I dreaded taking the FAA required 8-hour psyche evaluation and cog screen testing to determine if I…read morewas medically qualified to have a pilot license. It turned out to be a valuable learning experience and an interesting challenge - because of the caring, compassionate environment created by Dr. Waterworth. I'd called three HIMS trained psychologists to ask about the process and their testing timeline: Dr. Waterworth was the only one to return my call within a day, and she did so personally. (I heard back from office managers of the others after a 3 week delay). This was the first indication I was in the right place, with a professional who truly cares about her clients. Dr. Waterworth immediately established trust and respect with me through her communication and explained that she breaks down the testing into two consecutive half-days. This approach allowed me to relax and refresh my mind before the second battery of tests, which I believe was instrumental in helping me do well. I highly recommend you do this if you need a HIMS evaluation - I cannot imagine sitting down for 8 hours in one session - it doesn't set you up for success. If you're dreading the cog screen, relax just a bit. Dr. Waterworth will put you at ease, and the testing itself is just not the beast it's made out to be. Do pay careful attention to all the instructions - but don't lose sleep dreading the test ;-) Go online and do a free trial at one of the brain training sites just to get you in "test" mode - but don't go overboard - you really can't study for this test. Get a good night of sleep, eat breakfast and exercise before your appointment - you'll be fine. I live in Alaska but chose to fly down to San Francisco to do the testing with Dr. Waterworth. I am so glad I did - it was well worth the use of frequent flier miles. I stayed nearby at the Presidio Lodge - a 5 minute drive from her office and a chance to enjoy two days with my spouse in a beautiful location. Most importantly, Dr. Waterworth treated me with respect, kindness and compassion throughout all phases of the process. I am so grateful to have found her.

Next I went in for the actual evaluation, which she made as pleasant as possible. Finally, she produced a report which I sent in to the FAA and I just today got my medical, certifying that I don't have ADHD! She communicated clearly what was expected of me and what the FAA expected of me, which really helps make the whole process more transparant and comfortable to go through.

He is usually available for urgent needs, which do come up. But he has no receptionist nor does he work in a clinic where someone else can help. So on those rare occasions when he is away from communication devices, or scheduled back-to-back, then he is absolutely not available. This happened to me once over the past ten years seeing him, and it is what happens when you work with a human being instead of an institution. All in all, I feel lucky to have him as my doctor. So I give him a five star rating based on years and years of experience with him and others before him.

His practice was thriving for a reason. I saw him during a time of transition in my life from one career to another, prior to my becoming a licensed psychologist. There's a particular orientation that Dr. F utilizes, just like all psychotherapists have their method. It's referred to as our theoretical orientation. No psychotherapist is going to be helpful to every person they meet. Dr. Fishman is a dedicated and highly skilled clinician.

