This review is way overdue. I highly recommend Alex for couples counseling. He literally saved our…read morerelationship. Before we met Alex, we were 5 years into our relationship and starting to struggle with very difficult situations that were pulling us apart. These were made worse with our opposing introvert/extrovert needs. Neither of us had strong role models in our family for successful relationships, and we were at a turning point. We were very serious about who we chose to help us. All of the therapists we interviewed before Alex had somewhat of a cookie-cutting approach to couples therapy. We felt that we could've gotten some of their info from reading a book. However from the first time we spoke with Alex, it was easy for us to agree that he was the right therapist for us. Alex treated us as individual people and an individual couple. His approach is empathetic, thoughtful, and calm. He pays attention to every detail and is tactful in all of his communication. You will see this starting from his intake form. In our sessions, he gave equal time to both of us. We did many session exercises to become aware of our individual needs. Many of the revelations surprised us and without his help, I'm not sure we would have ever discovered on our own. And he was exceptionally skilled in guiding us through difficult discussions. We were able to share scary thoughts, sometimes laughter, and sometimes tears (mostly I cried) as we became closer and more connected to each other, in each session and afterwards. My partner and I also made notes after each session, because we're both nerdy...but more importantly because we knew the information we had learned was gold. After a few months of weekly sessions, Alex told us we had made enough progress that it wasn't necessary to see him weekly anymore. But to instead, use the information we learned and schedule sessions only as needed. Today (almost 2 years later), we haven't had another session and we continue to use the tools and techniques he taught us. We are so much happier from this entire experience. We can communicate better, disagree without fighting, fight without yelling, share our love for each other in ways that the other needs and understands, and receive it in return. If you're on the fence about couples counseling, don't be. With the right therapist like Alex, and a willingness to learn, you can re-understand how to love, connect, and communicate. He is a true professional. Thank you Alex.

Her expertise, especially with children and teens is always spot on. As a therapist myself for over 12 years, I do not say this lightly because I find many in our field prioritize keeping the peace with adults over supporting a child's needs in a given situation. Her knowledge and caring nature definitely shine through in my many opportunities to consult with her on my own work. I would recommend her highly to anyone seeking trauma and family therapy.

We're both driven, passionate people, which sometimes means that we clash instead of collaborating, especially when it comes to giving and receiving feedback. Working with Michael on marriage counseling has been a transformative experience for our relationship. He created a space where we could feel heard without judgment, challenged without feeling attacked, and supported as we worked through difficult conversations. But what truly sets Michael apart is his ability to offer frameworks that are not only tailored to each specific issue we faced, but also unlike anything we've encountered in books or past therapy sessions. These marriage therapy frameworks helped us not only understand each other better, but also uncover our own hidden needs, and how to meet them, both individually and as a couple. When tensions rise, we now have practical, meaningful tools to navigate those moments with clarity and compassion. We're continuing to work with Michael regularly, not just to resolve conflict, but to proactively nurture and strengthen our relationship. We're incredibly grateful for his insight, guidance, and truly original approach.

Michael is great at always arriving to our sessions with a plan or exercise in order to get us talking should my husband and I be dead silent which has happened. He makes sure each of us is heard and understood. The one thing I really like about Michael is no one can give specifics in a session like she said he said. Like he did this last week, or she did that last month etc...This is important or the whole session would be cluttered with accusations when instead we work on how to be a better team and get useful skills. Michael is also awesome at reeling it in when we do go down that accusation path and the session is about to go sideways. We always end with a plan of action which I like. I highly recommend Michael to get your relationship back on track!

