I first discovered The Meditation for Health Podcast in 2014. Immediately struck by the quality of…read morethe recordings, I was attracted to the energy of openness, and impressed by the relative lack of commercialization, compared to other meditation resources. It truly is geared towards health & wellbeing, steering clear of some of the 'tropes' and consumerism that I have found in other podcasts for meditation. The immense qualifications of Dr. Robert Puff also are a huge benefit -- in an era where many in the digital space profess to know so much, it is reassuring to know that you are in the 'hands of an expert' when listening to this podcast. I have always appreciated the pace and gentle focus of each session, Dr. Robert Puff has an aura of nonjudgment and safety in his language and message. I would highly recommend this podcast; it's simple and nonintimidating, especially for those new to meditation.

Dr. Puff is both kind and wise beyond measure. Simple, insightful, helpful. I also love his…read more"Happiness Podcast" as well as his books - particularly "Reflections on Meditation." Thank you, Dr. Puff!

Very engaging! I…read morewent through multiple therapist who just sit and not say a damn thing or remembered anything we talked about. At times even waiting in silence for some engagement and wouldn't say anything unless I asked. Jennifer, Is amazing! She listens and either reads her notes before the session or has amazing memory but definitely recalls information from a week prior. She also engages by asking questions and gives feed back. Highly recommended Jennifer if you're looking for someone who not only listens but remembers prior information and is engaging in a way that feels like a conversation rather than a therapy session.

Please proceed with caution if you are considering seeking any advice or guidance by this woman…read more She will act very attentive the first session and you will be duped into thinking she cares and can help. Ms. De Francisco cares about helping herself in terms of adding to her bank account. She had me coming on a regular basis when I sought her services during a time I was struggling. I wish I had went on a shopping spree or took a vacation rather than spend copious amounts of money with this woman. I was vulnerable and under her "spell" so to speak. She convinced me we were doing "intensive work" but really it was either her nodding her head or giving me ridiculous advice. Just one of many snippets of bad advice.....she suggested to relinquish parenting decisions over to my sister as it was her opinion that I wasn't strong enough to handle things with my pre teen child at the time. Mind you, she also knew my sister which is how I was even referred to Jennifer and my sister was vying to get control over my estate. It's all very messy and convoluted. So word of the wise, be selective when it comes to seeking help in difficult times.

I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Dr. Hensling. I went in feeling a bit…read morelost, unsure of what my next steps in life would be. She helped me navigate and understand my wants and needs. She's very relatable and to the point. I've been to other Psychologists and most of the time they're just a feelings sharing session. Not with Dr. Hensling. She allows you to share your feelings and thoughts and makes sense of them. She is very honest and upfront, and doesn't sugarcoat which is exactly what people need when they're feeling lost or unsure. I always look forward to seeing her! Thank you for all the help and clarity you've provided me. I'm so grateful to have found her!!

I can't recommend her enough.

I was referred to Tina Sadri at Newport Mental Wellness by a friend that went to her in the past…read more She told me that the therapist Tina was really good so I decided to try it out. I felt that I needed to get clarity on some family issues and wanted to speak with someone that can relate to issues with children. As a single parent that is remarried we had to all adjust to new family dynamics. Were not crazy but sometimes our household has arguments and we need to all learn to communicate. I went to Tina because my friend told me she is young and an expert in the areas of social media issues. My son spends all day on instagram and my other son does not talk only text. After a few sessions I felt and great deal of relief. I highly recommend Tina to any family that has kids and is remarried. She is very easy going and we felt she really cares about helping us.

I highly recommend Courtney Collier, her no-nonsense approach is exactly what we needed. I saw…read moreCourtney for couples counseling during a time where my boyfriend & I both felt like we could really use a third-party intervention. My boyfriend and I are two strong people, and we needed a therapist to be sharp enough to call us out on our stuff. Not only did she prove a strong therapist, in the end I really got a sense that she cared about us. Perhaps it's a small thing, but it made the whole therapy experience real for me. It's amazing how our fights always seemed to be over they same small stuff, & Courtney helped us see that what we where fighting about wasn't necessarily about the content, but about much deeper needs both of us had. Knowing this, we now can have meaningful and productive conversations that often have a good outcome. I walked out of therapy seeing our relationship issues as just normal stuff people go through. What makes our couples counselor unique is that her style of counseling uses tools that she instructed us to use in session. We continue to be mindful and use these tools outside of our session. This hands-on approach gave us essential life skills that I just didn't get growing up...common sense skills to communicate with honesty and vulnerability and ways to avoid reactive fighting that so plagued us in the past. Again, I highly recommend Courtney Collier- she is the best in SF!

She has helped me through many of life's challenges throughout the years, including communicating better with my husband, parenting, career challenges and being a better person overall.

I would recommend her to anyone seeking to have a better relationship with their partner or wanting to better themselves personally.
