We would give 10 stars if we could!…read more My wife and I turned to Mighty Oak Coaching as we were struggling to effectively communicate and work through some big life decisions. We worked with Emel for several months. What we found most valuable was the techniques she taught us to process and understand our own emotions as well as each other's. When we first started, we didn't realize the benefits we would see crossing over in other areas of our lives. It's personally helped me improve my communication and relationships with colleagues and friends. We always felt better after our sessions with Emel because of the way she guided and supported us during our sessions. Overall, we're able to process our stress and anxiety in healthy ways and work through issues much quicker and with positive results. We're so grateful!

After meeting with her, we feel encouraged, supported, and optimistic about the healing work ahead. Caree is an excellent therapist from what I can tell, and I genuinely feel that we are in good hands.

My partner and I have grown so much through our work with her. She helps us slow down, see our patterns, communicate more honestly, and actually understand each other. Every session feels supportive, straightforward, and deeply insightful. What I appreciate most is how safe she makes the room feel. She stays present, attuned, and genuinely invested. You can feel that she wants you to succeed; not just as a couple, but as individuals trying to show up better for yourselves and each other. Working with her has grounded our relationship in ways we didn't even realize we needed. I'm so grateful we found her. If you're looking for a couples therapist who is wise, compassionate, and isn't afraid to tell the truth with love... go see Caree. She's truly exceptional.

He told me that I was a great patient for hypnotherapy.. having a serious issue resolved in the most part in one session.

I am a total believe in hypnotherapy so I looked for someone in the east bay and Gerry was one of several practitioners I tried. Unfortunately, her session did nothing for any of the issues I came in for. I'm glad that others I belng helped by Gerry.. goes to show that people will be helped by different hypnotherapists.

I was met with an air of superiority that immediately set the tone for our session. He seemed intent on asserting their dominance and belittling my concerns. He displayed a shocking lack of empathy, dismissing my feelings and experiences with a callousness that was both hurtful and inappropriate. He was eager to impose their own opinions and judgments without regard for my perspective. What truly stood out was his blatant condescension. He spoke to me as if I were a child, using patronizing language and tone that made me feel small and insignificant. It was as though they viewed themselves as superior beings, looking down on me from a pedestal of self-righteousness. Robert demonstrated a complete disregard for boundaries and professional ethics. I was subjected to a barrage of negativity and disrespect. I don't know why he thinks he can treat people like this.

I first reached out to Kevin Kuhlow nearly three years ago to seek help with alcohol dependence…read more As a working professional, I did not feel like some of the other recovery programs out there were the right fit for me. Alcohol had, however, begun to have a negative impact on my life and marriage, and I desperately wanted to break free of the grip that alcohol dependence had on me. Through weekly one-on-one meetings with Kevin and later men's group meetings, I began to better understand myself and how I had come to rely on alcohol as a tool to deal with a wide variety of life experiences. What had started as a seemingly enjoyable social activity in high school and college had become an unmanageable nuisance in my life as I neared 40 years old. I had come to depend on it as a necessity for everything from celebrating, trying to relax/unwind, trying to blow off steam from work stress, or just generally trying to ignore my problems like finances, personal insecurities, self-doubt, etc. As it turns out, it was not a very effective tool for managing any of those things. My counselling sessions with Kevin have equipped me with all of the tools and strategies used by some of the world's top performers to achieve success in business, finance, athletic performance, and physical/mental health. We actually don't talk too much about alcohol in most sessions. It is more about goal-setting, identifying and pursuing the things you are passionate about, communication, honesty, checking in with yourself, and learning to recognize and appropriately manage stress and difficult situations. I am proud to say that I am nearly three years alcohol-free today and have grown more as a person and experienced a much more fulfilling life in that time than ever before. I have found renewed passion and sense of purpose in many activities such as running, rockhounding, photography, camping, fishing, reading, and spending much higher-quality time with family and friends. It has been a profound paradigm-shift in my life and I feel like I am exactly where I am supposed to be and doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing with my life. I feel like I am finally on the outside looking in on my previous self and have no desire to return to that way of life. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Kevin for all I have accomplished in the last three years, who I am today, and the future I now envision.

Whitney is all of the things I needed in a therapist but never experienced. I wasn't so sure after…read moreour first session if I'd be returning for a second as she offered something I wasn't ready to accept- someone who accepted me as me and created a loving, safe place for me to just be me. We joke about it all these years later, but coming back for those follow up sessions would be exactly what I needed and truthfully, what I was lacking in my life. Whitney embodies compassion, care, empathy, and love and provides the safety of allowing me to show up as I am on any given day ready to help me unpack whatever I bring her. I came to her at a point in my life when I had shattered as a person. She has been by my side through some incredibly challenging times and there isn't anyone else that I would want in my corner when life happens. Whitney is an incredible therapist. If you are looking for someone who will see you as you are, accept you as you are, and who will walk by your side as you navigate the triumphs and challenges life throws at you, she is the one you need. I think she's pretty amazing and am thankful for her every day.

After a whirlwind of an 8 years in which…read moreI lost some of the most important people in my life, in addition to the pandemic and the ramifications of it, I knew it was time to seek help. I tried one avenue, but it just didn't work. So I went on a search for a different therapist. And that search went on day after day, hour after hour. I spoke to some, but nothing ever felt like it was the right fit. Until one day, when I was feeling defeated, I stumbled upon Whitney. I took a look at her website and read her reviews and felt hopeful for the first time in days. From the moment I first spoke to Whitney, I knew she was the one to help me. Two years later, and I can say with absolute certainty that choosing Whitney to be my therapist was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Whitney is compassionate, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. She knows how to create a warm, comfortable and supportive environment where you feel safe to tell her all your thoughts and feelings. She's patient and kind, and never gives up on finding ways to help you. She has been such a positive light in my life, and has helped me overcome so much. While I'm still a work in progress, it's all thanks to Whitney that I have made it this far. And that is why I recommend and will always recommend Whitney. If you're looking for someone to help you get back onto the path to happiness, you've found her.

Twice in recent years I have faced situations in my life in which the path forward was terribly…read moreunclear and seemed impossible for me to figure out. Big things. Both times I met with Helene and explained my situation. She listened and then did an amazing job of challenging some assumptions I didn't even realize I was making, and some dogmatic views I was mired in, as they related to some self-imposed limits that were the real root of my confusion about what to do. Literally within minutes, after she showed me a different way to look at my situation, the confusion melted away and the path forward became so much more clear. There was still work for me to do to get where I wanted to go, but I had new clarity about what it was. It's impossible to fully articulate my respect, admiration, and gratitude for Helene Schneider. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone who is struggling with change, fear, anxiety, stress, or debilitating dogma. She cuts through these things gently but thoroughly. She is truly remarkable at what she does.
