A friend recommended Chad when I was looking for a coach to support envisioning the next chapter of my career. I'm so glad I took the leap, as this work has improved all areas of my life-- not just at work. He connects aspects of mindfulness, spirituality, and psychology in a way that deeply resonated with me. The work was challenging, refreshingly to the point, and very much worth the effort. I felt supported through it all. Chad is an incredibly intuitive and generous coach, and I wish everyone was able to experience this kind of coaching and support. Go for it!

He has an incredible ability to listen deeply while also offering thoughtful, practical guidance that actually helps you move forward. What stands out most is the balance he brings: he is warm and funny, yet also sharp and professional in how he approaches complex dynamics. His insights are consistently thoughtful and grounded, and he has a way of helping you see things more clearly without ever making you feel judged. Marriage therapy can feel vulnerable, but with Figs it feels constructive, safe, and helpful. And dare I say enjoyable. We've made real progress because of his guidance, and I'm incredibly grateful for the role he has played in helping strengthen our relationship. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with him is very fortunate.

When she became licensed, started her own practice and moved away, I lost access so stopped going to therapy for about a decade. After a recent year long search through my insurance w/0 luck, I decided to check back in w/ Marina counseling center, and after about a week I was matched up with a therapist who I am equally happy and doing great work with. They have a stellar vetting process for who they allow to work there, and their therapists also study under more experienced and educated therapists, so you get many checks and balances for your mental health. In all honesty, the therapists going for their degrees through Marina counseling center have far surpassed a number of "licensed" therapists that I was matched up with through my insurance, who I can only assume were licensed through degree mills. I would trust any therapist working here over anyone found in the wild, any day, and they also charge on a sliding scale, which is super helpful when you're paying out of pocket/on a fixed income.

She is an intuitive and empathetic listener, offers stellar feedback and advice and really, really cares about her clients in a genuine and heartfelt way. Its not always easy finding a GOOD therapist, and especially one who is a good "fit," but everything felt really right with Laura and I was able to open up easily, feeling quite cared for and supported. If you're looking for a kind, compassionate therapist to help you through whatever is going on in your life, you should give Laura a try (and I think you'll be quite relieved to find such a gem in the psychotherapy world!)

After I told her that I had a miscarriage, that my grandma died, that I had been sick for two years and that I had to terminate a wanted pregnancy, she said "that must have been so hard" with a pained expression on her face. Yes, obviously, it was really hard. That's why I went to therapy. That could have been an appropriate reaction if I was sobbing or in distress, but I wasn't... I was calm and collected, so her reaction was extremely jarring. It felt like she was putting on a show.

I highly recommend seeing her for individual or group work, as she will gently and lovingly hold space to allow whatever needs to emerge and transform.

Brittany is honestly INCREDIBLE. I proactively searched her name on Google because the least I can…read moredo in return (for her helping me through so much) is share how wonderful she is through a review. I've always wanted to find a therapist who I felt really took the time to understand me while also being thoughtful enough to highlight patterns/insights about myself that I might not be noticing. With other therapists I tried (I went to about 4-5 other people), I always left the sessions feeling really neutral. As in I didn't feel like my previous therapists took the time to understand ME and instead gave me more generic advice that could apply to anyone. Brittany is not like that at all! She remembers the little details, and points out patterns/behaviors/things that I do all the time and I find myself having so many ah-ha moments with her. I always look forward to our sessions because I can't wait to get her nuggets of wisdom and comfort in helping me through both the small struggles and the big ones. I truly am so grateful to have found Brittany. If you're usually picky about who you want to work with, then she is your person. She is completely worth it and someone I will go to for as long as possible :]

