In a word, this woman is brilliant! She is an extraordinarily gifted relationship expert…read more I cannot say enough about Ranjan Patel and her incredible skill as a therapist. She took a relationship that was on the verge of falling apart and helped us transform it into something stronger, healthier, and more connected than we ever thought possible. Her ability to listen with empathy, ask the right questions, and guide us through difficult conversations was extraordinary. She helped us uncover and address the root issues in our relationship while giving us practical tools to communicate better, rebuild trust, and truly understand each other. Thanks to her expertise and support, our relationship didn't just survive--it has thrived in ways we didn't think were possible. I am forever grateful for the positive impact she has had on our lives. If you're looking for someone who is deeply skilled, compassionate, and truly gifted at helping couples, I wholeheartedly recommend her! She is a life changer!!

She has always been extremely supportive when I've needed it, and at the same time has helped me look deeper into myself for solutions to life's problems. Dr. Patel sees very clearly -- she has illuminated situations that I was mired in and helped me to make the necessary changes to move forward. The video/telehealth option is great too! Highest recommendation.

It has been great. I did initially meet with my therapist in person and then we switched to online via video call. Unlike previous therapists at groups who take insurance, D (not sure if I should post her name) is very proactive and responsive to my questions, concerns, and has explained how we are moving forward and how she hopes to help me. I don't just talk, she listens and then we strategize. I could not be happier. And they take my insurance.

I can wholeheartedly give Riva mental health a five star rating. From the intake form until my…read morefirst appointment, the communication was fantastic. I had the extraordinary good luck to be paired with Rachael Silver for my therapist. She's deeply skilled, caring, and very empathetic. Rachael provided me with the tools that I needed, and will continue to benefit me for a lifetime. JH

We started taking our elementary school son to Palo Alto Therapy after he started exhibiting issues…read moreat school due some stress he was experiencing outside the classroom. We couldn't be happier with the care he has been receiving. He was initially really worried about going to therapy but now he looks forward to having a safe space (that doesn't involve his parents *smirk*) to unload his feelings. From a parental perspective, we've been pleased we the progress we've seen in how he is communicating his emotions so we can better help him work through how he is feeling. Thank you Palo Alto Therapy!

Worked with LCSW Josh Optawosky who quickly helped navigate to solutions. He was kind and compassionate. Another highlight is the billing department. You can read about many other practices who are "about the money" and talk money before help. PA Therapy was very timely with billing and when the insurance had a misstep, PA Therapy offered to wait a week to resubmit. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful - a total win when your focus is on mental health:) Very Pleased!

Working with Krista was absolutely amazing! She was able to make a huge difference with my PTSD…read more The techniques she uses are not available thru the VA Healthcare system. I can highly recommend her! It is difficult writing about something so personal, and most Veterans are suffering in silence. That is just how we were taught... got a problem, don't talk about it. I had been living with my issues since 2002, but after 16 years, I finally found someone able to help me. If you know of any veterans suffering from their PTSD, Krista is definitely worth visiting. Don't put it off, it won't go away on it's own.

I will say without reservation that my therapist was very effective at helping me move past a…read moretraumatic experience, and since ceasing therapy I haven't had any other issues with it. That said - I wasn't a huge fan of this place. First of all, it's extremely expensive, especially if you're not making a typical Bay Area salary. Second, my therapist was kind of cold. She was smart but I never really felt comfortable or warmed up with her. Third, she made me do a ton of assessments on physical pen and paper, which seems unnecessarily obsolete (they had a copyright date of like 1999 - didn't instill confidence that she was up to date on her techniques). Finally, my therapist kept sharing details of her own experience in therapy, which was super inappropriate and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I'd recommend this place if you have a very specific issue you need to deal with and can resolve it in 5 sessions or less. It's honestly too expensive to continue beyond that.

Lisa, the intake coordinator, spoke with me about my needs and she was able to match me with a therapist in training in two weeks. It is pricy, but at the time of this review, they have a sliding scale based on income.

I would recommend Kara for someone seeking care from people who understand grief.

Ultimately it's to your liking because you contacted her. That was my experience first hand. Not to get in to specifics, we did a total of three sessions and each one of those sessions were insightful. Maureen suggests to record the session as it's happening, and when I say an hour and some change went by in the first session I was blown away. I left with something on that first session that I can't erase or say that didn't happen.
