If you are reading this, you might be where I was about a year ago -- looking to find just the…read moreright person to help you with whatever it may be that is an issue in your life. For me, I felt I was in need of a hard mental reboot and I also really wanted to find someone to talk with regarding my lifelong MTF crossdressing issues. When I happened to choose Dr. Goldberg-Boltz, little did I know at the time, I was hitting the jackpot! I have found her to be very supportive, non-judgmental, caring, compassionate, very very smart and extremely tuned into me and my issues. I have had therapy with others in the past and the treatment I received from them paled in comparison to what I get from Dr. GB. If you are wresting with any issues, especially cross dressing or gender issues, I cannot recommend Dr. Goldberg-Boltz enough.

I've been seeing Jessica for several years, and she has changed the way I understand therapy. It…read morewasn't until I met with Jessica that I truly let a therapist in. I used to hold back, saying only what felt safe. But with Jessica, that changed, and for the first time, I could just be honest and completely open. She listens in a way that makes you feel seen, not just heard. The tools she's given me aren't the kind you forget the moment you leave the room, they actually stick with you. If you're looking for a therapist who will actually meet you where you are and help you become someone stronger, more whole, more yourself, it's her. Jessica is, without exaggeration, the best therapist and one of the best human beings I have ever had the privilege of knowing.

I am now on the life path I've always wanted to be on. I see Barbara once a month now, to help ground myself and stay focused on what matters in life! She is easy to talk to with no judgement and what's most important is she genuinely cares for her clients!

My Life has changed since the first day I sat down with Barbara. I found her simply by googling…read morehypnotherapy in my area, and feel like the universe brought me to this wonderful woman. I would imagine that hypnotherapy, as does any type of therapy, depends a lot on finding the right person to connect with and guide you. Barbara is definitely worth trying, I can't imagine that anyone could not connect with her. She offers a safe, serene and tranquil environment; with a warm and positive energy to accompany the abundance of knowledge she delightfully shares. She is very reasonably priced and I believe offers a student discount. Being that I am new to hypnosis I was not sure what to expect and she explained everything thoroughly and made me feel confident. It worked for me the first time. The hypnosis sessions I have been doing are not to "fix one thing" but more to answer questions, learn about myself and let go of the negative. In addition to productive hypnosis, she has been a spiritual guide in my life. I do not feel like a client, she offers personal information about herself and past experiences which makes me feel comfortable to share with her and feel confident that she is passionate about her work and not just in it for the money. If I am not able to come on a regular basis, she does not hold it against me and will check on me out of nowhere and often at times I am stressed or in need of warm words of motivation. She makes herself available for quick chats after "regular" hours, although I do not abuse this. She has thoughtfully given me meditation cd's because I had expressed my desire to begin meditating and offers real solutions from resources in her own life, to obstacles in my life. If you are considering hypnosis or seeking spiritual guidance, Barbara is a gifted woman to consider!

Tessa Barrows was the only one who offered to take me on as a client. I went into this with an open mind. She was very easy to open up to and I've always felt she truly wanted to help me deal with my issues. The tools she gave me to help get me through it were simple yet extremely effective. She made me look at things differently. I will be forever grateful what she has done to help. Thank You Tessa Barrows!

I have never once felt uncomfortable or unsafe while seeing her.If you want somebody who truly cares about and wants nothing but the best for their clients as well adapts their therapy style to each individual client then this is who you need. They have all their credentials hanging on the walls in both of their offices. She has gone to very prestigious colleges has her own private practice as well as working in multiple very well known hospitals. They truly care about the people that they work with. They're always punctual and never have canceled an appointment on me. They have helped me improve my life beyond words, I am forever grateful for the help that they have given me.

It is hard to explain what a difficult experience I had dealing with Ionascu. Her manner was curt,…read moreunreceptive/unsympathetic and not helpful in the performance of neuro-psychological testing. (I am loath to use the term "Doctor" as she got a PsyD from a second-rate institution, "The Wright Institute", that will give anyone with enough time and money a degree that allows them to use that coveted term. I heard a psychologist with a PhD from the University of California, San Francisco called it the "Wrong Institute" because she said the students were practically innumerate, i.e., they could barely do math she taught in psych classes. A PsyD is nothing more than a high-sounding professional technician's degree with limited insight into the theoretical foundations of the psychology and physiology of neuropsychology. One of her websites claim she got her training at UCSF. One class, 2 days, maybe.) Briefly, her office setup for neuro-psychological evaluation is ergonomically poor with problematic equipment layout and rickety equipment and nothing to accommodate different body types. Some of the equipment is improperly positioned for the requirements of the evaluative instrument/test being administered. Some of the testing conditions lacked privacy and, potentially, in violation of health privacy laws. I could go on but suffice it to say that considering how much she charges for her services it ought to be better. I went to her because the only other people in the area approved to do the testing were booked far into the future and Ionascu could accommodate the timeline I was forced into by the FAA. Now I understand why. She is second-rate and if I had to do this again I would choose any other neuro-psych evaluator in the Bay Area (or travel long distances) instead of her even with the long wait the others might have. She may be good for some people but beware of her limited capabilities and unprofessional approach.

She adjusts her approach to fit YOUR pace and goals, not the other way around I've never stick with therapy before...always been on and off depending on circumstances. But I had an extremely random life issue pop up, so I sought out help asap. Sarah was the only therapist that was taking new patients in the timespan I needed, so I really didn't have any expectations...I just knew I needed help immediately! It turned out to be serendipitous b/c we clicked right off the bat and I'm so thankful things worked out the way they did. She wants to make sure I feel "seen" and validated, and she chooses her words very carefully and makes sure to frame her communication in a way that lets you know she was intently listening to you and understands you.
