The psychiatrist at Roseville Oaks didn't want to prescribe me meds, and I had to get my insurance provider involved for them to help me. Then the day before my discharge the psychiatrist told me to stop taking the meds, and we are going to discharge you, talk to your provider next week. For someone that is suffering with anxiety and depression it is almost enough to send me back into crisis.

Childhood difficulties combined with losing my mother almost two years ago has really compounded the need for serious change. Discussing this with my wife led to a referral to Becca at HeartWise. After a short interview, I felt in tune and that I was going to be in a comfortable, safe place. It's really hard as an older guy to let loose all those suppressed memories and difficult times. Becca has made that easier for me than I thought, and now I can't imagine anyone else trying to help me through decades of issues. Thank you HeartWise!

I have seen many therapists over the years both individual therapy and couples therapy. I have…read moreexperienced private practice masters and grad students working on getting hours. I have close family members and friends who are therapists. I understand that each practitioner has a style, preferred modalities, and personality traits that may not mesh with everyone. Rebecca has earned the lowest rating possible because she misrepresented herself as someone capable of assisting my kids' dad and I with one specific, highly contentious issue (coming to an agreement on a holiday custody schedule) and communication with her has been the most unprofessional I've ever come across. I have no confidence in her anymore, and that's disappointing. In the months we tried to work together she forgot to respond to emails from the get go, citing a busy home life, requesting detailed information she never read, then requesting it again with no idea it had been emailed a month prior, she booked an appointment, then changed the time (whether she made an error on her calendar or not) and although the email thread shows her error, she would not take responsibility for it, and now, complete ghosting...it has been a full month since we received any response from her regarding scheduling further sessions. Her parenting program feels like her reading handouts out loud that she could send to us without charging an hourly fee, and after weeks of trying to trust her process, she emailed to say she didn't want to spend any more time working on our holiday plan. In this, she somehow found the one thing we could agree on, that's not at all what she communicated to us during our intake interviews and every meeting since. We both went to her to work on one issue, she told us it was within the scope of her abilities, and she left us high and dry. As a side note, her program requires weekly phone calls between parents, which for someone who was in an emotionally abusive relationship, is extremely triggering. I did not feel supported or safe expressing my opposition to this requirement. My experience with Rebecca was terrible all around.

She helped me make some life changing decisions. She is a great communicator who listens deeply and is able to provide tools to help you put the ugliness behind you and move forward in a positive way.

Her sound advice and helpful tools will be something I can use for a lifetime. She was a joy to work with and I highly recommend her.

I'd never been to a therapist before but knew I'd need to find someone I could respect and trust; a kind person who would firmly tell me the truth in a nonjudgmental fashion, and someone who would empower me. I wanted practical cognitive behavioral therapy with the option to augment with hypnosis. Denise met all of these qualities. Denise has years of experience and her insights always pleasantly surprise me. She recommends useful books, techniques, and assigns homework for me to practice what I've learned. She'll often suggest specific actions I can take to improve a situation and we've even role played to prepare me. Denise's coaching skills make all the difference putting these insights into constructive action. My wife and I have also met jointly with Denise for couples counseling. I was initially apprehensive, but relieved to discover Denise is a good mediator who doesn't take sides. She listened and guided us through conversation, focusing us on what we could each do individually to become better partners. She's good at discerning when it's best to be direct or drop "hints" to get the message across without leaving anyone feeling defensive. I highly recommend Denise if you're in a rut or struggling in a personal relationship. Denise is the kind of person I think most people are hoping to find in a therapist and coach.

Agree with prior reviews. Sessions are drawn out just to increase billing, under the guise of 'care'. She believes to specialize in helping nurses, but her years of experience have made her believing she's the best therapist out there, This is far from true. If you work in healthcare I would recommend looking elsewhere. There are much better options....stay away from her practice.

If you're looking up mental health clinics right now, well done. Don't be afraid to get the help you need.

Finding the best therapist for any individual is as difficult as finding the right partner, most…read moredon't work out and some can even traumatize you. Rebecca is authentic; has a wonderfully dry sense of humor; is super sharp, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely empathetic. However, she is also not going to be the right therapist for everyone. She might be for you, she definitely was for me. I made so much progress with her, and I have been in therapy on and off for over 30 years. The person I had seen before her, there was probably about a four year gap between the two, had actually been a terrible therapist and really traumatized me. I thought I would never go to anyone after him, but when I found myself in a toxic work environment and in a new town with no support system, I had to find someone. I am so glad I found Rebecca. She helped me get through it and I actually grew a lot and came to understand my behavior and responses much better than I had before. My recommendation is that if you are struggling with PTSD, anger, or anxiety issues, her methodology will be useful. As another reviewer pointed out, she may not be the person if you cancel appointments at the last minute, so if that is what you need to do, you will probably want to find someone else. I am habitually late, and she put up with me and while I never felt judged exactly, I don't think she thought I was awesome at being on time and it probably annoyed her. She holds us accountable for our behavior, and that seems reasonable. We aren't paying her to be our friend, we are asking her to help us navigate through life's challenges. She does that honestly and I think with compassion as well. I never felt judged by her at all for the things I have done or said or been through. She is not like that. I think that is very important to understand, because that is where it matters most. She works very hard between being a college professor and a therapist, so her time is valuable and should be respected by her clients, even when we are going through hard times. What I can say about Rebecca is that she will make time for you when you need her, she has done it for me and I have seen her do it for others. She shows up and she is present. Rebecca is an intellectual and insatiably curious, and I would say she is an achiever, she is goal focused. That is not for everyone, but if you want to set goals, if you want structure, she is right there to help you build the framework and help you move forward. Sometimes we need hand holding, and she has done that for me too, but what she does better than any therapist I have had before is helped me move through emotions that prevented me from staying stuck. My best advice for anyone seeking therapy, after dozens of experiences, is that while a person might be good for you they might not be good for your neighbor or vice versa. Of all my therapists I can only count two that were actually good for me. Rebecca is one of them. That being said, listen to your instinct when choosing a therapist, and notice if it doesn't seem right. A bad therapist, like a bad partner, can do a ton of damage. I feel extremely confident saying that even if she is not the right fit for someone, Rebecca is not a bad therapist. She knows what she is doing and is an excellent therapist, whether she is the therapist for you depends on what you need. Either way, I trust her. I don't trust that many people, but I trust her. Also, her dog Astro is amazing. So, if you like dogs, he is one of those super adoring, sweetheart dogs that make you feel all warm and fuzzy.
