her, and you get a response within 24 hours. You dictate how your phone consultation goes. In the end you are given the option to schedule an in-person meeting. The office is in the peaceful area of Kensington. Inside the building is very quiet which created a clam atmosphere. There are many books on personal development to keep you in the mindset of overcoming personal struggles. You are given full privacy during the session. The room is well decorated to provide a homey feeling so you feel a sense of comfort as you share your story. Christensen allows the client to choose the focus of the session. You share and elaborate on what is troubling you and holding you back most, and she will give you a new perspective by breaking down the subconscious mind so you can work on overcoming those problems. The information given is easy to dissect and apply to everyday life. For me, the hypnosis served more as an opportunity to approach my thoughts with a clear head. I left the office feeling very optimistic about moving forward. She emphasizes that hypnosis is not magic, so she provided daily exercises to maintain the positive results. Long story short, pick up the phone and give it a try for yourself.

I have been seeing Allen for about 6 months now. Allen is my first therapist so I do not have a lot…read moreof experience with therapy. I can say I am very happy with Allen's approach to my mental healing. We do talk therapy for current issues life brings, then do EMDR and hypnotherapy for some childhood PTSD.

Dr. Sidwell made me feel super comfortable from the beginning and has helped me work through a LOT of traumas and even been able to delve into some things I didn't even realise were affecting me. He never made me feel judged and truly listened to my experiences before starting the work each session. Also just a really authentic, genuine, nice person. Would very highly recommend!

When you find a counselor who is truly skilled at what she does, it is life-changing, and you don't…read moreknow it until you finally see it. There are a lot of mediocre counselors, or therapists who perhaps don't quite have the decades of experience necessary to make impactful change, and it's easy to spend months or years with an albeit well-meaning counselor but not see dramatic changes, or even to spin your wheels. That's not the case with Debbie. She truly cares but, what's more, has clearly lived her practice to a degree that makes it possible for her to be effortlessly effective and helpful, and to make room for dramatic change, and in multiple ways. During my time in counseling with Debbie, there have been both the "Ah ha!" moments that help provide clarity, but also the more sustainable, long term shifts under the surface that are arguably even more impactful -- the subtle understandings that occur over time that result in certain patterns of behavior simply falling away. I'm truly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Debbie, and highly recommend her.

What started out as an attempt to get help…read morethrough a rough patch, turned into a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, both inside and out. Her approach is new to me having only experienced traditional talk therapy in the past, but after only a few sessions the effectiveness of her holistic approach became very apparent. I find myself looking forward to each session as she helps me work through and grow any area of my life I want to improve, as well as take on new endeavors. In a nutshell, Dr. Kim Ward helps me to: 1. Share in a supportive and safe environment 2. Create new healthy habits and put them into daily practice 3. Focus my energy and resources on the people and things that matter most 4. Realize limitations I wasn't aware I had, and old stories I was living by 5. Discover what truly makes me happy and fulfilled 6. Improve my understanding of myself and others through the use and study of the Enneagram, a powerful tool that describes how different personality types interpret and interface with the world 7. Incorporate exercise and a healthy diet into my daily life 8. Recognize physical signs that impact the quality of life and my mental and emotional states 9. Be mindful of stress and irritation and use meditation and other various techniques to manage it 10. Stay on path when outside influences start to steer me astray She is compassionate and supportive, has a great sense of humor, and has years of knowledge and experience. I highly recommend Dr. Kim Ward as a therapist and/or personal and professional coach.

I have been seeing Dr. Hilary Stokes for many years. She has literally been a life-saver. I came to…read moreher very broken. I had just gotten out of a treatment facility for PTSD & suicidality, though I still battled the suicidal thoughts and had a cutting addiction. Little did I know how skilled Dr. Stokes is in treating trauma. She exhibited a great amount of patience and true dedication to my healing process. As a result, I have not been suicidal or participated in bodily injury in several years! In addition to being highly-skilled, I have found her to be very warm, compassionate, gentle, open and relatable. She is willing to share a bit about herself if I ask, which for me is important in fostering trust and connection. She is always sensitive to my needs and is empathic... I feel like she is really listening and hearing me. I have come to trust her immensely. She also offers many alternative techniques in addition to the traditional talking model, which is a unique bonus. I have grown so much and am doing/feeling so much better now than I ever have in my life. I owe a huge chunk of that to Dr. Stokes. Thank you!

The only way I can describe what she is able to do is to give you a visualization of going into the deepest most hidden aspect of ones self and her being right by your side with a flashlight, and she tells you to open the doors, and to trust her to get you through the process. Ive been seeing Dr. Macilvaine off and in since 2010. She is unique and one of a kind. I encourage anyone who is truly interested in healing the roots and depths of raw, organic, unrelenting pain and suffering to contact her. I have since taken my daughter, I have recommended my son, his wife, and children, and countless people I encounter that wonder in amazement as to how Im still living.
