If I could rate 10/10 stars I would. Amy is billed as "sex therapist, life coach, mediator" on Yelp…read moreand for me she was all 3 in that order. My previous experience with therapy has always been a topical analysis of whatever was bugging me that week, or CBT practices (snap a rubber band on your wrist before you do something rash). I decided I would be completely honest from the start and Amy held my truth with integrity every step of the way. Beyond giving me a completely new perspective, she taught me to sense my crisis states well before they happened, and how to step away from it before being ruled by it. Amy is worth every penny spent.

I'm a mediator and sex coach. And believe me, they go together. I specialize in helping individuals become their best selves, whether coupled or not. I teach you how to grow as an individual so that you can make the most informed and least fear-based decisions in your life about love, sex, marriage, and work. From there, I teach you to support yourself and your mate, first as individuals, and then how to grow as a couple. It is much easier to do this before kids come, but it is critical to do it if you have children. We specialize in relationship, intimacy, and conflict by teaching you how to grow. That's right, we're about mediating conflict and adult education in how to become your highest and best self, whether partnered or not.

I know everyone says this, but I actually never write reviews. Unfortunately, I fall under the…read morecategory of people who remain silent when they receive stellar service. After about 6-8 months of relationship-saving commendations, I think it's about time I return the favor in the best way a customer can (aside from obvious cash-money-money). My partner and I are young and have been together for about 10 years. As I mentioned earlier, my man-friend and I started seeing Dr. Ethan roughly 6-8 months ago. I contacted him out of a certain level of desperation, after we had spent $1000 on another therapist who frankly should have whatever licenses he's received taken away. Before Dr. Ethan, I thought very little of therapy treatment and the aforementioned therapist we saw the first time around vindicated my opinion. That being said, my relationship is important to me so I decided to give another therapist a try. I narrowed in on Dr. Ethan because he was closer to my age and specialized in an area most closely related to our issue. I loved that I was able to conduct a FREE interview/consultation with him, before paying for his services (something the last therapist didn't allow). Of course we're not "fixed", but since going we have made leaps and bounds both in our relationship and individually. It goes without saying that deep-rooted issues take time to sift through and iron out, but we have been overly satisfied with our progress and we have no issue acknowledging that the main reason we are where we currently are is because of the time and effort Dr. Ethan has put into us. An incredibly short list of favorable components surrounding Dr. Ethan and his services: He does use highly academic language because he's highly educated. I appreciate this aspect because I'm paying good money to be advised and listened to by someone who is highly educated, experienced, intelligent, etc. Not by someone who uses basic or simple vocabulary and essentially "dumbs down" his descriptions for my convenience. I consider myself to be plenty capable of understanding his vernacular and would be offended if he spoke in any less of an academic manner. Additionally, my man-friend and I like to discuss the new words we learned after each session. If you're a fan of Scrabble or general continuing education, this is invaluable, not to mention fun. Yes, he does pepper swear words throughout his stories and explanations, but that's because he's an ADULT. I actually enjoy his candor because I'm a grown ass fucking woman (see what I did there?) and don't need to be spoken to as a child. Not only is his language appropriate considering what type of therapy he offers, but is also not even close to being offensive, derogatory, or demeaning toward anyone, especially women. In fact, he is very self-aware and conscious of the words he uses around gender and sexuality. I'm a self-proclaimed feminist and gender nonconformist, so I'm quick to snatch someone by their malicious neck if they offend me, and he has yet to do that. I've been so impressed with the way he is able to take a situation of ours that has been a constant battle - one of those arguments you have where it feels like you're just going in circles, getting nowhere - and somehow is able to alter the way we view each others' sides with a simple change in verbiage or shift in perception. All of a sudden the sun starts shining, birds start chirping, children start laughing and we're able to begin a process toward solution. He has a keen ability to read the language and feelings in the room and he is quick to call you out on it. So, if you're the hyper-sensitive type, or the type that doesn't appreciate straightforward, sincere advice delivery, then you may prefer the therapist I saw before Dr. Ethan. The first few sessions are used for background and data gathering. You talk about family, history, past trauma, your perception of your specific issues, maybe even do separate 1-on-1 sessions to gain insight on issues without your partner there to offend or hurt by your bluntness. Of course much of this information is referenced at later points and is worked through continuously during your time as a client. I don't view this as repetitive or a way to stall time. I view this as a means of chipping away at larger issues. Issues that are imbedded so deeply in your identity that you're unaware of how they affect your life decisions, sometimes on a daily basis. Issues like this are meant to be worked on over time and will bring up feelings you may want to suppress, but that's what therapy is for. It's a safe place to work on yourself and Dr. Ethan provides the ideal environment for that. Also, his couches are very comfy and lighting very pleasant- a detail to not go overlooked when you're a blubbering mess. Anyways, this is getting long. Bottom line is I would 100% recommend Dr. Ethan to anyone struggling in their relationship, marriage or even on an individual level.
