Suzanne was a profound investment in our marriage…read more My husband and I interviewed a few couples therapists shortly after we were married for maintenance work, but as soon as we had our intro call with Suzanne we knew we had found our therapist. She has this incredible ability to s-l-o-w arguments down, identify the cycle, and bring to the surface the vulnerability that belies a given heated situation. We both feel we understand each other so much better, and over a period of months the arguments we once had deescalated into just blips, then conversations, and now we have graduated and remain super happily married. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

I found Marni.... mmmmmmmmm 8 years ago in her Oakland place of business, before the pandemic and…read moreshe transitioned to KAP. I am the type that cycles in and out of therapy during transition periods in my life. In addition to being a travel nurse, I move around a lot and have been with many therapists because of the licensing laws. All of that to say, Marni is the best of the best. Marni was present for two large transitions in my life where we did traditional talk therapy and KAP for the second. I found KAP therapy, conceptually, incredibly effective-if you give yourself to it. It brought up things that I didn't even realize I was upset about from childhood. Made connections for me that only 10 years of talk therapy could do in a single session. The medicine itself is incredibly intuitive, yet you still feel like you have a bit of direction in terms of what part of your psyche you want to deep dive. Marni, herself, I can't say enough amazing things about. SHE WAS BORN FOR THIS JOB! Truly all that is a healer-patient, kind, empathetic, soothing is Marni.

Working with Marni has truly been a transformative experience. Marni is a professional guide for…read morethose seeking self-awareness and improvement in their lives. She has a spiritual and empathetic presence, which for me fosters a reflective environment to explore my life situations. There is no "teacher-student" dynamic here. Instead, Marni provides subtle nudges in this direction or that, but you are the one who ultimately takes the steps toward deeper self-understanding. This does, however, require you to lean into the experience and approach it with respect. Whenever you do uncover a realization, her compassion shines through as she celebrates with you each step of the way. Equally important to me is the reserve of resources and tools that Marni provides, from community links to guides to book referrals to videos. It's not just theory. These are concrete and practical actions that I use in my day-to-day life, the results of which reflect themselves on a regular (if not daily) basis.

Sara supported me through all of it with such solidity, soulfulness, insight and care. I truly cannot imagine being where I am today if not for having her in my corner. She continually saw the best in me even while holding me in the darkest places, knew my strengths even when I felt weak, called me in when I needed it and helped me find and stay on the path to my highest good. She's an excellent, skilled practitioner to be sure. Her somatic and trauma-informed toolkit brings about meaningful and lasting change. Yet it's her heart and loving, steady presence that I'm most grateful for. I got to experience secure attachment with Sara and develop a set of relational skills that I will continue to carry with me and refine for the rest of my life.

I had a good first year with Marenka before things went harmfully haywire. One year into our…read moretherapeutic relationship, I experienced an agonizing breakup that intensified my emotional reactivity. During this and another crisis, Marenka responded to me in ways that were unprofessional and immensely damaging to my wellbeing. In response to my hyper-verbal grieving, Marenka attempted to slow me down by "coming in hot" and "getting experimental" (her words). She dismissed my repeated requests to revisit insights I'd begun processing in a previous session, telling me she didn't believe I really wanted to discuss it due to my ADHD-fueled processing style (jumping from one concern to the next). Though I assured her I was serious about it (this being the third time I'd brought it up), she continued to refuse. When I responded angrily to this dismissal, she asked me if I had spoken to my ex in the same way. This sent me out of her office. We eventually recovered from this rupture, and Marenka encouraged me to continue providing feedback about my experience of our sessions and therapeutic relationship. A few months later, I was in a work-related quagmire that stirred up some nasty toxic stress for me. I was experiencing a sharp uptick in CPTSD symptoms and needed acute support. I asked for Marenka's help figuring out how to navigate triggering communications with my coworkers, and I shared that I'd begun experiencing suicidal ideations again. Marenka never asked questions about my ideations and said, while shrugging, that she wondered who could help me with the work comms. Marenka's harmful response to my ADHD overstimulation and difficulties regulating my attention and emotions became even more aggressive during this time. While I rapidly cycled through chaotic verbal processing about my work stress, Marenka became irritated and yelled at me: "what is so hard about slowing down?!" I felt as though my ADHD got in her way, which is a shitty way to feel when I go to therapy to, in part, figure out how to manage my ADHD symptoms. During another session around this time, I tried to share an insight with Marenka that I thought was important. She cut me off mid-illustration to let me know, exasperatedly, that I didn't need to rehash "the whole thing." Marenka became defensive and dismissive when I shared my concerns about these issues. Rather than respond to my feedback, she announced that we should terminate therapy altogether. When I asked her to respond to my feedback, she said she would only do so if I proved to her that I cared for her well-being. In addition to centering herself in her work as a therapist, Marenka seems unaware of the power imbalance between therapists and their patients/clients. She also does not take seriously the social contexts that condition mental illness and wellness. Throughout our sessions, she consistently disavowed the socio-political container in which relationships occur, insisting, time and time again, that my male partner's shirking of domestic labor was not a gendered issue. Finally, despite my requests (from jump) to work though racialized trauma that contributes to my chronic pain and emotional dysregulation, Marenka alleged, at the end of our time together, that she was unaware of this dimension of my experience and of my desire to center it in therapy. I would NOT recommend Marenka to BIPOC or ND folks.
