Dr. Collisson has definitely changed my life and arguably saved it…read more I've gone from life-threatening crisis to full recovery over the last year and a half. After 6 years of misdiagnosis and over-medication I was suffering from extreme chronic illness both physically and mentally. I came to her on at least 8 long-term medications, disabled and in total crisis. Through detailed testing, attentive personal conversations and her connecting and coordinating with my other specialists, Dr. Collisson pieced together the wicked puzzle that eluded at least a dozen prior doctors. I am no longer disabled at all. She empowered me to finally understand and control my own health. Today I feel healthier and stronger than I was in my 20s. I've only maintained one of the 8 medications and I've reduced the dose. I'm on one new permanent medication, but it's making a clearly understood and observable improvement to my health. I can't thank her enough! ...It's no small wonder that she is so over-subscribed and unable to accept new patients.

Dr. Collisson is an exceptional physician whose focus is mind-body healing. She works with people…read moreseeking healthier lifestyles, including patients wishing to overcome sleep issues, improve diet, and/or manage stress more effectively. She works with individuals to discover the root causes of the situation and to find a holistic approach to healing. Not only is Dr. Collisson a great listener, but she is an incredibly intuitive person who is sincerely interested in one's well-being. Her process of learning about me and my lifestyle is very organic; conversation is very relaxed and never feels forced. She has a fantastic sense of humor, too, which helps to maintain a sense of balance in discussions. I like that she is dedicated to spending an entire hour with you each time, to maximize the outcomes of the visit (unlike most doctors I've been to, I never feel rushed). She is very good at piecing together aspects of one's life and using that information for individualized treatment. Going to Dr. Collisson is the best decision I've ever made in terms of my health, and I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an integrative medicine specialist.

I couldn't recommend Kathleen more as a therapist. She leads her sessions with compassion,…read morecuriosity, and mindfulness. Her ability to ask the right questions and focus on what I need most is invaluable. Going into sessions, I don't feel stressed or like I need to "prepare" since the conversation flows naturally and the challenges I'm experiencing surface easily. I always come out of the session feeling like a weight is lifted and I have specific techniques I can try if needed. Lastly, her flexibility for sessions on different days based on my schedule is great and she's also open to switching it up and doing a phone call over a video call if I want to go on a walk or need a change of scenery.

She leads with understanding so you never feel judged, and she provides an open and safe environment for you to sort through your problems and navigate challenging situations. I look forward to my sessions with her each week, and I hope others are able to benefit from the support and guidance that she provides. Highly recommend Kathleen if you're looking for a therapist!

After hearing positive feedback from some of her previous associates through online networking, I had actually reached out to her with interest over a year prior to joining her practice. The stars aligned just when I was struggling from burnout in a public health setting. Dr. Kwan is warm, genuine, empathetic, and knowledgeable. I appreciate the thoughtful ways in which she inquires, draws connections, and reflects her understanding. More than just demonstrating her keen listening, but also her astuteness. She has depth and breadth of experience, not only in clinical practice and current trends in mental health and society, but also in the business and ethical aspects of private practice. I think it's important to mention that she provides an ethical compensation structure, which not all private practices engage in. I feel privileged in having Dr. Kwan's clinical and professional guidance as I navigate the transition to private practice!

I highly recommend Sarah; sticking with her throughout the process was one of the best things I've ever done!

I was debating whether I should see marriage therapist or a therapist for myself. I chose me and that was the best decision ever along with making the decision to make the time to see Jacyln. From the moment we spoke, I felt an instant ease and ability to open up to her. She helped me realize things about myself I had forgotten and the importance of putting myself 1st and listening to my own intuition. She is a true gift and healer. She made me realize how important your own mental health is. She made a huge impact and difference in my life and words can not express how greatful I am for her.

I found Dr. Cohen on Yelp in December when I was battling a particularly nasty bout of depression…read more My usual refuges of eating healthier, exercising, or diving into hobbies weren't improving my mood. I lacked motivation, excitement for activities I once loved, and felt incapable of working, so after months of suffering I called Dr. Cohen. I've seen therapists off and on at various stages of my life, typically to talk about how I was currently feeling or my childhood. Though it was nice to talk to someone, I never felt like I made progress, developed coping tools or learned why *like clockwork* I'd spend 1/2 the year in a depressed state. In just a few months since seeing Dr. Cohen, I've had several breakthroughs which have helped me to understand the source of my depression. I'm also learning to be mindful of my triggers, so that I don't feel completely consumed by my emotions. I've been able to return to work and I've gone from being a withdrawn, shell of myself to feeling the full variety of my emotions. I'm still in recovery, but I'm learning to be patient with myself, to be kinder to myself, and to be more flexible. I wish I'd had Dr. Cohen earlier in my life, but I'm thankful to be in her care now and have her support. If you're ready to earnestly put in the work to get better, do yourself a favor and give her a call today.

