Awful experience, totally unprofessional. My girlfriend had an appointment for 9am. We were running…read morelate so we called Melissa Bravo on her cell phone and told her to expect us in about 10 minutes. She was rude on the phone and was talking over my girlfriend, who was just trying to get the suite number. We took this as a bad sign to begin with, that a licensed psychologist can't manage to be polite over the phone. Then we pull into the parking lot 10 minutes later and receive a call from Melissa, saying there won't be time for the appointment!!??!!. She suggested, since were already there, that we fill out the paperwork and reschedule. She was snappy on the phone, and yet again and had an attitude. As a psychologist, she should learn to be polite to people with mental health problems. It seems like this counselor has some problems of her own. My girlfriend was super nice and understanding over the phone, but the counselor refused to see us simply because we were 15 minutes late. I would not be so upset, except for the fact WE CALLED BEFORE WE CAME. So she made us waste the trip, refused to see us and was rude to top it off. I would not trust Melissa Bravo to complete a simple task, yet alone trust her with someone's mental health. Judging by the way she runs her business, THIS IS NOT SOMEBODY YOU WANT TO TAKE ADVISE FROM! BEWARE!

A mark of a great teacher/instructor is the ability to "see" if your student is not understanding but if the teacher has the breadth of life experiences they can reach into their bag/tools and try another method or an analogy which the student understands. It takes a truly confident person to acknowledge when a strategy isn't working, and has the flexibility to try another tactic. Joan has knowledge, wisdom, and a sensiblity. She knows her craft well.

Jo-e has done more for me than any health professional I've seen, combined…read more She's played the roles of therapist, health counselor and life coach for me all at the same time. I was in one of my cycles of depression when I saw someone recommend her in a facebook group. I've been seeing her for a year since then and my mental state and health have improved immensely. My deep depression has not come back since seeing her and when I feel myself inching back to that place I schedule a session with Jo-e and one hour later I feel like I've gotten a tune-up and more tools to use in my life. We've been working on my generalized anxiety and stress management over time. She's worked with me diligently on my health, which is what she proved was important to work on first. I had been exhausted to the point of tears for about 8-9 years with no answers on how to fix it from any doctors. One doctor told me "most women are tired". Anyway, after adding carefully selected vitamins and supplements to my schedule, changing some habits and new tools for dealing with stress and anxiety, I had relief for the first time and actually had energy. I stopped the vitamins suddenly at one point and the exhaustion came back. We've continued to work on my sinuses and digestion, as well. She knows her stuff. Jo-e also helped me establish a better foundation for my marriage and I think saved us from a lot of turbulence in the future by helping me find stability and a healthier way of expressing myself. My mom told me "I finally got back my daughter from before" and she was referring to my happy and positive self from before I was 13 years old (I'm 29 now, for reference)! Thank you for helping me be more "me", Jo-e.

5 Stars just isn't enough! Jo-e deserves more!…read more Before I met Jo-e, I seen about 3 or 4 therapist about depression, anxiety and family trauma. Those session were ok, but it was nothing like the sessions I had with Jo-e. When it comes to opening up about your personal life, it can be difficult to be vulnerable and trust someone with your life problems. From the first session I knew Jo-e was my go to personal health/life coach! I was finally comfortable opening up and expressing my personal mental health problems to someone. When it came to sessions, Jo-e always dug deep into my roots to see where exactly my problems sprouted from. Me, being a direct person, she always made sure to tell me what I NEEDED to hear not what I WANTED to hear. We started working on the food I ate and what I put into my body to fuel my soul. You wouldn't want to put cheap gas into a Ferrari would you? Exactly. I focused on eating cleaner which gave me the energy the get through my daily activities and not be so drained at the end of my day. The type of ENERGY I'm talking about it MENTAL ENERGY. I literally felt better MENTALLY, just by eating cleaner food. Food is one thing, but we also focused on being in the present. Jo-e guided me in practicing mediating, gratitude, and living my life at this very second. Not living in the past nor living in the future. She gave me the tools and exercises to work with that I would have never even thought about on my own. I started from having it all, but being miserable at the same time. I had an amazing career in the aerospace industry, but hated life. Great Job, benefits, medical insurance, stocks, everything you name it. My personal time was very limited and depression came along, so I reached out to Jo-e. I was single for the longest time, thinking love wasn't meant for me. I had a passion in Film/Photography, but was too scared to make the life changing risk. Jo-e was my quarterback to get through this depression. I practiced everything she taught me, ate most of what she recommended to me, and most of all practiced and accepted that I am enough. I'm enough for myself, others and the world. Today, I'm a freelance videographer, I live life on my own time, I having a beautiful girlfriend that I love, I eat cleaner, and my mental health is better than it has EVER, ever been before. Do I need to say more? Mic Drop....
