I found Tim after looking and calling several places due to going through an episode of social…read moreanxiety affecting me at work- "I need help," was what I told him over the phone. I left a voice message, and he called me very soon after. I remember feeling a sense of comfort and calmness after speaking to him bc he seemed genuinely interested in helping me and also accommodated an appointment to see me as soon as was possible. In person, about 2-3 days later. Because it was social anxiety, I knew I wanted to see someone in person. So we met in person. His office is plain and he had the word "believe". It was simple without distractions. I needed this, bc the days that followed were walking into this place of collapsing my thoughts and feelings. Tim's approach is simple and it's realistic. But it is only simple for the very reason: that Tim is extremely passionate about the subject and therefore knows it very well. Therefore going through the sessions you begin to learn concepts and in the process you begin to learn about yourself, your reactions, and how correction is possible. It's realistic / common sensical and when you realize this, you feel hope that change is possible. Hope is important, bc it's the right step to begin rerouting your thoughts, highs / lows and find a balance in life. Tim is passionate about this. Tim as a person is not only knowledgeable and professional, but he is kind and generous. Generous in sharing information- to teach you as much as he knows and he is also generous with his time. Never rushing you or holding you to a minute maximum. In him you will find a wise and emphatic man, bc of this, trust emerges and you will find it easy to open up. Thankful for Tim!

I looked forward to talking with her each week. We clicked right away. I had had gastric sleeve and needed help with regain.

She demonstrates that she is paying attention, and doesn't answer the phone, check email, or become distracted during our sessions. Diana provides a diagnosis if necessary, but remains steadfastly focused on helping me to manage any such diagnosis and get better. The diagnosis remains the backdrop for therapy, not the focus of it. She understands and communicates to me that there are many effective approaches to therapy, and no one approach can meet the needs of every client. I feel completely comfortable with her and feel like I'm in good hands.

During our sessions, I feel that she carries herself in a very welcoming and chill positive vibe, which I love about her. Ariel has always been so accommodating and flexible when scheduling an appointment to meet with her. I am also appreciative when she gives me a confirmation text before we meet the next day even though I have it in my calendar already. It's definitely those little things that matters! Honestly, it was really hard for me to understand and tell myself that I needed a little help, mentally. I was terrified in reaching out to any therapist, but I'm so glad I reached out to Ariel! I love how I can freely have a conversation with her without any judgement, move from topic to topic, and know that she can keep up with my thoughts and emotions plus help me sort it all out. I have shared some heart felt, deep and meaningful conversations with Ariel that I'm so relieved to be able to get it off my chest. I definitely feel that since our first session in June, Ariel has been by my side to help me open up, grow, heal, and learn to love and accept myself. She literally my cheerleader supporter but more chill vibes than perky haha. It really means a lot and I'm so proud of the progress we have made so far. I hope for others that are reading this as well, they will have the courage to reach out to Ariel and get the help they need. It's okay to ask for help. I'm so happy I did and reached out to Ariel. Healing is such a beautiful thing. (:

Dr. Nicole has been such a great resource for my daughters and our family. One of my girls was…read moreexcited to start therapy, while the other was a little unsure at first. From my very first conversation with Dr. Nicole, she made me feel comfortable. She took the time to tell me about herself, asked thoughtful questions about my daughters, and really wanted to understand their personalities and needs. What I appreciated most was how personal and collaborative the process felt. She took the time to get to know both me and my girls, and we worked together throughout their journey. I could share things going on in their lives that might help guide conversations during sessions, and she was always supportive and understanding. She was also incredibly flexible and helpful with our constantly changing schedules. Most importantly, both of my daughters genuinely enjoy their sessions with her and feel connected and comfortable talking with her. I'm so grateful that she has been a safe and open door for them as they've grown up -- especially through big milestones like one of them graduating. I've truly been able to see positive emotional growth and maturity in both of them. As an added bonus, she was able to work with our Kaiser insurance, which made the process even easier for our family. I highly recommend Dr. Nicole to any parent looking for someone caring, personable, and genuinely invested in helping kids thrive.

Thank you for helping our child find their courage.

When a challenge/experience arrives in my life, I get to face it knowing I can call on him if I want to. It matters. The knowledge that there is a therapist I have built trust with provides a freedom to face the unknown on my own, without being alone. In a perfect world, everyone would have a therapist. I had no idea how much my ability to work through challenges would improve, just from having someone to talk through the big ones with. Patrick in particular has a deep understanding of the ways our minds can respond to life, and provides that insight without the detached, clinical vibe so many therapists seem to approach patients with. It's something truly special that he brings to the table. Finding a therapist you vibe with is not a simple task. Having one is a gift. You are a gift, Patrick. Thank you.

KARA! I've been desperately looking around for good places to help my daughter and I was happy I…read morefinally found a place that supposedly would have good services but KARA, that lady, most likely the receptionist has not been helpful at all. We first call to make sure if they accept our insurance. When she pulled it up, she saw my daughter has double coverage. I explained to her that we already fixed that and she has now only 1 coverage now. She advised us to call our insurance to make sure our daughter only has one coverage, sure enough our insurance confirmed 100% and gave us the Provider's phone number so that Daybreak could also verify that info with them. Now I called Daybreak again to confirm that we only have 1 insurance coverage and to make a consultation appointment. This KARA, still keep on saying that she we will get charged because we have 2 insurance even after telling her that we have confirmed with our insurance and I would want to give her our insurance contact line for them to also verify with. But she wont do that. And still keeps on mumbling that we will be charged (we're not worried about this at all) with a not pleasing tone of voice. She should not be sitting on that seat if she's not happy with her job and if she has that personality. Her personality wont do well coz she is supposedly the face of Daybreak. We wanted their services but not Kara.

Fortunately, my therapist ended up at another firm, so I was able to continue to see her. She's fantastic but I would not go back to daybreak because of the way treated my therapist and me.

Somatic Experiencing allowed me to reconnect with my body, releasing stored tension and fostering a renewed sense of grounding and vitality. I felt supported, respected, and guided in a way that honored my unique journey. An IFS approach has allowed me to explore and heal parts of myself I didn't even realize were influencing my thoughts and behaviors. The sessions were all tailored to my needs, and the integration of approaches worked beautifully together, creating a holistic healing experience that addressed my mind, body, and spirit. The transformation I've undergone is evident not only to me but also to those around me. I feel lighter, more present, and more in tune with myself. Anxiety and fear that once controlled my life have significantly diminished, replaced by confidence, peace, and resilience. I've gained tools to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and grace. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to explore these therapies with Andrea and would highly recommend them and her to anyone seeking healing and personal growth.
