I can honestly say Cathy Hayes is one of the best marriage and family therapists out there. A…read morecouple of years ago, my fiancée and I were at our lowest point--we had both made mistakes, constantly argued, and were ready to separate and only co-parent. Cathy completely changed the direction of our lives. From the very first session, she made us both feel safe and understood, never taking sides but truly helping us understand and rebuild our relationship. She helped us communicate, heal old wounds, and grow stronger than we ever thought possible. She even worked with us to make counseling affordable during a tough time, which meant so much. We haven't been in therapy for over two years now, but the positive changes she helped us create are still thriving today. Our relationship is better than ever--we're planning our wedding and building a beautiful future for our family. Cathy didn't just help us stay together; she helped us transform into the best version of ourselves as a couple and as parents. We'll always be grateful for her incredible guidance and support.

I am very thankful to have met her. Now my teenager is there too to get counseling. I recommend Renee and her staff here 100 percent. She is truly there helping people and passionate about her work.

I wanted to provide an update to my previous review as I have returned to counseling, but this time…read morefor a different reason. Since my last session with Patricia, I've found a new partner and wanted to ensure that our relationship started on the right track. I'm happy to say that Patricia and her team have been incredibly helpful once again. In the past, Patricia helped me grow and develop so much insight. It's hard to find a counselor who genuinely cares and is as skilled as she is. I've tried many counselors in the area, but none compare to her techniques and experience. I started counseling about a year ago feeling lonely and empty, but Patricia took me out of that dark place. While I saw a few others as well, they were not as skilled as Patricia. I cannot thank Patricia enough for helping me find myself again after my relationship trauma. She has taught me valuable skills to be strong again, and I feel empowered because of her guidance. I am immensely grateful for her help and have so much gratitude towards her. She has truly helped me discover myself after the long-term unhealthy relationship with my previous partner. I highly recommend Patricia to anyone seeking counseling services. She is compassionate, skilled, and genuinely cares about her clients' well-being. Thank you, Patricia, for everything you've done for me.

I would not recommend Patricia Chan to anyone. My family hired Patricia to provide both in person…read moreand online therapy sessions - her services were unprofessional and biased. For insight on this, as well as to how she responds to criticism, take a look at how she responds to negative reviews on Yelp. She routinely hides behind her "Board of Directors" when it comes to any complaint. She commonly responds to concerns with statements like, "all decisions are made by the board" and "I have to ask the board" - however, public records show that she's the only director. It was a struggle to obtain any kind of billing records from her and her team as they were extremely unhelpful and uncommunicative. She was, however, happy to take almost $7000 from us. My family had to obtain therapy from a different, more reputable therapist because of the trauma went through with Patricia Chan. We considered reporting her but decided we wanted to wash our hands clean of the trauma and move forward with healing instead. If you're considering her services, please do your research and find a therapist with the right credentials for your individual situation. Understanding the differences between LCSW, LMFT and PsyD will be very helpful. UPDATE: I had photos of my receipts and her business name filing showing her being the only director. Patricia Chan got my photos deleted and responded to this review (in the third person - in all other responses, she responds directly). She's also using the "this person was never a client" excuse and (passive aggressively) claiming defamation. Again, she provided therapy for members of my family - not me directly - that I paid for. There are many situations where this might happen, including but not limited to: a parent obtaining therapy for a child; a child obtaining therapy for an elderly parent; etc. But I'm not surprised she used that excuse, as that was the same excuse that was made when attempting to resolve this issue at the time of conflict. There's also a difference between defamation and sharing a negative experience regarding interactions with a business - this is my honest review of my family's experience with Patricia Chan/LiveWell Therapy. I'm happy to provide copies of my receipts and emails (me communicating directly with Chan) for anyone else having issues with this business - feel free to message me. Additionally, anyone can do a public business search for LiveWell Therapy on: https://bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov/search/business Click on "View History" and to see the Statement of Information, showing Patrica Chan as the only person on the Board of Directors. She also regularly uses the PsyD(c) designation in her emails and billing statements. According to the American Psychological Association, the "(c)" designation is misleading and potentially unethical. See: https://www.apa.org/monitor/2016/09/misuse-phd

I was going through life confused and frustrated and I was stuck in a cycle that was just getting worse because I didn't understand how to help myself. Having a professional explain to me what's happening with my mind has been incredibly beneficial. I'm really glad I decided to see Robin. She's easy to talk to, gives great book recommendations, and she's been wonderfully accommodating with my schedule. I've been going to her for about 5 months and she's taught me so much about processing my thoughts and emotions. She taught me healthier ways of self-talk and how to be less judgmental toward myself. I've relearned how to be inwardly kind and accepting. It's been hard work but I'm happy to report I'm in a much better place now from my very first appointment. I'm becoming the person I know I can be thanks to the tools Robin has given me. I will also thank myself because Robin taught me to give myself more credit ;) But really, thanks Robin for guiding me when I felt so terribly lost.

He truly goes above and beyond for his clients and is very prompt when responding to matters. Before working with Dr. Hanna I was in an urgent situation looking for a new psychiatrist and Dr. Hanna was able to squeeze me into his busy schedule to conduct my initial tele-psychiatry appointment for that same week! An example of how he truly goes above and beyond for his clients was when I needed a last minute accommodations letter for my school and he was able to get it to me that very same day.
