They have even offered support as we navigate through the school system trying to get our child all the services they are entitled to. I'm incredibly happy to have pediatric therapy on my child's support team!

The space is clean, bright, lots of fun toys/equipment for him, and he is having such a fun time with her in his sessions! The location is great near the Capitola mall and Trader Joe's with ample parking and an elevator for strollers/ADA. She is helpful in providing timely documentation for her services and responsive to questions as well as providing take home exercises for him. I have already talked to other moms with children in need of support about her practice. The big hospitals over the hill get recommended often by pediatricians, but for our child we would have had to wait for six months to even get a first assessment! Her expertise is so valuable to the local community and we are so glad she could help him right away!

She is forthcoming, and has a great presence. She held sessions with kindness and compassion. She is sharp, really listens, remembers things you tell her, and has great insights. I loved adult play therapy. It helped me to get in touch with parts of myself I was feeling resistant to. I was little uncomfortable in the beginning to do play therapy but it was extremely helpful. It helped me to work with a hard part in fun way. I highly recommend her.

My six year old son enjoyed every second, felt safe and was able to articulate that he is sad not to be going back. What I appreciate is the fact, she gave me advice and didn't feel the need to keep seeing him. Kinda like you feel with the chiropractor who wants to just see you for the "business". She told him, he is always welcome but for now she didn't see the need. I agree with the previous review. She listens and remembers, is kind and very sharp. I would recommend her for all levels of therapy especially "play therapy" for young children.

I am reluctant to post this review due to privacy concerns, but I also feel compelled to offer a…read morewarning to any potential patients. Especially if you are in the recovery community, or seeking treatment for symptoms related to historical trauma, proceed with extreme caution if you choose to see this provider. I don't need to go into detail, because frankly, it's already been done for me by the multiple other reviewers who describe feeling judged, shamed, belittled and unsafe. When I left my first and last appointment with Dr. Borchert, I was physically shaking and nauseated, with significant brain fog, and barely able to check off a grocery list. I consulted my sponsor, therapist, support group and others, prayed, and meditated, but 30 plus hours after leaving her office, I am still not completely back to baseline. All of these are symptoms of being retraumatized- by a mental health professional whose purpose and duty is to create a safe space, build a therapeutic relationship, and ultimately assist in recovering from/coping with these exact kinds of issues and experiences. I cannot overstate what a profound betrayal it is to experience this with a licensed and educated professional from whom I sought help, in a setting in which trust and vulnerability is essential for effective treatment. Despite the lengthy replies to previous reviews, in which Dr. Borchert attempts to explain and rationalize this behavior, there is absolutely nothing that would make this conduct acceptable. Not only is it ethically questionable, but perhaps more importantly, it's potentially destabilizing and dangerous for the vulnerable adults who seek her care. It is particularly dangerous for patients with a history of substance use disorder. It was important for me to share this, because it was only after reading the accounts of other reviewers (many parts of which are almost identical to my own) that I finally felt some relief and validation, and was able to stop questioning my own sanity and emotional experience. The common denominator in all of these reviews is Dr. Borchert herself- and that should tell you all you need to know.

As a previous child patient of hers (it's been ten or more years ) I stumbled upon her page and had…read moreto leave a positive review after seeing a negative one . First of all , her office is very private (same address as before it looks like ) and never are u in there with more than one other patient . Therefore , unless this guy hung out outside her door I highly doubt he had interaction with many other patients . Also , im not sure if he is a parent who just didn't agree with her opinion , but as a confused and rebellious kid - I feel like it's important for me to say that when I think back to then tens of therapists my estranged father sent me too (because he was desperately searching for someone who would file "being an angsty teen child of divorce" under "must be committed"), she was the first one who helped me make sense of my emotions . She never once made me feel like a bad kid , and after years of dreading pointless therapy , I acryslly looked forward to seeing her and felt that , for the first time , it wasn't just a waste of money talking to a friend . That was always what I would say - "you're throwing money away I have friends I can talk to...it's not like I bottle up my emotions ". But she was smarter than any specialist I had seen before and let me tell you - I walked in there feeling helpless and not knowing how to express myself - and left feeling that she was the true translator between parent and child - that if for whatever reason my plan and compromise with my parents didn't work that she would be there to make sure I felt understood and validated . This woman and her skillhas stuck with me through the years - I Can't tell you the amount of times I've recommended her to people . She was pregnant at the time ldk if that could've changed her outlook on anything but imo it could only make her understand both sides better . So take it from a true patient - this woman left an impression so big - and on a child no less - that I wholeheartedly dismiss the previous review (SEE your way out please !) and demand that if your child is having issues , u at least give her a chance .

Dr. Lucie Hemmen has a gift for working with teens. We began consulting with her when our children…read morewere young adolescents, and she provided excellent advice - both to us and to our kids - as we addressed common issues such as school choice, stress, peer issues, and family dynamics. She facilitated better communication for us all and helped smooth the way for a relatively conflict-free teenage period in our household. For a family seeking a wise and approachable therapist to work with during the teen years, Lucie can't be beat. Much more important, however, she can also be counted on in a crisis. When our daughter fell into a sudden, unexpected, and severe depressive episode, we were able to turn to Lucie on an emergency basis and count on her support and advice every step of the way. She made herself available so that we could consult with her - via text, phone, and in person - as we navigated what is every parent's worst nightmare. She helped us keep the channels of communication open with our child, advised us about when and where to seek additional help, and nurtured a close and trusting relationship with our child that continues to this day. I am not given to hyperbole, but I must say that Lucie's support and wisdom were invaluable. I cannot imagine how we would have weathered this crisis without her.

I wanted to say that she has been my doctor for almost 5 years and I think she is very good. She is a good listener, is aware and up to date about your health records and knows you and your history so that when you go to her you get a thorough diagnosis and prescription for whatever the problem is, whether it is the need for a vaccines, tests, medicine, referrals or education. She makes sure that you are up to date on all your medical needs without overdoing it.