Desperation led me to Brac, but I wasn't seeking help for myself…read more Like most people, I had no ability to relieve the anguish my 20-year-old son was enduring. Clinical depression and its cohorts, anxiety and insomnia, had a seemingly unbreakable grip on him. His suffering and torment had taken him to the depth of hopelessness and was completely foreign to me. Watching him suffer so immensely was unbearable for his mother and me. The evil illness was destroying me, but I erroneously believed I was doing everything I could to help him. He was seeing a psychiatrist and was taking many pills. Typical. I was naive. Totally oblivious that his life was becoming more engulfed as each day passed. Eventually, depression and insomnia grew dissatisfied and bored. The suffering was not meeting expectations, so psychosis was invited to participate in their master plan. With its arrival, additional destruction was waged against the already devastated young man's psyche. The torment was immeasurable. I stood watching my son languish in a living hell for five years, hoping the combination of a psychiatrist and pills would stabilize him. It hadn't. He was worse. My son's will to live had diminished to a point where he could no longer find strength to hide the depth of his misery. If something didn't change, I knew a suicide attempt was imminent. I recognized the path of treatment I had chosen for my son was literally a dead-end. Unwilling to allow that chapter to be written with the pen in my hand, I began searching the entire world for a miracle. After countless hours of research and investigation, I made two decisions in an effort to save my son's life. First, my son was treated for depression using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. I believe this treatment saved my son's life by annihilating the severe clinical depression he was suffering from. It was amazing. After just a few sessions, the chains of clinical depression were finally broken while anxiety and insomnia were greatly reduced. We had hope for the first time. Second, I sought a therapist that was well versed in the concepts, teachings, exercises and techniques known as Cognitive Behavior Therapy as presented by David D. Burns MD. in his book, The Feeling Good Handbook. Through Dr. Burns' website, I learned of the Intensive T.E.A.M. Therapy concept. I also learned that a few very dedicated, fortunate (and I speculate, 'brilliant') therapists work closely with Dr. Burns. They meet every week as a group to hone their skills and share their individual real-life experiences with each other in an effort to continue to make progress in their pursuit of restoring lives. The T.E.A.M Therapy website led me, and ultimately my son, to a truly amazing and effective therapist. The therapist is Brac Selph. Brac's compassion and willingness to help my son was a miracle. Brac even gave up personal days normally spent with his family to be available. He spent nearly 40 hours of therapy over a four-week-period with my son. Very fortunately, both myself and my son's mother were able to interact with Brac and we attended several sessions. We were amazed at Brac's abilities and the level of expertise he exhibits. In simple terms: Brac is to psychology what Jordan was to the NBA. Yes, he is that good. Astounding! Brac's sessions are well balanced with humor and seriousness. Upon leaving, you realize Brac orchestrated a tremendous mental workout. He masterfully covers so much, you feel exhausted. However, it's a very satisfying exhaustion. Having spent a small fortune on numerous marriage counselors, I learned even a bad therapist can shine for a session or two. However, a therapist that spends forty hours with a patient in just four weeks has to be phenomenal for the patient to declare that he wishes the sessions were not over upon returning home after living out of a suitcase for a month. The therapist must be incredible to have the patient walk away with such a strong grasp of the concepts taught that he can teach others in need. Brac helped my son understand and truly use the skills of CBT to change his thoughts and live his life with knowledge and without fear. In summary, Brac has unmatched skills and is very wise. Brac has a relentless desire to help and listens more intently than any therapist I have ever met. Brac is the epitome of compassion and understanding and is far more than a therapist. I highly recommend this man. My son recently began using a devise created by two NASA scientists called the Fisher-Wallace Device. After 3 days, the impossible was witnessed. Finally, it was as if he was fully awakened. Use of this device for 3 months has resulted in a complete miracle. Three weeks ago, he discontinued all medications and is doing fantastic. I was skeptical and waited a year before ordering the device. I regret that mistake. I strongly recommend the FDA Approved Fisher Wallace Device. It has been a miracle!

His openness towards other forms of healing outside of the allopathic is ahead of its time. Appointments are easy to schedule and the office staff are very organized.

I've worked with Paul both individually and with my partner in a few stints over the years. I feel…read moredeeply grateful for the care and compassion he's treated me with. Paul is a deeply empathetic soul, kind, perceptive, insightful, and does all of this while avoiding the cliches of psychotherapy that have always been a turnoff for me. He doesn't just sit there and listen and nod -- he's an active part of the conversation, offering suggestions and interpretations that are so helpful. Paul has a large tool box that's he's been developing over the years, and one of the things I've enjoyed about working with him is that he's not afraid to push a little, change things up, and try different modalities in order to keep things moving forward and feeling fresh. In our individual work I felt deeply seen, felt, and understood. And I can safely say that my relationship with my wife is as good as it's ever been in no small part due to our work with Paul. He's really helped us to approach our relationship with an open heart, empathy, and given us so many tools to help with listening to each other and navigating conflict. I'm very grateful to have met Paul, and for my work with him.

I have had the privilege of working with Paul intermittently as an individual and with my partner…read more As a result of his effort I have developed the emotional resilience required to salvage my career, my marriage, and my relationship with myself. As a result of an objectively difficult early childhood my emotions were stunted to that of a traumatized child. My attempts to address this with the assistance of therapists have typically ended in the same result: a termination based on an inability for my therapist and myself to have the courage and respect required to move past anger and into true emotions. Paul is one of two therapists who has not told me that they were unable or unwilling to help me work with me. More telling: he is the only therapist that my wife, also a mental health professional, trusts to help us with our own relationship. It is bittersweet to say aloha to Paul. If you have the courage to engage in a relationship with him in an authentic way you will understand the not so subtle difference between feelings and emotions. I recommend him with no hesitation. And I hope to never see him again
