From the…read morevery beginning, I felt heard, understood, and supported, which made it easy to open up about all different aspects of my life. I've gained valuable tools to improve my relationships, and better understand myself. I've noticed real, positive changes in my mindset and overall well-being, and I always leave sessions feeling more grounded and empowered. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, effective, and supportive therapist. She's the best!

The next day I contacted her. Through the years, I have turned to Joan at different moments, to help me process, understand and make personal adjustments. I am always amazed at Joan's range of knowledge and how she leads me to a better understanding of myself, my actions and my relationships. Joan is a realist...she provides a comforting understanding but will challenge me as well. At times I wonder how she remembers all these details about my life...but she never misses a beat. I highly recommend Dr. Druckman; if you put in the work, she won't disappoint.

Ben has been a great coach and therapist to me for the last 4 or 5 months. I had originally been…read morehaving some challenges with my personal relationship and Ben helped me work through those. He never feels pushy or judgmental, but he can be honest with you and doesn't sugar coat situations which I really appreciate. Lately, my personal relationships have been going better (many thanks to his help) and I've been working on a career transition away from a toxic job. I'm thankful I found Ben on Yelp as he was the first and only therapist I ever went to - I connected with him on our first session. Although private counseling can be expensive, it's well worth the investment to get impartial and thoughtful advice from somebody who understands what good relationships look like. Thanks for all your help Ben, I look forward to each session and I know my girlfriend really appreciates your helping me through some of my challenges.

I highly recommend Ben. I have been seeing him for a couple years, and there has been a few life…read more transitions that he has helped me through. Hes straight forward and cuts right to the point.

I have had the great pleasure of meeting Joy but also working with her over the course of 12 weeks…read more Now before I actually get into this review, I want to throw out a few disclaimers...Joy does NOT have a magic wand that will magically make your issues go away. Joy does NOT have the ability to do your work for you and lastly Joy does NOT by any means sell herself short on the services that she provides. Joy, you are an absolute god send. Seriously.... I have been thru various counseling all of my life but that didn't resolve my issues nor did it really give me the tools needed to actually resolve them. So since I had tried that previously and pretty much got the same result, I knew I had to try something different. So, what did I do? I went to my trusty yelp and reached out and received several responses. I had a few phone interviews because I needed to find the right person to help me thru some heavy stuff. I liked Joy right off the bat. You can simply tell by the tone in her voice that she is an angel. I signed up for 6 sessions with Joy...and after my 6th session, I signed up for 6 more. And I threw Joy some crazy challenges (nothing in my life has EVER been easy)....there were issues that she flat out told me she couldn't do anything about (I appreciate the honestly more than you know) and there were some issues where I really feel like I challenged her but guess what? SHE NEVER GAVE UP ON ME. SHE NEVER TOLD ME SHE COULDN'T WITHOUT AN EXPLANATION (again she doesn't have a magic wand). Instead what I received was far far greater than any gift...Joy gave me the tools I needed to see where my deficiencies came from and also gave me some positive insight as to how to fix the behaviors and this is something I now work on EVERY SINGLE DAY and it's made me a better person. So if you feel like you are stuck, and don't know where to go, and you have tried traditional methods (and they haven't really worked) I would seriously urge you to give Joy a call...set up and appointment and more importantly work on your (O&*%(Q*&)%(. Joy, thank you again for everything. I'll be back after tax season and I've already started a list of things to work on when I return to your place...oh and Mr. Meowghee says hello!

I have had the privilege of speaking with Sarah, on three separate occasions regarding concerns…read moreabout myself and my daughter on one occasion...and I can honestly say that each session has been nothing short of transformative. From the moment we began, she had a sense of calm, wisdom, and profound understanding that immediately put my mind at ease each and every time. What stands out most is Sarah's ability to engage without judgment, providing insights and support that are not only honest but deeply soothing. Each time I started the sessions, I was feeling uncertain, or perhaps even less than, then, I left with a renewed sense of clarity and self-worth. It's as if she has an innate gift for seeing through the chaos and helping you rediscover your strength. Sarah's approach is nothing short of magical. I can't fully explain it, but every session felt like an emotional reset, like a weight lifting off my soul. It's rare to encounter someone who can create such a profound shift in how you see yourself, and even rarer to meet someone whose impact lasts long after the conversation/session is over. I genuinely feel that Sarah has a rare gift, and her ability to guide and heal is unparalleled. I've never met anyone quite like her, and I can say without hesitation that she is a true magic worker for the soul. If you have the opportunity to work with her, don't hesitate... your life will be richer for it. Thank you, Sarah. Heather

My first review was written in 2010. 9 years later and I am back to say Sarah remains the only…read moretherapist I have worked with who has "helped" me. Her emotional intelligence exceeds my own, she tells it like it is with absolutely no judgement, she gets to the meat and bones of every issue so effortlessly, like a sharp knife through butter. And, she doesn't know this yet, but my then boyfriend and I came to her at a crossroads in our relationship, when all signs pointed to "Exit", and we are now happily married. Life just so happens to be moving us up close to Northern California and we plan to start seeing Sarah regularly for "maintenance". Our insurance does not cover our visits, but she is well worth the fee, as someone else commented.
