As a psychiatrist, I worked with Eugenie Hsu for many years at Kaiser Oakland. I was impressed with…read moreher understanding of people, her non-judgmental approach to whomever she was working with, her sense of balance, her empathy and, not least, her quiet sense of humor, something that can help people manage some of the absurdities of life and their own difficulties. She listens with a keen ear and brings her self into the room. I refer to her in her private practice because she has helped a number of my patients get past some quite traumatic experiences. Of course, not everyone is a perfect fit for anyone, but it's worth the time to talk with her and see if she's a fit.

Dr. Hsu helped us with very complex family issues, that, over the course of our counseling, we came…read moreto understand more deeply after each session. I really liked that she asked us to prepare for our sessions by thinking through questions that she felt would be appropriate to probe into. It allowed us to collect our thoughts, hear each other's point of view and find the root causes of what drove us apart. Dr.Hsu (who prefers we call her by her first name, as she is not that formal) is so helpful in that she is so good about acknowledging how that person is feeling, even though they cannot articulate those feelings. She is incredibly empathetic and makes her clients feel she understands their feelings while still posing questions to help the individual come to their own awareness of the problem, and what factors are contributing to that problem. Once it is thoroughly diagnosed, she challenges the individual to express what resolution they would want to see, so they take ownership of the solution and so that they hopefully will be able to come to closure when the resolution takes place. We had the opportunity to include one of our children in a few of these counseling sessions -- something I thought would take a highly skilled person to handle -- and the sessions went as well as I could have expected. Each person was given their forum to be heard and to hear. We are making slow but steady progress and it is due to Eugenie that this has been possible. Thank you Eugenie!

Ordinarily I am able to pull myself out but this time I just couldn't seem to regain my peace and find my self respect on my own and I thought of Jill. She is by far one of the most encouraging and inspiring teachers I have ever known and she really came through for me. In less than an hour she guided me back to my center. A week later I was so happy that I was still in peace regardless of circumstances that I wrote her an email acknowledging her loving support. This is what I wrote: It's only been a week but I am still living in the peace that conversation with you brought to me. I just want to thank you again, and in writing, for your instant, loving response to my call for help. You really helped me to shift spaces. In particular you were firm in reminding me of my identity as a light worker not the powerless victim I was stuck thinking about. I think about you and what you shared with me every day, several times a day, and it helps me remember how truly blessed I am to have people like you and your family in my life. Go Light Workers! So, once again, thank you, sister. I am not cowering in fear but smiling in the light. Have a really good weekend! If you are in the mood to be kind to yourself I highly recommend applying to Jill for support! Her heart is huge and her understanding broad. She shares herself freely and if you can be at all receptive you will feel transformed! Thank you, Jill! Kathy W.

As much as I resonate with the infinite wisdom of Esther Hicks and her wonderful, uplifting work…read morewith Abraham, I have found it challenging to personally implement their teachings in my human life. That's where Jill Lebeau, spiritual psychotherapist comes in! When I first read her book, Feng Shui Your Mind: Four Easy Steps to Rapidly Transform Your Life, I recognized immediately that it was the "user's guide" needed for the practical application of infinite wisdom to actual real life situations. My personal therapy sessions with Jill have lead to what she likes to call rapid transformation, but I like to call it Powerful Alchemy! She helped me change my thinking around some key challenges in my life that were holding me back from the kind of Soul growth I was longing to experience. I was shocked how easily my vibration shifted as we casually chatted in her office and suddenly I was deeply appreciating something that had felt like a major stumbling block to me. When I attended one of Jill's events, a Sacred Gathering for Awakening Souls, the gathering felt like a great remembering, as if I were waking from amnesia.  When I signed up for the session, I wasn't even sure exactly what was bothering me, but I knew that I didn't feel as happy as I used to, and I knew that Jill's wonderful, uplifting, cheerful energy would provide a boost to my positivity powers.  I was absolutely right! I had been living in darkness and Jill reminded me how to relight the fire in my Soul! She reminded me that self-love is the foundation of happiness, and that at the core of my being, there is Divine love, and light and joy. Thank you Jill, for reminding me how awesome I am! And as wonderful as all of that sounds, I was truly blown away when I discovered Jill's online Feng Shui Your Mind course last month! https://www.udemy.com/feng-shui-your-mind-body-spirit This WONDERFUL, inspiring class takes practical application of Divine wisdom to the next level. Jill, and co-creator Michelle Dwyer, have designed a beautiful gift for awakening souls that enhances our journey and very much fills the role of "midwife" as we labor to give birth to our true selves; fully connected to Divine Spirit. The class breaks down Jill's "Four Easy Steps" into smaller bites that are delicious to savor. The recordings are uplifting and easy to follow. It inspires me when they share examples of overcoming their own challenges. I find it tremendously helpful that Michelle Dwyer is a health coach and nutrition consultant, so lots of the examples throughout the recordings and activities address one of my personal issues; choosing nourishing foods over comfort foods. The "playbook" (not 'workbook') is full of fun and easy "Feng Shui Fixes" that I explore in depth for as long as I like before moving on to the next recording and more fun, easy ways to play myself into higher vibrations! I have rapidly learned how to increase my personal energy instead of depleting it with cluttered, miserable thoughts. I have found new enthusiasm for my personal eating plan simply because I stopped thinking of it as "restricted and deprived and lacking" and decided that it is a sacred commitment to my self-love that I deserve. I was feeling powerless in so many little ways and now I feel empowered and far more confident than I did just two weeks ago. I didn't even realize that my spirit was feeling like a dried up old raisin, and now it feels like a big juicy mango! Jill is an astounding resource for anyone that wants to live life in a more fulfilling way. I highly recommend all of her services with enthusiasm!

Sometimes these belief systems hold us back, and we get stuck in patterns that we would like to outgrow. My mother's death and a few years later, my cancer diagnosis, left me wounded and suffering emotionally and physically. I have always been reluctant to see a therapist as discussing my troubles ad nauseam doesn't work for me. Danielle's approach is brief and wonderfully effective. If you bring to Danielle a genuine willingness to be open and vulnerable, she can and will help you help yourself to make meaningful and significant changes in your life. This is not talking therapy in which over the course of many months or even years, you recount every thing that ever happened to you from the day you were born. Instead Danielle makes good use of your time by quickly helping you identify what you'd like to improve in your life and gets down to the business of helping you fix it. I felt such a cathartic release and weight off my shoulders after the first time I saw her I wanted to go back the next day. On my second visit, she was able to help me alleviate a physical pain I had been experiencing for months. I am deeply grateful for her wisdom and skill and compassion. She is one of a kind and I sincerely believe she has a healing gift.