This review isn't going to be quite as fun to read as my waxing poetic on hush puppies or pork…read morebelly ramen, but it's an important one. My childhood had some stuff. I mean *stuff*. Not that I need to get in a pissing contest with you about your stuff, but let's say at least 80th percentile bad stuff, here. Now, I knew for a few years that seeing a therapist would be a good idea. I wanted to gain some peace from all that stuff, and sort out how to better relate to other people without past demons getting in the way. I had no idea how I would get there. Or how it would be possible. Or even that it was possible. But that, folks, is why you pay for professional help. Brittany is most certainly professional. This is someone who knows what the hell she's talking about, and more importantly, what you're talking about. Often I've found she understands my motivations and reactions before I do. Crucially, Brittany is not afraid to call you out on your bullshit. Not in a confrontational or hostile way, but she will assert a different perspective when she sees one. Which is awesome, since this helps change patterns of thinking. And that's been the whole pattern of my work with her: getting help reconfiguring my brain, updating my perspectives and ensuring I see the larger context of how I act, feel and think. From the beginning, Brittany set herself apart by pointing out that she didn't want to milk my checkbook for years and years. In the space of just a few months, I've enjoyed a huge improvement in my sense of self and well-being. All without wallowing endlessly in bad memories and past traumas. Though the past provides useful context, the bulk of our work together has concerned the here-and-now. Which is great, since that's where you can actually change things. This is way beyond what my limited expectations would have allowed. So get off your ass and get to work on yourself, if that's what you need, and see if you like Brittany. You'll find her very easy to talk to and full of keen insight on the quirks of your mental state. One of my greatest joys is discovering people who are superlatively good at what whatever work they've applied themselves to. In that I can give Brittany my highest endorsement.

However, because of the nature of the work that Dana Iscoff is privy to, it would feel really irresponsible not to warn other parents. I will simply quote a quote of another review (that's right 3 of us saying this) that really nails our experience with Dana : 'The woman has no boundaries, is arrogant, obnoxious and narcissistic'. I will add sexist and absolutely disengaged. If you have any desire to co-parent amicably, that will not happen with Dana. If you have any desire to work with someone who cares at all about the children involved, do NOT work with Dana. She is self-involved, inconsistent, and seems most concerned with collecting financial retainers. Stay away. Her reviews speak for themselves- she has the lowest reviews of an Ma/MFT in San Francisco- in SAN FRANCISCO, therapist Mecca. Im only writing this because her first impression is pretty solid but it immediately devolves and I am hoping to spare other couples/parents- otherwise Id never bother with this.

Jessica's style was perfect for me. Her attentive listener, thoughtful and knowledgeable feedback, insightful suggestions and sharing of resources, and her gentle but focused encouragement, all contributed to my progress as I climbed out of a deep hole which had previously seemed inescapable. I have a revitalized passion for life and I owe much of it to the work I did with Jessica., who always kept my long term goals in mind and took every effort to provide a warm space to work in. I am so thankful for Jessica's approach, the space and support provided, and her holistic sense of what I needed in a given session. The knowledge and habits I have developed as a result of Jessica's care and support have made a huge difference in my life. Coming to the Connective was a wonderful development for me and I am forever appreciative of my time with Jessica. I feel ready to continue my journey and excited to continue my progress with the insights I have gleaned about myself, my relationships with others, and my outlook on life. As insurance did not cover our sessions, I paid totally out of pocket. That is the only reason why I am withdrawing from therapy; the sessions were worth the price, but my financial realities mean I need to take a break from The Connective. The fact that I stayed with the Connective for so long evidences that I found the experience truly helpful and rewarding. I would not hesitate to recommend this organization in general and Jessica in particular. Thank you!

I started with the 8 weeks plan with the option to extend. I am finishing up my 8 weeks and I put in the work and stayed committed to working with Tess every week. I feel transformed, empowered and have so much clarity. I trusted the process and now am going to extend my time with Tess as there is more ground to cover, especially around professional development. I am so glad Tess is my life coach.

She also empowered me to make the necessary changes and gave me the right tools to tackle all that problems that hindered my personal growth.

I came here because I needed help with my mental health after my husband's accidental passing. I've attended about 5-6 sessions, and my story is deeply traumatic. Every session has been incredibly difficult for me. I struggle to talk about what happened, but I do it because I believe the therapy will help. I cry in almost every session. Eventually, I was diagnosed with PTSD. Then, out of nowhere, I received a letter saying they needed to stop my sessions. Later, they called and told me it was due to my health insurance, and my psychologist wasn't in-network. They offered to transfer me to another psychologist within the network or let me continue with the same one if I paid the full price out of pocket. Do you think it's easy for me to start over and retell the story of how I found my husband after he passed? Don't you think that will just retraumatize me? Are you here to help me or hurt me more?
