I highly recommend them!

I was having a lot of trouble with my son. He was bottling up his emotions and he was being very…read moredifficult about opening up. Not only was he distant with me, he was distant from his brother as well, and generally had generally a bad attitude about life. Sean from Parenting Modern Teens worked with him one on one for 8 sessions. During that time my son came a long way. He is now opening up to me much more often and is even getting along with his brother better. His attitude is greatly improved. If you are having trouble with your teen, I would recommend giving Sean and his team a chance.

TL;DR: Dismissive, condescending, and self-glorifying…read more I recently booked a consultation for my teenage stepson. Sean was 12 minutes late to our appointment. When he finally did call, he offered no apology - or even acknowledgment - for his tardiness. During our 11-min call, Sean displayed no curiosity about my stepson or our family. He never asked about my husband (the father), the biological mother, nor much about my son himself. Instead, he fixated on "screen addiction," using it both as a reason my son couldn't be helped (odd, since it's a service he advertises) and as an excuse to promote his book on the subject. While our conversation was brief, Sean still managed to plug his book, his podcast, and his social media. Overall, Sean seems to be more interested in building his "brand" than in actually helping teenagers. Tellingly, Sean was dismissive of traditional therapy - presumably because he has no relevant credentials. He also seemed incensed that I was evaluating therapists / coaches for my son to ensure the right fit. All this taken together with a previous one-star review (and his respective rebuttal), I feel more even more certain about the importance of this step. I expect a similar dismissive rebuttal: that "it wasn't the right match" or "the parents weren't invested." Reframing any negative feedback into a parenting failure, and deflecting from the lack of professionalism and expertise that this line of work demands.

Whitney is all of the things I needed in a therapist but never experienced. I wasn't so sure after…read moreour first session if I'd be returning for a second as she offered something I wasn't ready to accept- someone who accepted me as me and created a loving, safe place for me to just be me. We joke about it all these years later, but coming back for those follow up sessions would be exactly what I needed and truthfully, what I was lacking in my life. Whitney embodies compassion, care, empathy, and love and provides the safety of allowing me to show up as I am on any given day ready to help me unpack whatever I bring her. I came to her at a point in my life when I had shattered as a person. She has been by my side through some incredibly challenging times and there isn't anyone else that I would want in my corner when life happens. Whitney is an incredible therapist. If you are looking for someone who will see you as you are, accept you as you are, and who will walk by your side as you navigate the triumphs and challenges life throws at you, she is the one you need. I think she's pretty amazing and am thankful for her every day.

A few years ago, I found myself at dark point in my life. After a whirlwind of an 8 years in which…read moreI lost some of the most important people in my life, in addition to the pandemic and the ramifications of it, I knew it was time to seek help. I tried one avenue, but it just didn't work. So I went on a search for a different therapist. And that search went on day after day, hour after hour. I spoke to some, but nothing ever felt like it was the right fit. Until one day, when I was feeling defeated, I stumbled upon Whitney. I took a look at her website and read her reviews and felt hopeful for the first time in days. From the moment I first spoke to Whitney, I knew she was the one to help me. Two years later, and I can say with absolute certainty that choosing Whitney to be my therapist was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Whitney is compassionate, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. She knows how to create a warm, comfortable and supportive environment where you feel safe to tell her all your thoughts and feelings. She's patient and kind, and never gives up on finding ways to help you. She has been such a positive light in my life, and has helped me overcome so much. While I'm still a work in progress, it's all thanks to Whitney that I have made it this far. And that is why I recommend and will always recommend Whitney. If you're looking for someone to help you get back onto the path to happiness, you've found her.

Luckily, I live in the Bay now, where therapy seems to be the trendy thing to do, and so I decided to try it for the first time. I was recommended by a friend to Valerie, and it was mind-blowing how easy everything was. I'd always thought of therapy as you see it in the movies, with an older, traditional person asking you, 'And how do you feel about that?' while you're lying down, wishing you were anywhere else but in that room. A session with Valerie felt more like a conversation with a best friend who was simply curious about why I was feeling a certain way. She'd ask interesting questions that would make me go, 'Ooh! I've never thought about that before,' and in the process of coming up with my answer, I'd realize all of these things about myself that had never come up before. I don't know how she does it with such simple questions while still making it seem like a fun hang out session with a friend, but I was mind-blown. Definitely would recommend anyone to talk with her!!!

It shouldn't have surprised me, but she remembered key details about our work together, more than three decades ago! To me, this indicates not just a keen memory, but an abiding care for her clients. In our most recent work, I have especially appreciated her directness, her warmth and humor, and most of all her questions--Helene asks the smartest, most intuitive questions of any therapist I've had in my 62 years, which has led to deep and valuable personal insights and growth.

She's not the type of therapist that will just listen to you and nod for the whole session (unless that's what you need in that particular session), she's actively engaged in the conversation and everything that I share. She's also very intuitive and usually spot on with her observations. I'd highly recommend working with her, and so grateful to have found her 3 years ago.

Working with Emel has been one of the biggest breakthroughs in my healing journey. As soon as I…read moreread her website I knew that Emel understood many of my struggles at a deep level and that somatic healing work with her was what I needed. Seriously - just read her website and you'll understand, she gets it and has a uniquely effective approach! I have worked with so many practitioners on physical, mental, energetic, and nervous system healing, but I needed her somatic healing approach to connect the pieces and dive deeper to truly understand and break free from the pain, trauma, and patterns I was stuck in. Emel truly cares, is extremely empathetic, and works hard to understand the full picture and the root cause of issues. She made it easy to open up to her and to myself, allowing me to better understand myself, my patterns, and my triggers/reactions. Each session varies depending on my needs or desired focus, ranging from somatic healing, energy flow, and visualization work to more traditional talk therapy. The results of working with Emel were immediate and ongoing: relief from physical pain caused by stuck energy, emotions, or tension, as well as minimization of triggers, anxiety, depression, and other patterns I was stuck in. I cannot recommend working with Emel enough, regardless of what you are going through! Thank you Emel!

Emel is wonderful! She's kind, supportive, and really helps you feel comfortable opening up. I…read morealways leave our sessions feeling lighter and more hopeful. Highly recommend!
