Jamie is as amazing a therapist as is a genuinely kind person to talk to…read more During your session she will engage you and will recall things that you have told her months earlier. She will reflect on what she has learned about you, and with insight and great skill, make sense of your troubles. She does it with such compassion and effortlessness that a seasoned grandmother of a big family could learn from it! She is quite versatile; Jamie's therapeutic methods are very powerful and healing but she can also give down-to-earth, practical advise for "real life" situations. If you had a particularly tricky problem she can even recommend you to specialists because she is connected with other therapists. Her manners are warm and friendly, you feel like you are in good hands during your session. I have tried to go to therapy before but often it felt like I was having my teeth pulled without anesthetics. In contrast, Jamie makes you feel like you are having tea with a friend who cares about you a lot! Her office is clean and neat and is in a good part of town. She is fairly flexible to make appointments and asks for a reasonable fee well worth spending. After every session I came away with sighs of relief; Jamie's therapy will enable you to heal yourself and feel good about life.

In an academic setting she is incredibly kind, approachable, and disarming. She taught my classmates and I how to conduct thorough interviews and interpret psychodiagnostic assessment measures to construct an integrative and holistic view of each client's presenting concerns. Dr. Epstein placed much emphasis on the therapeutic value of assessment feedback and taught sensitive and creative approaches to relating assessment findings to clients.

From the moment I met her she listened intently and made me feel safe in using ketamine.

I am so grateful and feel very fortunate to have crossed paths with this wonderful person.

I am so pleased by the progress we have made, and I use the tools we practiced every day. I am especially grateful for Susan's non judgmental listening style and the way she asks questions that open the door to me understanding what is happening. It was very calming that our time together was structured with clearly set expectations, but also followed the flow of ideas. If you are considering working with a coach or counselor, you should put Susan at the top of your list.

Susan was my leadership coach at a time in my life where I wasn't quite sure what I needed but I knew I needed support. From the very beginning Susan helped me find clarity by inviting me to check in with myself and my body. She held me through a lot of transition in both my professional and personal life by teaching me to be resourceful and to begin to pay attention to my actual needs and wants. Her interdisciplinary background, ability to comfortably talk about race, power, and oppression and her understanding of nonprofit structures were critical to my ability to build and deepen trust with her. She shows up and then some. Grateful for her wisdom and ability to listen so deeply without judgement.

Jen is everything you want in a therapist: welcoming, charming, super smart, and endlessly…read moreresourceful. Her presence and authenticity are palpable, and it translates in such a way it often feels as though she is consistently going above and beyond, but in fact - it's just the way she shows up. At the core of her approach lies her unwavering compassion and empathy, which underpin every interaction she offers. Her guidance and support are consistently delivered with a sense of safety and warmth, and her gentle authority allows for new perspectives that resonate differently. I have seen a lot of different therapist throughout my life, and not because I was incredibly troubled, but rather because I was raised to believe that supporting your own mental heath shouldn't only happen in crisis. Working with Jen has reawakened my hope in how others can help each other, and she is an absolute treasure.

Jen is absolutely wonderful as a therapist, and as a person. Out of curiosity, I glanced at the…read moreother reviews and it's remarkable how we all conincide in both sentiment and specifics. When I went to her a few months ago, I knew that the relationship with a therapist depends on whether therapist and client "click." I was hopeful that it would work out, but I never imagined it could be this good. Jen is empathy personified, balance, curiosity, body- and mind-centered, appreciative of all aspects of what it is to be a person, but without any judgement at all. She makes me feel safe, held, seen and heard. If you are considering giving her a try, do. And if you do so, try to see her in person. Her voice carries all the traits I have described, and her body does too - if you see her in person it's like all the wonders are multiplied by two :) She helps me tremendously.

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.

EMDR is life changing and Danielle is incredibly skilled at guiding you through the process. If…read moreyou're considering it, do it. If you've come as far as looking up practitioners, you are ready. And if you're looking for someone experienced, knowledgeable, professional and supportive, Danielle is the one. I have been in more traditional therapy for years and I still also highly recommend that route, but there is something incredibly remarkable about EMDR and the way you are able to access, relive, reprocess and move beyond past traumas that have impacted the way you think, act, move and literally every other aspect of your current life. I discovered/uncovered some trauma that I didn't realize I had and Danielle helped guide me through the entire process. EMDR can be extremely profound and thus also difficult and painful. To have someone that i felt was experienced enough and able to recognize how I was moving through each phase made me feel supported, reassured and very capable of diving into my past so that I can better dive into my future. I honestly feel like every single person could benefit from EMDR and cannot say enough positive things about it or Danielle.

I felt like I was talking to someone with a loaded gun rather than a therapist. I couldn't reason with her and felt like I was being pelted with rocks and garbage. I made mistakes (I cancelled appointments and was late at times) but on our last phone call, she was downright mean and not a very good listener. She hung up on me! I was 100% wrong in her eyes. I made some mistakes-yes but she did not give me proper warning or an opportunity to correct them. She duped me over email! While I understand there are many good reviews and I went to her for almost a year. She will drop you if you cancel too many times and instead of simply having a conversation with you about it, she'll just do it. Not a great way to treat someone who is in "therapy"
