Therapy is expensive and so few groups take insurance. AND many of the groups who take insurance…read morehave mediocre therapists and counselors. I began with Riva Mental Health about 6 months ago. It has been great. I did initially meet with my therapist in person and then we switched to online via video call. Unlike previous therapists at groups who take insurance, D (not sure if I should post her name) is very proactive and responsive to my questions, concerns, and has explained how we are moving forward and how she hopes to help me. I don't just talk, she listens and then we strategize. I could not be happier. And they take my insurance.

I can wholeheartedly give Riva mental health a five star rating. From the intake form until my…read morefirst appointment, the communication was fantastic. I had the extraordinary good luck to be paired with Rachael Silver for my therapist. She's deeply skilled, caring, and very empathetic. Rachael provided me with the tools that I needed, and will continue to benefit me for a lifetime. JH

Jacki Silber saved my life. She is amazing. I stared seeing her 5 months post-partum when I was…read moreso out of my mind I almost couldn't see straight. She was amazingly empathetic and knew exactly what to say to help me through the first few weeks of therapy so I could see there was a light at the end of the tunnel. As time went on she saw other things in me that no one else ever had. The trauma specific therapy we did changed my life. I'm not the anxious, nervous person I used to be. Jacki truly listens and truly cares. She continues to help me with family issues, questions I have about my children's development, etc. She's one in a million!

For some context; my partner and I had been together about 3 years, and were seriously considering…read moremarriage. I was interested in sort of laying out the internals of our relationship to therapist/counselor to see if there were any red flags we should be aware of, and talk through anything that could potentially be problematic for a long term relationship. Most importantly, Dr. Lillie is incredibly competent in her line of work, and can remarkably quickly ask the important questions to guide couples to new perspectives on their relationship. The way that Dr. Lillie interacted with my partner and I was not only transformative in the way we think, but carried care, empathy, and psychological safety. I never felt judged, only heard, but still was compelled to change my thinking about some foundational pillars of being in a relationship. Needless to say, my partner and I are happier than we ever thought possible, and indeed got married :) I owe a lot of this to only a few conversations I had with Dr. Lillie, and to that end, I'm very grateful for the time I've shared with her.

Sandy was my best yelp find ever! After my husband and I meet with her, we often talk about what a…read moregreat therapist she is! We have both worked with several therapists, so we have a lot to compare to. She is incredibly insightful, empathetic, and helps you make progress when you are stuck. She is highly intelligent and also brings her sense of humor when appropriate. She has really helped us improve our communication with each other. If you are looking for a therapist I would highly highly recommend Sandy. She is amazing.

Doreen is an impressive therapist! She has a very insightful/intuitive way of looking at life's…read moreproblems, and does this in a way that is patient, friendly and down-to-earth. At the same time, it seems to me that she always provides a realistic and honest assessment of difficult situations, which is also important. I think she has a special ability to "connect" to a wide variety of people. One of the other reviews used the word "wise" and I agree wholeheartedly with that. Highly recommended!

Doreen is absolutely wonderful. She helped me so much and my teenager step-son. She is a great…read morelistener and very intuitive to perceive voice tones to dig-down to deeper questions cracking the nut so-to-speak. I find her sweet friendliness to be a soothing reassurance and more importantly, my son was comfortable talking to her. She is absolutely honoring to his privacy with us and he feels confident in confining to her his teen issues. We have had several family meetings and I especially enjoyed how she handled the bio-dad issue when he came to our session. Doreen is a classy talk-doc and I can't say enough good things about her.

I originally looked on Yelp and read the reviews for Searching Pathways and Dr. Robert Mitchell. His outlined approach and the positive reviews matched exactly what I was looking for. My experience with our in-person therapy sessions has fully lived up to those expectations. Going into it, I wasn't entirely aware of all that I was "carrying." Dr. Mitchell created a safe, welcoming environment for me to unpack and resolve lingering issues in my present that were being influenced by my past. The people in my life and my relationships have noticed a genuinely positive impact, and I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done and the tools Dr. Mitchell has provided me. Working with him has been a very enriching and helpful experience. I highly recommend him!

Around May of 2020 I experienced some family crises and needed some guidance and direction. I did a…read moresearch, and found the Searching Pathways website. After reading Robert's profile and approach, I decided to give him a try. It turned out to be one of the most intelligent thing I did! He was there to listen and guide me through my fear and anxiety.

I struggled with postpartum depression for almost a year before finding Marnie. On top of the depression, I dealt with a high risk pregnancy and traumatic birth. Becoming a mom was shocking, to say the least! Marnie understood all of my fears and feelings. She helped me understand that everything I was feeling was normal! And she helped me feel like me again...but a new, better me. I can't thank her enough! Marnie also referred me to a psychiatrist to deal with some other issues surrounding anxiety and that has been going very well. She thought the psychiatrist would be a good fit for me and she was right. She is very in tune with her patients! I don't hesitate to recommend Marnie to new moms and I plan on seeing her again every so often because she has a very grounding nature that is so helpful!

I started working out with Alison a little over a year ago, and have been extremely happy with my…read morefitness progress ever since. I've always had a love/hate relationship with exercise and fitness, including failed attempts at jumping on exercise trends, and even working with trainers in the past. Nothing ever seemed to click, until now! In my first session with her, I explained to her how I would never be a runner because I didn't have the confidence (specifically "I look stupid doing it"), and with my newfound confidence, I am running my first half marathon in January. Alison is extremely knowledgable about how the body works, and helps me to understand what muscles I'm engaging, and how every move and motion affects my overall fitness. Under Alison's tutelage, I've seen a huge transformation in my strength, confidence, and overall mindset. Working out with her is always a pleasure - she pushes me physically, but I always find myself laughing and genuinely having a great time. I definitely owe so much of my transition to a healthier lifestyle to Alison!

She is a fantastic therapist; she really listens and participates in the session, helping me talk back to distortions I have in my thinking. She is very attentive and has an amazing memory. By having appointments at various times of the day including earlier some days and into the late evenings other days, she is accommodating to what her patients need which I really appreciate. She also has a really simple and easy billing system - it sounds minor but paying therapists has ALWAYS been such a painful experience with everyone else that I've seen (remembering to bring my checkbook, having to coordinate to get a hand-written summary to send for insurance reimbursement, etc.). With Kate, I have auto-pay set up using my credit card, and I get a thorough monthly superbill emailed to me like clockwork to supply to insurance, so easy. She's the only therapist I've ever looked forward to seeing - knowing it will help me process what's going on in my day-to-day life and I'll come out with new solutions to try.
