I've been working with Lindsay since May 2020, and I honestly don't know where I'd be without her…read moreguidance. Before finding her, I'd worked with a few therapists but never felt I was truly making progress. At the time, I was in the middle of a major life and career transition, coping with grief, and ready to address deep-rooted issues. Lindsay was exactly what I needed. Her approach is warm, approachable, and deeply empathetic. I appreciate her extensive knowledge of how the brain works, as well as her understanding of societal and family dynamics, relationships, and cultural nuances. I needed someone who would both support and challenge me, and Lindsay struck that perfect balance. Her insight and encouragement have helped me move through old patterns, traumas, and emotional blocks I'd carried for years. Lindsay consistently provides a safe, nonjudgmental space where I can bring my full self and work through whatever comes up. I'm deeply grateful for the growth I've experienced with her support.

I had an evaluation with Elie Saltzman at the Milwaukee Mind Solutions office last summer and the…read moreexperience I had with Elie Saltzman is still very upsetting to me. I regret going there and I would give them zero stars if I could. During the evaluation and the follow-up, Elie Saltzman directly minimized my lived experiences and instead of giving me diagnostic support, he recommended I take "acting/improv classes" while I was so distraught by receiving this sort of recommendation from a mental help provider that I sobbed through the meeting. Then both Elie Saltzman and that office were unresponsive by phone and email for months while I was waiting on the receipt of my evaluation report. My interactions with Elie Saltzman were far more harmful than helpful.

After working with 2 different psychologists I just didn't feel comfortable enough to open up to, I was referred to Jayne. In our first session, she made me feel safe and comfortable enough to be honest and open about everything I had bottled up inside. She is trustworthy and brilliant, and she doesn't make you feel like she's judging everything you say or do. She genuinely cares about her patients. I would not have made it through my adolescent and early adult years without her to help me.

Julia Woodson, Dori Mages and North Shore Family Services have been a lifeline for our family! We…read morefirst met Julia when my then 7 year old son was getting frustrated at school and struggling with self confidence. She knew exactly how to get through to him and gave him the tools he needed to work through his frustrations and feel good about himself. And recently when my almost 10 year old daughter had us pretty freaked out as she was grasping to understand some really heavy stuff, I reached out in desperate need of guidance and Julia came through for us that same day. She was able to help her understand and make sense of her very confusing feelings in a way that I never could have. By the time we left her office we were both breathing so much easier. As my kids grow and change - and inevitably face new challenges - I feel so blessed to know that Julia, Dori and all of the wonderful, compassionate people at NSFS will be there for us when we need them.

Brandon is quite rigid in his methods and his thinking. Every session felt tedious, like sitting in a lecture of your least favorite class as Brandon droned on and on. He seems full of himself and doesn't appear to be self-aware. He thinks he is relating to you when really, he is constantly attempting to one-up you. Were you in the military? Brandon was a navy seal who received 8 medals. Do you speak 2 languages? Brandon speaks five. Do you like McDonald's? Brandon is best friends with Ronald himself.
