I figured talking to someone couldn't hurt, and I wasn't forced to go back if I didn't like it. I saw Kristin for the first time about two years ago, and I really appreciate her non-judgmental, careful way of getting you to open up. I'm not someone who talks about much, really, but this turned out to be the best investment I've made in myself. While it's expensive, it's worth it. Even just going for "maintenance" sessions is helpful. I started off every other week, but that wasn't enough, so I went once, sometimes twice a week for a couple of months. After that, I was able to use the tools she gave me in the real world, and the benefits really stick. You matter to people in this world, so you have to matter to yourself too.

I've been seeing Kristin on and off for about six years, and she has been an incredible source of…read moresupport through some of the most difficult times in my life. She's compassionate, empathetic, and truly listens without judgment. Kristin has helped me develop practical tools and strategies that I still use every day to manage stress and stay grounded. I always leave our sessions feeling heard, understood, and more confident in myself. I'm so grateful to have found her and can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a therapist who genuinely cares.

We've had a wonderful experience working with Jeanette. She has been seeing our 10-year-old son,…read morewhile also providing parent coaching sessions for me and my wife, and the impact has been incredibly positive for our entire family. One of Jeanette's greatest strengths is her ability to create a safe, supportive space, especially for kids around our son's age. She quickly earned his trust, which is no small feat, and he feels comfortable opening up to her in a way that has truly helped his growth. In addition to her work with our son, Jeanette's parent coaching has been invaluable.

She helps build a stronger sense of self confidence so the client feels more capable to handle life's stressful situations. Her communication is clear and she responds quickly, which makes me feel valued. Being validated and challenged to become a better and more balanced person is her talent to to share with clients. In the sea of MFTs, she is a gem!

Extremely frustrating experience with WAVE Therapy Group. There is never a live person to speak to…read morewhen you call -- the phone is completely useless. The intake process was easy, but everything after that was a mess. I logged into my scheduled intake appointment and waited over 20 minutes with no provider. When I tried calling multiple times to see if the provider was late, no one answered. I eventually emailed and was told I had canceled my appointment 18 minutes before it started, which is completely untrue. I did not cancel -- I logged in and waited. Instead of calling to figure out what happened, they charged me for a missed appointment. Later I was told "Google canceled it," and now billing has to "review" whether I'll be reimbursed. Unprofessional, stressful, and not acceptable -- especially for a therapy practice.

His input saved my marriage and got me over a number of hurdles in my life. Besides those events, he keeps me on an even keel. I've seen him alone, but he also does couples therapy and interventions with difficult relatives. Besides Mark, I've also heard that there are several other therapists at Wave that do a good job as they are thoroughly vetted before being taken on. I highly recommend Wave Therapy.

Anne was very quick to pinpoint our issues through her very intuitive observations. She is a superb listener and was always very careful to check in with us to be sure she was correctly understanding what we were revealing during our sessions. Once she knew she had it "right", she offered suggestions and tools that greatly improved our damaged relationship very quickly. It was essential to me that I had a "safe " place to verbalize what was making me so unhappy. Anne is in firm control of her sessions and anything that might impede a client from having the freedom to say what is on their mind. She is truly impartial and without judgement , which allows the client to feel comfortable talking about very uncomfortable things. I highly recommend Anne to anyone in need of a compassionate, no nonsense therapist with a kind, effective approach to emotional healing.

Jussi Light's "conjoint therapy" deeply traumatized my son. The only thing he accomplished in his…read moresessions was giving my son nightmares of Jussi Light committing murder in his office. Light's aggressive style was not based on a real understanding of the complexity of the issues, but a reliance on his very limited scope of knowledge and misguided confidence. He did much harm. One thing Jussi Light never fails to do, though, is to mention money in his sessions. I had to repeatedly remind him of the inappropriateness of this kind of conversation in front of a minor. He just couldn't help it. Aggressively incompetent and overconfident - quite a combination.

I reached out when I felt our son needed someone to talk to about his feelings as he was separated from friends and sports, and overwhelmed with online learning. John was absolutely the best! Since John works with kids, he had a program suited for the pre-teen age group and their emotional needs/communication that didn't feel "childish" to my 10 y/o. After about 2 weeks (1 session a week) , our family dynamic changed for the better. And the next time we saw family, they commented on my son's maturity and communication style being leaps beyond previous encounters. As parents we want to be able to provide everything our kids need, but leaning on a caring outsider like John to provide guidance felt like we invested in our child's well being for life.!
