Great beers on tap, fun folks in here watching the Super Bowl, bartenders handling the crowd well, and a really nice selection of modern pinball tables that seem like they were set up by someone who really knows what they're doing. My partner got the soju margarita and did *not* like it...so maybe stick to the beers. Black Knight, Mars Attacks, Foo Fighters, Dr No, and - a clean bathroom! A buck for three balls, woohoo! And there's a pool table now. Haven't tried the food, but I'll be back.

Tienes que pagar antes de sentarte, y te piden la propina ahí mismo, la cual dimos. Pero después que pagas, nadie se acerca a preguntarte si todo esta bien.

By the way, we are Mexicans, we know about Mexican food, and this isn't it.

One bite, and I nearly threw up; it tasted sour and rancid, not even edible for something pretending to be food. The texture was slimy, the bun was a soggy wreck, and the toppings--wilted lettuce and a sad smear of sauce--looked like they'd been scraped off someone else's plate. I don't care if it's vegan or not; no one should be served spoiled trash like that.I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL. I wish 0 star but they don't let me submit my feedback

You'll find no one else even close to Dr. Steve Balt, in terms of his expert skill, sincere empathy…read morefor his patients, and uniquely effective approach to mental health treatment.  If you've grown exasperated or etiolated with other providers who just won't *listen* to you; if you're looking for someone to selectively challenge your thoughts to inform your "gestalt" to you and others, as appropriate; or, if you just need someone you can trust to have your best interest at heart, I can personally attest to the fact that you should see Dr. Balt now, while you can. The rough can only obscure a gem like Dr. Balt for so long.  Dr. Balt's style precludes traditional "paper" diagnoses, which, at least to me, makes the most sense because no one can maintain with any level of confidence that their thinking and psyche can be wholly and correctly labeled in a box. Let's face it: our thinking is fluid, as our issues may be of mercurial function. Dr. Balt not only fully understands this truth but clearly relates to it in his treatment, which I would describe as medication-assisted psychotherapy.  Seeing Dr. Balt every other week since Summer 2018 has been perhaps the most rewarding experience I've accrued in that same timespan. I had seen other providers, but only Dr. Balt recognized my issues as specific to only me, as a person.  Dr. Balt's "collective" approach assures that you won't be stuck scarfing down tablets for reasons you don't fully understand or agree with, and compromise is the name of the game when loggerheads nears broaching.  Without delving into my personal issues, suffice it to say that complexities have been manifold, and I've honestly actually come to eagerly await each and every meeting with Dr. Balt!

A friend highly recommend I talk to Colette, and so began a journey that helped me have the courage to get a divorce and be on my own. But that was just the start. Colette became what I thought of as my "wise woman": the person I could trust to help me truly see myself as others did, and to be honest about what I needed to change. Throughout, Colette proved to be compassionate and insightful, tough when she needed to be, and boundlessly loving. I felt safe and heard. Colette never gave up on me, even when I couldn't see my way. I can truly say wouldn't be where I am in my life--happy and excited for every day--if it weren't for her. What a gift. FYI, I'm now remarried to a terrific guy who has also benefitted from Colette's wisdom. By both visiting her, singly and together, we have learned more about ourselves and each other. It has also given us a common language and understanding to navigate life's inevitable sticky spots--something I didn't do very well before! I'd highly recommend Colette to anyone--or any couples or parents--seeking guidance and support along life's path.

Like Lucy in the Peanuts comics, I was constantly trying to fix things in my childhood home. Driven by that desire to heal the suffering around me, I studied counseling psychology at Sonoma State University and earned my masters degree. I studied ancient cultural traditions, world religions, and numerous psychotherapeutic modalities, including Reichian Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Jungian Analysis. I knew I was on my right life path. Most importantly, I’ve pursued my passionate interest in growing through creativity, yoga, meditation and psychotherapy with several extraordinary practitioners. When I started to work with a therapist, I discovered how wonderful psychotherapy was for enriching my life and teaching me more skillful ways of dealing with life than I’d learned in my early home..  I continued to work with different therapists and to study different modalities for the next forty years, all of which have given me a passionate interest in sharing with people all the joy this has given me.
