I couldn't even go to the first session because I completely broke down just looking at her mind map over the phone. Just sobbing. Emotionally exhausted from suppressing years of childhood trauma and domestic violence, she gently took me through her methods and I quit drinking and smoking effortlessly. I have now returned to her this month to finish what we started. I have new awareness to my patterns that she literally insightfully gave me another breakthrough with one sentence. Processing and diving into her mind map gives your brain the ability to go where it needs to go. After over a decade of therapists, only Dr. Judy has been able to cut through the BS and guide me on my way.

Tamika and her colleagues are AMAZING!! I highly recommend this place. I come from an extremely…read moredysfunctional family. In life, I choose calm over chaos and distance over disrespect and I only surround myself with people who are good for my mental health, heart , and soul. You do not always have to forgive and you don't always have to forget! Sometimes, once the bridge has been burned ... there's no fixing it. As long as you know what's best for you , nothing or nobody can make you feel bad especially when they play victim. I've distanced myself from all of this and I pick and choose who I want in my life. I can't control who will try to come back into my life after years of damage and with them bringing in negative energy so what I do is I will walk away! That's the best. No words , no need to explain A THING, but to just move forward by walking away and it will place them in their place . Some people aren't good and unfortunately will find a way to try to connect with you when they see you as an opportunity for them to benefit from. And when they expect for to you to vibe with them a certain way they expect and expectations aren't met, YOU ARE now the WEIRDEST, YOU ARE now A HORRIBLE PERSON, YOU THINK YOURE BETTER than them. This is called gaslighting and playing victim. I don't play this. Above are examples of what this place has helped me go through with my personal issues . Don't hesitate coming here to speak with Tamika.

5 stars does not cut it for this amazing woman's work…read more I found Tamika by sheer luck. I say this because it is EXTREMELY hard to find a decent therapist/life coach/social worker (you name it), let alone an incredible one since they're almost mythical or non-existent like unicorns. After meeting with constant terrible therapists who clearly did not care for my well-being (more so for his or her paycheck), I somehow was blessed with landing a session with Tamika. After my first session I felt so surprised. I had finally found the unicorn that I was searching for my whole life! I am currently enrolled in a Marriage and Family therapy program, so I wanted someone to truly help me find my path and purpose as well as heal me so that I can be an effective therapist myself. Well, Tamika did that and much more. Tamika helped me heal in ways that I cannot even fully put into words. Tamika guided me to find my soul and my passions in life. Tamika also helped me IMMENSELY as an up and coming therapist. She validated my concerns and reignited my soul again. I truly feel as though I am a changed woman and that I am stronger than ever and I felt this change in me within the first 2-3 sessions. Tamika helped me grow as an independent woman, improved my love life, guided me in the career and other ventures, validated me, and made me feel safe. It's amazing what a great healer with amazing guidance and coaching in all aspects of life can do for someone...and Tamika is the epitome of it all. I promise you, you're in more than good hands with Tamika. You're in spectacular hands with her

First I want to thank Christine. I found her through Yelp and I don't regret it. I've tried therapy…read morebefore w a therapist through Kaiser and unfortunately, it didn't help. I actually gave up on looking for another therapist for a while thinking that they would all be the same. I was wrong. When I found Christine, I simply just informed her how my other sessions w the other therapists have gone and what i didn't like and she went another way that would suit my needs better. Christine has been there for me and she always goes above and beyond. She has helped me through so much and continues to help me w so much. I have a session every other week and I truly look forward to them. She is so real and down to earth which I respect. Please look no further and contact Christine. I'm sure she will not disappoint you.

I have no words to adequately express the level of appreciation I have for the help Dr. Christine…read moreprovided for my son when he was going through a challenging period in his life. I have seen a number of wonderful therapists myself over the years for various reasons, and without a doubt, Dr. Christine is a special gem who shines out brightly amongst all of them. As I was reaching out to various counselors at the commencement of this particular turn in the road of my family's life (trying to find the right "fit" for my son), I felt an immediate connection with her and was struck by how quickly she intuitively grasped the situation we were grappling with. Her ability to establish meaningful and fruitful lines of communication with young adults is amazing; she was able to create a comfortable atmosphere where my son was able to relax and open up about what was going on. Her advice, views and observations she provided were expressed with a refreshing candor that he could easily identify with & process. Not always an easy feat to pull off with a teenager! The amount of time she has generously given, and her availability to my son whenever he reaches out to her with concerns or comments is unparalleled. Never before have I worked with a therapist who conveys such a level of fairness, caring and empathy. Dr. Christine was a ray of light that guided us down a particularly dark corridor of our lives. I highly recommend her to anyone (adult or child!!) who needs a helping hand through a bumpy stretch of life. Speaking from our own family's experience, the positive impact of our interactions with her will reverberate for a long time to come.
