She has given me invaluable tools to cope with all of life's challenges. She not only helped this single mom, but my teenage son, my 8 year old and all the family issues that go with divorce, separation and child rearing. Always able to see me even on short notice. Lisa, your a gem and I would not have been able to get through what I have overcome without your assistance. I highly recommend Lisa to any person or family in need of therapy. Lisa, San Bruno, CA

My boyfriend actually found Kin at the beginning of this year. We started seeing Kin for couples…read moretherapy. I personally was very skeptical about therapy, especially after being unsuccessful in finding a therapist that was for me. We got so lucky, Kin being the first couples therapist we tried. His style of therapy was everything we needed. He never made the sessions feel one-sided. He always made sure to acknowledge both of our feelings but allowed us to understand each other. He gave us the tools to be successful in this relationship. We initially were seeing him every 2 weeks, then turned to 3, and 8 months later, we are finally in a place where we only need to schedule sessions as needed. We love how honest Kin has been throughout our journey. He held us accountable while not making us feel bad. I highly suggest Kin if you are seeking couples therapy :)

To me, Kin is both a therapist and a coach. Yes, he's easy to talk to and nonjudgmental which makes…read morehim a great therapist but he also has the ability to constructively point things out to me, just like a coach would, so I can learn to become a better person, husband, and father. He has such finesse that his feedback seems very genuine and supportive, and it makes me motivated to want to change. Another expectation you can have with Kin is he'll keep you honest and accountable, again, just like an athletic coach! He keeps it real and simple. For example, he doesn't just tell you to be more patient with your kids or be a better listener to your partner. Instead, he breaks it down for you so you know exactly what your blind spots are and what you need to do to achieve your goals. He keeps things concrete and practical so you won't get lost in the abstract. If you need a therapist, especially regarding your relationship, Kin is definitely the right person.

To me, she initially came across as a bit uninterested/judgmental/somewhat distant (as a couple other reviews mentioned) but I put that down to her personal style, i.e. she did not come across to me as some TV version of a warm, approachable, tell-me-anything therapist. But her expertise is evident over time.

I started seeing Rebecca when I was on Stanford Campus and she was working for the Counseling service there. I was having some personal issues which I won't detail here (nosy, aren't you?) and she helped me move forward with my life. I still check in with her when I'm having troubles and I've found her therapy very useful. Rebecca uses cognitive and behavioral therapy and really stresses mindfulness and awareness. I found this approach very useful. She's really good at arming you with tools that you can use going forward, rather than simple solutions to a current issue. As an added bonus she has later evening appointments which works great for folks with jobs and schedules that are hard to rearrange.

I originally looked on Yelp and read the reviews for Searching Pathways and Dr. Robert Mitchell. His outlined approach and the positive reviews matched exactly what I was looking for. My experience with our in-person therapy sessions has fully lived up to those expectations. Going into it, I wasn't entirely aware of all that I was "carrying." Dr. Mitchell created a safe, welcoming environment for me to unpack and resolve lingering issues in my present that were being influenced by my past. The people in my life and my relationships have noticed a genuinely positive impact, and I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done and the tools Dr. Mitchell has provided me. Working with him has been a very enriching and helpful experience. I highly recommend him!

Unfortunately, he could not help me, despite having this as a specialty on his website. We had two brief sessions and at the second session he said that I could not have ADHD since I've had a conventionally successful career and don't exhibit many of the hyperactive symptoms seen in textbook cases. He was fairly dismissive after I pushed him on why he could be so definite in his assessment, which was frustrating. I got two second opinions after Dr. Malik and they confirmed I exhibit many inattentive ADHD symptoms and should get a more comprehensive evaluation. Although he is a friendly person and I'm sure he means well, I cannot recommend him for ADHD testing unless you fit the typical hyperactive profile of someone with ADHD.

He left me addicted to Xanax, gave me no referrals to other psychiatrists, and told me that he was trying to 'scale down" his practice -- yet his voicemail says he is accepting new patients. Such an uncaring LIAR! Bottom line, this man is incompetent, a liar, a cruel person and simply a drug peddler. He doesn't care about you. Stay away from this quack! p.s. The new psychiatrist I finally found got me off of Xanax immediately with zero withdrawal symptoms.

I am giving him 3 stars instead of 5 because of the way he terminated me. He had encouraged me to go to a residential program after an unhelpful hospital admission. He even assured me, "Of course you can always fire me, but I am signed up to be your psychiatrist now." When I reached back out to him after the program, he fired me as his patient because my needs might be exceeding the scope of his practice. Of course that's his prerogative, but I was left hanging without access to my medications and without an outpatient psychiatrist, out of the blue. If my PCP won't refill my meds, I might have to go back to the hospital just to have access to my medications while I wait for an appointment with a new outpatient provider.