Absolutely amazing. I've been seeing Ronald Mah for over a year now, done primarily through VSee…read moreapp (video sessions). I can confidently say he's like the swiss army knife of therapists -- he has a tool, label, or model for everything. Seriously, the man could probably find a way to explain the complexities of life using a pizza analogy if he wanted to. Our sessions are very balanced, about half me talking and half him, which is perfect because it feels like an actual conversation, not a one-sided monologue. It feels less like therapy and more like a meaningful conversation with someone who just happens to have an uncanny ability to make sense of everything. He matches my energy so well that sometimes it feels like I'm talking to a mirror (but one with a psychology degree and a talent for uncovering truths I didn't know I had). His honesty is one of the things I value most about him. He doesn't sugarcoat things or dance around issues. It's refreshing to feel like I can fully be myself in our sessions, and it allows me to dive into deep waters like childhood traumas, cultural influences, social upbringing, class differences, and the big question of why the universe insists on throwing curveballs. Ronald can take complex emotions and simplify them into relatable examples. He doesn't just help me untangle the past, he helps me explore its central themes. He has this rare gift of making even the heaviest topics feel approachable, like helping you untangle a messy knot you thought was impossible to fix. By the end, what felt overwhelming starts to make sense, piece by piece, like peeling an onion layer by layer, except this onion occasionally makes you laugh instead of cry. Sometimes, our sessions turn into a much-needed venting session, but more often, they're about exploring the bigger picture -- what I'm letting into my life, how I can move past certain things, and understanding that not everything can or needs to be fixed, and more often than not, it becomes deeply reflective and transformative. He's also taught me that sometimes healing isn't about erasing the pain, but about learning how to coexist with it. He's helped me accept that some pain might come and go, but peace doesn't mean forgetting, it means knowing how to sit with it when it shows up. One of the insights that's really stuck with me is his mention of balance -- even the Buddha, when in prayer form with hands clasped together, has to balance left and right ever so slightly. It's a reminder that perfection isn't the goal. It's about the small, mindful adjustments that bring harmony. That's the kind of wisdom Ronald weaves into our sessions. By the end of a session, what felt like chaos starts to feel like clarity -- not because the problem is "solved," but because he helps you see it from a new perspective. Ronald is also full of practical advice. He has a model or example for just about everything, but he doesn't overwhelm you with it. He's more like a chef offering just the right seasoning to a dish -- enough to add flavor, but never too much to overpower. If you're looking for someone who's honest, insightful, and somehow manages to make therapy feel equal parts deep and down-to-earth, Ronald is your guide. I can't recommend him enough.

And since we're both Asian American and children of immigrants, we share lots of similarities and were able to connect really well. He's taught me how to process things and help me work through the things I've been going through. I like his style of therapy, he draws a lot from personal experiences and helps guides me to look at things in different light. It's helped me tremendously and I cannot recommend him enough.

I first started coming to Andy close to two years ago. After a few attempts in my past that either…read moredid not match for me, or I was not ready for, I didn't have much hope therapy could work for me specifically. Working with Andy has changed my life. I came to him with a specific goal to work on. I never realized with time, so much more would be revealed. Andy sets the stage of feeling safe to share, asks permission on your comfort levels, and gives sound reflection and advice to help achieve a greater self awareness. With Andy's help so much trauma was released. I went from being attracted to unhealthy situations, and thought peace and good things were boring. I wanted my life to be better and healthier, but I'd only known unhealthy ways of thinking and action to be of comfort. That kind of way of life was really self destruction. Now I appreciate and love myself, life, and others in a way that I never was able to before or even realized. I have found a strength and control in myself I did not think or know I could have. Andy is calm, caring, loving, professional and has been a key factor in my recovery in so many facets of life. He has helped me discover new joys and helped me to reveal why toxicity for so many years felt comforting and natural. This helped me realize it was not giving me life, but taking it. Through Andy I realized that wasn't life at all. It's been amazing for me to see and feel this journey with Andy. Who I was then to who I am now. It truly feels sometimes like a different person. How I handle and embrace life situations and feelings that I never did before. I know now I have the strength to experience these things, but I have control of my life in knowing my triggers and boundaries. I used to be a "never me" or expiration date kind of person when thinking of therapy. Committing to things, even for my own health, felt strange if it was something I wasn't already familiar with. Before, I never wanted to commit to something for too long or without some safety of knowing when something was going to end. Health and discovering yourself/loving yourself doesn't work like that. Now, I can't imagine my life without therapy. Therapy changed my life. It saved the good in me and brought out new joys I never knew could exist. I think of Andy as a phenomenal therapist, teacher, confidante, and friend. It might have taken a few tries but I'm so unimaginably grateful life brought me to Andy. He is one of the greatest healers and therapists I've ever known. If you are wondering if this is for you... my advice? Give it a shot. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Remember therapy takes time. It isn't an overnight thing because you have so much of your own story to share and learn about yourself. Be kind and patient with yourself and therapy. Give yourself this gift by giving yourself time with a professional to help you. You'll be shocked how much you see and especially, feel a change before you know it. Thank you Andy for all you do!!
