I heard about this treatment from a friend who had it done in Brazil years ago. This summer I was…read morevisiting Portland and was so surprised to hear from a colleague about the same treatment done right here in Portland by Suzanne. Had no idea this existed in the US. Without hesitation I booked a session. There are no words to describe how healing this work is and how patient, compassionate and kind Suzanne is. Please go and do this for yourself at least once and if you don't feel lighter, better, happier, relieved and satisfied- then don't do it again. I felt absolutely fantastic and did it again a couple of weeks after. It's a tremendous healing process of release and transmuting trauma into love. Self love. Thank you, Suzanne! I will be back!

I want to share my experience working with Claire Colaco. I have been seeing a therapist for a…read morelarge part of my adult life. I've experienced a wide range of skills and results. A year and a half ago, I started seeing Claire and immediately realized that I had found something new. Compassion, trust, accountability, and a strong desire to help me be successful. I had never experienced this level of attention, focus, and ultimately, a sense of success and happiness. Claire provides a comforting approach to dark and difficult places. She allows a natural progression through emotions, conversation, and action items. Therapy requires work, and sometimes we feel discouraged from continuing. Claire makes treatment feel like a mental serum for self-confidence, accomplishment, and motivation. I am a massive supporter of therapy and self-care. I am the best version of myself today because of my work with Claire. I am still working on things in my life, which I believe is a continuous process. Claire has become my grounding point for emotional and physical change in my life. If you are considering therapy or need a change, Claire Colaco is someone I highly recommend. Be kind to yourself. Allow space in your life for treatment. You will be amazed at how life can change with the proper guidance.

Claire is a good one ... You can take take my word for it as a clinician and fellow human.

I was considering setting a session up with Catherine, however, her website advises that they are…read more"in process of applying to insurance panels in order to offer more availability to middle and lower income populations". I find this statement to be ignorant and offensive. Apparently only middle and lower income patients would like to use the mental health benefits that they are already paying for through their health insurance. You have to be poor to use your health insurance. Therapy is about a safe space to express vulnerability with someone that you respect and it appears that I won't be finding that here with you, Catherine. Cute choice of verbiage. Thanks for looking down on us poor folks who are interested in using our insurance benefits...
