After 18 years together my partner told me we were DONE if I wouldn't go to couples therapy…read more In a nutshell, I was drug kicking and screaming. Issuing me that ultimatum was the BEST thing my partner ever did for our relationship. Agreeing was the best thing I ever did for our relationship. I'm not big on the woo-woo but choosing Ms. Prescott as our therapist somehow seems like a gift from beyond. We had a couples session every week for a year. Then every other week for about six months. Then once month for a couple months. We haven't had a session in almost a year so I feel like there is enough water under the bridge to determine how helpful the therapy was. I cannot even begin to explain how much Ms. Prescott helped us change our lives. We learned skills to help us as a couple but we also worked on our own individual issues as well - but as a couple. I feel like I've never known my partner better. And I also feel like we are communicating more clearly and have better boundaries with each other and our families. And yet we are also more empathetic and supportive of one another. Ms. Prescott is a goal-oriented therapist (YOUR goals) and will get you where you want to go if you let her help.

My partner and I have done a couple of two-hour sessions of premarital counseling with Allyson. I…read morecannot say enough about how talented a therapist she is. She is the perfect blend of emotionally in touch and academic/scientific. We never cease to be amazed with the way she can take our specific examples and draw more foundational conclusions to get to the root of issues. And let me just say -- my fiancé was not thrilled about going to counseling, and even he loves Allyson and has found it to be a very powerful experience. If you are considering counseling, you won't regret booking a session with her.

Allyson is the BOMB! My wife and I were on a path to leave each other but we wanted to give…read morecounseling one last chance to heal our relationship. Allyson laid it on the line with us that our relationship was far from over and has been telling us what we need to hear and do to heal each ourselves and in doing so heal our relationship and become better people and better partners. We are moving out of state but considering travelling back one every two weeks to maintain our work with her. What does that say? Be warned, she doesn't hesitate to lay you bare if that is what you need. But you never feel like her intent is to hurt you, she implies the trust you might give a surgeon when you have to undergo a surgery and you know you can trust the surgeon. My wife and I aren't healed yet, but we see the path and with Allyson's help we are trying to follow it.

Specifically her work with Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) has helped me have more emotional balance and make more gains in months with her, than I have in a decade of very regular talk therapy with past therapists. Cheri is good at maintaining her focus on the root of whatever you discuss with her and has a very embodied understanding of the issues she is working with. She is kind and compassionate.

This therapist is dangerous. Firstly, she views gender fluidity to be a symptom of mental illness…read moreoutside gender dysphoria. She demands sensitive information without establishing basic trust, or answering questions to earn that trust, or even simply clarify that she can be trusted. The questions I was asked to answer to see her were confusing and concerningly stigmatizing across the board. When I asked questions, I was made to feel like I was being "disobedient" for doing so. The patient practitioner relationship is unbalanced, she has no empathy, or interest in listening to concerns. I am genuinely concerned that she does hypnosis given her character and I feel I missed a bullet and a potentially very abusive and damaging therapeutic relationship.

In my time working with Tatiana, she showed so much empathy and care for me and helped me…read moreunderstand myself in a deeper way. She made time when I needed an "emergency" appointment due to a crisis which shows how much she cares for her clients. She pushed me to challenge my ways of thinking that were harmful to me, and gave me many tools to help deal with anxiety. I am grateful that I got the chance to work with her.

Nope. I do not recommend this therapist. She made a lot of assumptions, interrupted instead of…read morelistening, and made up her mind on how things should go rather than being open to other ideas. I was in marriage counseling, and she requested to see my husband and I separately and then essentially pit the two of us against each other. She made assumptions about my weight and body type and brought them up (unprompted!) in our session. Keep in mind, this was virtual therapy, and all she could see was my face. Nevertheless, that is so incredibly inappropriate. I looked into reporting her to her certifying body, but (not surprisingly) none of this information (you know...her qualifications) could be found on her website, which was unbelievably out-of-date and no longer had accurate information. Most of the sessions were her talking AT me/us (my husband and I), not listening. She came across as incredibly unprepared and didn't remember what was discussed in previous sessions. Every session seemed like a re-hash of the same stuff because she couldn't bother to review her notes beforehand. I basically cancelled all appointments and ghosted her. She is manipulative, unprofessional and did not not care about me - that's for sure. One more thing that I feel is relevant, though not the reason for my negative review: she does not live in WA state. If you found her via a search engine and are hoping for in person therapy, you will not get it.

I've been to many therapists in my life, and Pamela is one of the best I've ever experienced. She's…read morecompassionate, she listens, and she is well versed in dealing with past trauma to help you cope with present stress and anxiety. Her practice is spiritually based, but since that's not my background, it has never come up, and I don't feel any pressure in any way, shape, or form from her. My therapy is very much tailored to who I am as a person and what I've experienced in my life. I couldn't recommend a therapist more highly than I do Pamela Pollock. I wish there were even more stars to give her.
