I found Rose after stumbling upon her PsychologyToday page and website. Just reading her words on…read moreher sites touched my heart and soul. It hit my core. As a therapist in training, I was so curious about her and her journey that I gave her a call. That was a life-changing decision because now she's my mentor! She roots me on, sees my power and strength, and challenges me in the most loving way possible. She has guided me in understanding and empowering me to channel my most authentic self and as an Asian-American womxn in this white, patriarchal society. Her teachings stem not only from her inner wisdom but also from her personal experience and actions. She definitely practices what she preaches. She is living proof of inner strength, power, and love. Her heart and soul is so real, genuine, authentic, that I can feel my own heart and soul wanting to break through all its layers just so it can be with her. She truly brings the best out of me. She is an incredible role model to me, one that I wish all young Asian-American girls can experience. When I spend time with her, I leave feeling an energetic shift, like something inside of me is either rising to the surface, being healed, being seen, or being loved. Rose is a beautiful human being and a powerful healer. Words in this review cannot capture her impact on my life. You'll just have to experience her for yourself! ;)

I recently did EMDR therapy with Rosanna to help me recover from a work-related trauma. Rosanna is…read morevery empathetic and really helped me come through the process with a lot more self-empathy and compassion. Over a period of 2 months, I gradually went from being stuck in a burnout state to a new happier equilibrium in life, with refreshed perspectives on the past and future. In addition, she's very perceptive and her observations helped me gain more self-awareness, especially on how I generate and burn energy. I am very grateful to have worked with her through a difficult period of my life and would highly recommend her!

From the initial consultation to the session itself, I felt heard and supported, and Adrianna (as has been stated by others in their reviews) is magical. She is a wonderful listener, clearly cares deeply about her clients (in fact, I felt like I was her only client knowing full well that she has many), and she guided me through every step of the process. All in all, I can't recommend her highly enough.

And that's before you even get on the table! I am always able to drop in easily and deeply which is a rare occurrence for me given my overactive mind. But with Adrianna I just drift off somewhere else while she works her magic. When the session is over I feel like I've gone through a deep spiritual and energetic cleansing and reset. I'm walking out a lighter and more blissful human. Reiki was not a medicine I had considered powerful until I started working with Adrianna. Now I come back again and again to Adrianna's special medicine and it's an integral part of my health and wellness routine. She is truly gifted and so masterful in her craft, and she is so deeply committed to making sure you are taken care of - I always feel so safe and held in our sessions. Highly highly recommend working with her!

I found Marni.... mmmmmmmmm 8 years ago in her Oakland place of business, before the pandemic and…read moreshe transitioned to KAP. I am the type that cycles in and out of therapy during transition periods in my life. In addition to being a travel nurse, I move around a lot and have been with many therapists because of the licensing laws. All of that to say, Marni is the best of the best. Marni was present for two large transitions in my life where we did traditional talk therapy and KAP for the second. I found KAP therapy, conceptually, incredibly effective-if you give yourself to it. It brought up things that I didn't even realize I was upset about from childhood. Made connections for me that only 10 years of talk therapy could do in a single session. The medicine itself is incredibly intuitive, yet you still feel like you have a bit of direction in terms of what part of your psyche you want to deep dive. Marni, herself, I can't say enough amazing things about. SHE WAS BORN FOR THIS JOB! Truly all that is a healer-patient, kind, empathetic, soothing is Marni.

Working with Marni has truly been a transformative experience. Marni is a professional guide for…read morethose seeking self-awareness and improvement in their lives. She has a spiritual and empathetic presence, which for me fosters a reflective environment to explore my life situations. There is no "teacher-student" dynamic here. Instead, Marni provides subtle nudges in this direction or that, but you are the one who ultimately takes the steps toward deeper self-understanding. This does, however, require you to lean into the experience and approach it with respect. Whenever you do uncover a realization, her compassion shines through as she celebrates with you each step of the way. Equally important to me is the reserve of resources and tools that Marni provides, from community links to guides to book referrals to videos. It's not just theory. These are concrete and practical actions that I use in my day-to-day life, the results of which reflect themselves on a regular (if not daily) basis.

I went to see Patricia when I was experiencing some pretty debilitating anxiety. While I've gone to…read morea few "traditional " therapists over the years that have helped, no one has come close to helping me in the way that Patricia has. The hypnosis for me was more like a deep meditation (and everyone experiences it differently), and helped me realize I was holding on to unnecessary stress and guilt. She also gave me countless exercises and tips that I still use all the time. She honestly helped me realize that due to my anxiety, I was framing a lot of my experiences in a very negative light, and that was impacting my daily life. While I was skeptical about going at first, working with Patricia really, really helped me, and made a very positive impact on my life. I highly, highly recommend her!

