I got to a point where I needed more, something else, and felt I needed a female therapist. Thru a few phone calls and referrals, I landed on Katie's couch and I now realize that my former therapist was only preparing me for the work I'm doing with her. She uses quite a few techniques that I can pick out but the most important ones are that she's a keen listener, very intuitive and relies a lot on the somatic approach. Meaning, when you talk to her, she will watch your body language as well as listen to your words. She also points out when my voice changes or when I seem to have enthusiasm about something that I didn't notice. She's also helped me release some old tension by getting me to draw it out - I ended up with scissors and a needle and thread creating something that I was ready to get rid of - it was amazing for both of us that day. Katie is a true gift in my life and if you're here, looking her up to see if you should go with that referral you got - call her now. If you're just cruising around looking for a therapist, you've just found an excellent one. Call her - talk to her - let her help you. :)

I am so impressed by the work she is doing with her clients around parenting issues. She is THE person I think of when I come across a parent in need of support because she gets it on a level that not many can comprehend. Elizabeth leads a group for therapists who are moms, helping women balance the giving nature of therapeutic work with the giving nature of motherhood and find ways to take care of themselves in the process. I can't think of anyone better to support women on this journey. Therapist, mother, writer, editor, entrepreneur, conveniently located downtown, I have no doubt Elizabeth is the lady for anyone looking to transform their relationship to themselves and the people they love.

My husband and I were at a very low point in our marriage where we could not agree on a path forward. My husband was happy with our one child and I wanted a larger family. We discussed this before we got married, but as we got older and experienced infertility struggles my husband changed his mind. I was devastated. Elizabeth validated my feelings when I didn't receive much support from my family and friends. She also taught me how to communicate better with my husband and eventually encouraged us to go to marriage counseling to work through our issues, which we did. I continued one-on-one therapy with Elizabeth as well. I always felt heard and supported with every session I had with Elizabeth. It was like speaking to my best friend with no judgment, only genuine compassion. She gave me the courage to continue fighting for my dream and find a path to happiness. We are now pursuing options to expand our family and this could not have happened without her guidance and support. Elizabeth is a talented, gifted and caring therapist (no, friend) who is changing peoples lives for the better everyday. I feel so lucky that I found her when I was at one of the lowest points in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for me and my family! If you are looking for a therapist that will help you navigate a difficult time and change your life for the better, look no further. You will not regret seeing Elizabeth. Give her a call!

Erica creates a warm, reassuring and thoroughly safe space in her beautifully decorated office. With some well planned exercises and her own willingness to be vulnerable, Erica creates an environment in which all participants feel comfortable to unpack buried feelings and share honest reflections. There were tears, there was laughter, there was poetry and art, and there was a deep feeling of community, among a group of people who started the evening as strangers. I cannot recommend the experience more highly. I came away from both sessions with new insights and new empathy for myself and those around me. Best $20 you'll ever spend!

She and I were able to swiftly work through some deep-seated issues and mindsets around fear and scarcity using EMDR. I had not experienced EMDR before, but found it to be a very efficient modality which allowed access into (and through) outdated storied and old traumas. Prabha is a very refreshing therapist in that she's not afraid to provide her frank appraisal of your situation, based on what she's hearing from you. She provides plenty of space for you and your process, but also isn't afraid to reflect back a clear point of view. I have no patience for clinicians who are overly passive, and I've struggled with this in the past- I don't need to hear banal reflections like "that sounds hard;" I'm already aware! Prabha is NOT like this, and will tell it like it is, which I really appreciate. I definitely recommend working with her if you're curious about EMDR, and if you're looking for a true thought partner to help you work through your situation.

I do not recommend Prabha's practice if a callous and unkind demeanor would reduce the quality of…read moreyour experience. I had a terrible, terrible onboarding experience. I had scheduled an EMDR session, for which in hindsight I see now that I should have observed her cold/short communication as a harbinger of things to come. Fast forward to the day of my appointment, and a very rare emergency caused me to be meaningfully late to our first appointment. Not a great introduction on my part, I know... so I did everything I could to show respect and apologize to Prabha. I emailed first 15 minutes before my start time with notice of my long delay and sincerest apologies, and also provided my forms electronically in advance to allow her time to review. I didn't get a reply, but instead a stern email about my absence. I kindly replied to this new message apologizing again and asking her if she's read my two messages sent before (advance notice of delay and forms). No reply from her on this either. I send one more message asking if we can at least finish the meeting slot via Zoom, which I understood her practice to also offer, so we could at least finish my on boarding this way. In the meantime, I also pre-paid at this point for my meeting, despite not yet being asked to pay. I'm going out of my way because I felt really bad about having been late. In this message, I also asked alternatively if the other time she had originally offered for the same day might still be available for us to hold as a backup. After all the above, I get a series of diatribes and lectures from her, scolding me, with lots of repetition, for my tenacity in being late, for asking for a different time, for asking for a late Zoom change, and dictating I need to pay twice for such a change even if the time were available. I was really, really turned off by this, but decided after a few days that given my invested time in this already, I'd give one more go at this after she asked if I want to schedule again. Keep in mind I fully paid for my first session already, despite being completely ignored and receiving no service, and I didn't so much as mention or complain about this. I sent her a reply after her further unkind emails that came later, and do my best to ignore how I had been treated to-date, and still tried to offer a "I truly respect your time despite what happened" message at the end, to which she latched onto again, indicating I clearly didn't respect her time, otherwise I wouldn't have asked to change the venue, I wouldn't have asked if another time was available, and so on. Bottom line: I was wrong and made a mistake. But the treatment I received was despicable and showed the true colors I believe one can expect here. She never so much as acknowledged her own neglect and oversight in missing my sent emails in advance, and in fact had the tenacity to proclaim they went to her spam folder, which was a rather disappointing lie, given they were replies to the same email thread for which she received every single message I sent, and even replied to all within 1-2 hours of receipt. For someone providing various forms of therapy, this was far from therapeutic. I suspect from the other reviews she must be good at what she does. But like the soup kitchen on Seinfeld, sometimes you have to pay a heavy price for quality. In this case, receiving poor treatment seeking treatment.
