I would never ever recommend this practice to anyone. First, they put my daughter, who needed…read moresomeone strong, with a student counselor and didn't even tell us they were going to do that. When I found out she was with a student therapist. Then we scheduled family therapy and on the day of the appointment, they canceled WITHOUT TELLING ME citing that they didn't have informed consent from my ex-husband and the kids dad. I had spoken with them at 9:30 in the morning and let them know I couldn't speak at that point they agreed to call me back between three and four. I never received a call during that time so I called at 4:15 and left a message. How in the world can they not have informed consent but be treating both kids for two months? So we ended up being in the lobby of their office and finding out that we had a canceled appointment. The person said she tried to call, but I also checked my phone records even called AT&T And no call was placed. She said she conveniently did not leave a voicemail. When dealing with mental health, you need people who are truly going to be advocates and on your side. The care I've seen my daughter receive, and their lack of ability to communicate with clients is just the tip of the iceberg of why I don't recommend them.

Working with Erica is truly an unforgettable experience. I have worked with her on several…read moreoccasions over the past few years, and I usually book a session when I'm feeling stagnant or when I know something deeper is going on within me that I can't quite pinpoint, much less articulate. Erica is incredibly intuitive and has a unique ability to help navigate whatever heaviness you are carrying. She takes the time to truly listen, understand and then guides you through the areas that need attention. Rather than telling you what you are feeling, she helps you discover it for yourself. Things came up that I didn't even realize I had been holding onto, and she helped me release emotions and energy that had been weighing me down. I had been carrying emotional weight for months, and I walked out of my session feeling like a rejuvenated woman. I felt lighter, more motivated, and experienced a release from the overwhelming thoughts and heaviness I had been carrying. She also gave me individualized tools to continue my healing and nervous system reset journey beyond the session. What I truly appreciate about Erica is how safe she makes you feel. Things I have felt embarrassed or vulnerable to say out loud, even with my own therapist, I felt completely comfortable sharing with her. She is a safe space. Her warmth, personality and genuine care make it easy to open up and do the deeper work. Erica is incredibly gifted, and I believe that she meets you exactly where you are. I highly recommend looking at her website to explore the variety of services she offers. I am so grateful to Erica and wholeheartedly recommend her services.

I experienced a remarkable healing with Erica after months of emotional hardships. I didn't realize the actual extent of this until I experienced an immediate shift during my initial session with her. She re-awakened my spirituality, the relationship to loving myself, and restored confidence in who I am as well as my purpose in this life. In addition to Erica's use of a variety of healing modalities, she gives her clients tools to succeed through the teaching of techniques and other helpful recommendations that can be used at home. I'm so very thankful, well beyond words, for everything Erica does and the special care she takes with her clients. It brings me joy to recommend others to her practice.

Today was my last day with Jeff Williams. I must say I feel kind of sad but happy sad. I feel like…read morea traveler that has finally reached his destination. It was an amazing journey. An experience that I believe we can only live once in a life time. I was extremely lucky that the "guide" on this journey was Jeff Williams. Otherwise I could have never made it. Three years ago I came to him because I was hurting very badly but I was ready to work. From day one Jeff has been there for me with all his arsenal and trust me Mr. Williams has the kind of knowledge and skills that are rare to find. I am sure that there are a lot of therapists that have got the brain for the job but it's much less common to encounter those who also have the heart for it. Jeff is a unique individual who has both. And when you have a guy like that in your corner you have all the chances to get there where you want to get. Good luck!

My daughter went to her for a few months for play therapy when she was having issues with…read moreaggression and other behaviors. At first we thought she was really nice, but then it became apparent that she is completely clueless. She has her degree from Columbia but could not come up with a diagnosis. She also recommended my husband & I take a restraining course for when our 9 year old was not cooperating & that we lock her in her room. We really needed professional advice & seeing her was a complete waste of time. Not to mention whenever something came up with one of her kids she would cancel our appt. DO NOT see her! She is a total flake that only cares about making a buck not making a difference!

So time isn't wasted...if you don't have a credit card she won't treat you; even if you have…read moreinsurance. Aside from that, I only made one apt. and before I even saw her she texted me 45 min before the apt to say she was sorry but she was running 15 minutes late, see you at 10:30. There was no "is that ok" it seemed as if she just assumed I was sitting around with nothing else better to do. Very impersonal. When she arrived after me (I was only 3 min early and standing in hall as the door was locked) she stated "did you get my text" all I said was yes...not sure what the issue was there...then she stated that her morning has been very hectic already etc. I am sorry but I am not there to learn that her day is hectic, I am there to get a handle on MY extremely hectic life... I left stating no worries I will find another therapist I'm just not comfortable giving over a credit card, when I know my insurance will cover this. I had to insist that it really was no big deal and that I wanted to leave...so upon leaving she said "Good luck" .... Me thinks she lacks people skills.