Working with a theme of moving ahead and letting go, I felt a major breakthrough after our first session. Next day I drove alone on the freeway. A small triumph that meant a lot. Patricia was as excited as I was and was full of encouragement. .After another session I conquered Snake Road, one of the most narliest roads in Oakland. Each session made me feel more confident, even when there was a set back or two. Best of all, because of her generous nature,Patricia created a very special personal audio message. I listen whenever I need a little pick me up My sessions were relaxing and full of discoveries that cleared up some mysteries- you know like dating habits. It's not therapy but it is nicely cathartic. I'm not a woo woo type person but working with Patricia was one of my most moving spiritual experiences. Do it. You'll be glad.

When I started working with Nova I was new to therapy (and nervous about it) and she made me feel so safe and supported. She has supported me through some really difficult life transitions and helped me navigate the emotional challenges of living with a chronic illness. Nova is incredibly wise, insightful, and truly cares. She also provides extremely valuable resources. I have learned so much from her. I feel so lucky to have Nova in my life and working with her has been such a gift -- she's helped me grow in ways I never imagined. She is not only your therapist, she is your biggest advocate and best friend. I can't recommend her highly enough, I would rate her a 10 out of 5 stars if I could!!

I always felt supported and cared for with her, and she skillfully helped me come to the heart of some very tender and essential issues. Pamela strikes a wonderful balance between gentle, attentive presence and loving encouragement to engage in new explorations and skill sets. She seems to bring an intuitive understanding of people - something I'm sure was honed by her decade as a body worker before she became a therapist - and her somatic approach to therapy is deeply effective. Thankfully she also weaves her wonderful sense of humor throughout the process; after all, what is Life about if we can't laugh! Working with Pamela was hands down the most valuable investment I've made in my life. I will always carry with me the perspective, self-insight, and skills I gained working together. Greater understanding of, and love for, the self opens up a whole new world of being.

I had a good first year with Marenka before things went harmfully haywire. One year into our…read moretherapeutic relationship, I experienced an agonizing breakup that intensified my emotional reactivity. During this and another crisis, Marenka responded to me in ways that were unprofessional and immensely damaging to my wellbeing. In response to my hyper-verbal grieving, Marenka attempted to slow me down by "coming in hot" and "getting experimental" (her words). She dismissed my repeated requests to revisit insights I'd begun processing in a previous session, telling me she didn't believe I really wanted to discuss it due to my ADHD-fueled processing style (jumping from one concern to the next). Though I assured her I was serious about it (this being the third time I'd brought it up), she continued to refuse. When I responded angrily to this dismissal, she asked me if I had spoken to my ex in the same way. This sent me out of her office. We eventually recovered from this rupture, and Marenka encouraged me to continue providing feedback about my experience of our sessions and therapeutic relationship. A few months later, I was in a work-related quagmire that stirred up some nasty toxic stress for me. I was experiencing a sharp uptick in CPTSD symptoms and needed acute support. I asked for Marenka's help figuring out how to navigate triggering communications with my coworkers, and I shared that I'd begun experiencing suicidal ideations again. Marenka never asked questions about my ideations and said, while shrugging, that she wondered who could help me with the work comms. Marenka's harmful response to my ADHD overstimulation and difficulties regulating my attention and emotions became even more aggressive during this time. While I rapidly cycled through chaotic verbal processing about my work stress, Marenka became irritated and yelled at me: "what is so hard about slowing down?!" I felt as though my ADHD got in her way, which is a shitty way to feel when I go to therapy to, in part, figure out how to manage my ADHD symptoms. During another session around this time, I tried to share an insight with Marenka that I thought was important. She cut me off mid-illustration to let me know, exasperatedly, that I didn't need to rehash "the whole thing." Marenka became defensive and dismissive when I shared my concerns about these issues. Rather than respond to my feedback, she announced that we should terminate therapy altogether. When I asked her to respond to my feedback, she said she would only do so if I proved to her that I cared for her well-being. In addition to centering herself in her work as a therapist, Marenka seems unaware of the power imbalance between therapists and their patients/clients. She also does not take seriously the social contexts that condition mental illness and wellness. Throughout our sessions, she consistently disavowed the socio-political container in which relationships occur, insisting, time and time again, that my male partner's shirking of domestic labor was not a gendered issue. Finally, despite my requests (from jump) to work though racialized trauma that contributes to my chronic pain and emotional dysregulation, Marenka alleged, at the end of our time together, that she was unaware of this dimension of my experience and of my desire to center it in therapy. I would NOT recommend Marenka to BIPOC or ND folks.