For the plus side, I think she's a decent listener and she would be a good therapist for people…read morethat mostly have their lives together and have a lot of money to spend on therapy. I think for any struggling individual, I would strongly recommend avoiding her as a doctor/therapist. Dr. Cohen saw my mother 1-4 times a month over the course of a year. To list out all of the unprofessional, uncaring, ways Dr. Cohen has treated my mother and me as clients would take too long to write and too long to read, so I'll try to stick with the bigger issues. 1. Dr. Cohen discharged my mother from her care due to her and me being "too difficult of clients" before going on a month-long vacation. I believe Dr. Cohen's health isn't what it once was, and I believe at this point in her career she is only looking for "easy" cases. 2. After discharging my mother from her care, Dr. Cohen kindly gave us a few months of prescription refills. After I was unable to get them extended by a few urgent care doctors and came to Dr. Cohen for help, she refused to extend any refills. I offered to pay for another session in exchange for one last extension. She reluctantly agreed, called the pharmacy to extend the prescription by one final month, and then charged me $900 for 3 sessions. This is months after discharging us from her care and she has never seen us since, the only care she has given us was a phone call to the pharmacy. *EDIT* Dr. Cohen has since refunded us $900 after seeing this yelp review and receiving calls from my credit card company. 3. Dr. Cohen prides herself on therapy over drugs. Her website and my first meetings with her convinced me that she was someone I could trust to really attempt to fix problems rather than increasing drug dosages. I was wrong. For every new issue that came up, Dr. Cohen's first response was to recommend increasing medication dosages. For my mother's drowsiness during the day, the first thing she recommended was to increase her sleeping medication rather than focusing on behaviors that could have impacted her sleep (caffeine intake, lack of exercise, etc.) Aside from those big 3 issues, there were a handful of minor issues that I've seen in some other yelp reviews. 4. She often, and unnecessarily, takes client time to fumble with technology. She is very clearly not technically proficient, yet she insists on using client time to attempt to set up apps / open google spreadsheets, etc. She doesn't come prepared to sessions and doesn't want to do any of this outside of client time. 5. Despite my mother's native tongue clearly not being English, Dr. Cohen speaks overly academically and focuses more on expressing herself vs. being understood. Her language was often either pretentious or condescending, with little in-between. 6. After almost every session, she encouraged me to write a Yelp review. Maybe just a pet peeve but I don't think you should give subpar service and then ask your customer to write a review. Overall, I think there are people out there that Dr. Cohen is capable of helping. However, I genuinely do not believe that Dr. Cohen is capable of helping people that are actually in need of help. For that reason I believe her to be the most disappointing medical professional I have ever come across.

There were multiple times when she did not respond to email within her promised time frame and where she incorrectly claimed to have ordered tests. We were lucky an outside doctor would help us with an urgent matter when Dr. Punwani would not even answer our email. We did get self-promotional emails, such as one asking for positive reviews of her self-published book. UPDATE: Dr. Puwani responded to my review by writing (among other things): "My book is a labor of love and gift to the community that can relate to it I have no commercial or professional gain from it so I don't go around promoting it except when it was released 2 years ago I informed everyone If someone tells me they enjoyed my book and want to post a review i leave it to them". I have a bulk email from her dated March 17, 2025, in which she wrote that her second book "has gone for publication. As soon as I know from the publisher that its avaialble for sale on amazon, I will send you an email again. Would be grateful for your positive review if you do decide to purchase the book."

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...

When I first met Amy five years ago, I had no idea how profoundly she would impact my life. I remember being immediately struck by her intelligence, depth, and kindness. I felt so inspired by Amy that, after meeting her, I also decided to pursue a career in counseling. Over the years, Amy has been my mentor, colleague, and guide, and she has supported my personal growth every step of the way. Amy has inspired me to take on professional challenges I'd never dreamed of. I co-facilitated my first ever workshop with Amy. I participated in my first ever group process facilitated by Amy. I discovered the magic of restorative yoga because of Amy. Whether as a psychotherapist, yoga instructor, or group facilitator, Amy is intuitive and sharp. Amy is the real deal- I can not recommend Amy's services more highly.
