I have seen many therapists throughout my life, and Kate is the one I feel most taken care of by,…read moremost connected to, and most understood by. She is a fantastic therapist; she really listens and participates in the session, helping me talk back to distortions I have in my thinking. She is very attentive and has an amazing memory. By having appointments at various times of the day including earlier some days and into the late evenings other days, she is accommodating to what her patients need which I really appreciate. She also has a really simple and easy billing system - it sounds minor but paying therapists has ALWAYS been such a painful experience with everyone else that I've seen (remembering to bring my checkbook, having to coordinate to get a hand-written summary to send for insurance reimbursement, etc.). With Kate, I have auto-pay set up using my credit card, and I get a thorough monthly superbill emailed to me like clockwork to supply to insurance, so easy. She's the only therapist I've ever looked forward to seeing - knowing it will help me process what's going on in my day-to-day life and I'll come out with new solutions to try. She has helped me through some very difficult times. If I ever leave this area I think I would have to travel to keep seeing Kate.

I have been seeing Kirsten going on four years now. Before meeting Kirsten, I saw a good number of…read moretherapists, but none were a good match. She and I have a great connection and I was comfortable with her in the very beginning. She has helped me through some tough times I have had with my family. I am comfortable enough to tell Kirsten everything. She is caring, smart, funny, and has a huge heart. At one point I was feeling pretty badly for a while and she checked in with me often to make sure I was doing right things to feel better. She has seen me grow these past few years. I am grateful for having her and would not have done so much without her there. I definitely recommend her!

One Life Counseling Center is an amazing organization that truly supports and helps heal the local…read morecommunity. They offer mental health therapy on a sliding scale- no one should be denied mental health due to financial hardships. One Life also works with the San Carlos School District to provide Therapists at the schools. Seeing the need for better mental health in the local Hispanic community, One Life opened a satellite center (Una Vita) offering "Weekly Mom's Groups" and other programs to help. Also believing that food insecurity adds to mental distress, One Life also offers a weekly food market for their clients. I am both a volunteer and a member of my family is a client. I started volunteering back in March 2021 during the height of the pandemic when One Life was partnering with 2nd Harvest Food Bank to offer free food to families on a monthly basis. Since that time, the food market has morphed into a weekly endeavor with the help not only from 2nd Harvest Food Bank but Trader Joes, Target, Safeway, Noah's Bagels and others. One Life provides much needed fresh produce, meat, dairy, bread and canned goods to over 100 families on a weekly basis. I volunteer every Monday and I look forward to Mondays. I have developed such positive and caring relationships with other volunteers as well as many of the clients who come on Mondays. I see and hear first-hand what a positive impact One Life and the weekly food market has on the clients. I truly believe One Life Counseling Center is making a difference in their local community and beyond!

WHAT A GODSEND One Life Counseling has been for me! South County Mental Health in Redwood City…read morereferred me to the One Life Counseling Center in San Carlos being exactly what I needed! This is where I met Charmaine and Sarah. TWO ANGEL hearts! Charmaine Bridgens is my therapist. Whom I refer to her as Mrs Charming as "CHARM" is part of her name and for being so wonderfully charming and diligent in her counsel and positive reinforcement support of me. Counseling me with her beautiful sweet warm heart wise self. Conditioning my heart and soul to get well not only feel better but most importantly be HAPPY! That in consequence has aroused not only HOPE in my heart but also great admiration in me for Charmaine.. I also love Charmaine's accent and appreciate her angelic heart that was born in South Africa. YES I DO RECOMMEND ONE LIFE COUNSELING for everyone that needs help healing their heart!

Long overdue review. She is the only therapist I've met, so I don't have comparison points. But she…read morecombines what are probably traditional therapist practices with awareness, acceptance, cognitive methods and even Zen teachings (without really calling it out as some specific practice - I learned some things she covered were a part of Zen teachings after I "Googled" them to learn more) - it's a great and useful mix. To me, she initially came across as a bit uninterested/judgmental/somewhat distant (as a couple other reviews mentioned) but I put that down to her personal style, i.e. she did not come across to me as some TV version of a warm, approachable, tell-me-anything therapist. But her expertise is evident over time.

I started seeing Rebecca when I was on Stanford Campus and she was working for the Counseling service there. I was having some personal issues which I won't detail here (nosy, aren't you?) and she helped me move forward with my life. I still check in with her when I'm having troubles and I've found her therapy very useful. Rebecca uses cognitive and behavioral therapy and really stresses mindfulness and awareness. I found this approach very useful. She's really good at arming you with tools that you can use going forward, rather than simple solutions to a current issue. As an added bonus she has later evening appointments which works great for folks with jobs and schedules that are hard to rearrange.

Oh, how to describe Doreen...she is absolutely wonderful. I have seen Doreen in two pockets of…read moretime, before the pandemic and then after and it's been at least 3 years this time around. I have spoken to other mental health professionals before, and Doreen is special. She is well versed and educated past the 'requirements' of her field. She stays up to date with current industry standards, with industry journals and periodicals, and with events in the psychology field. She has never once been biased or forced opinions (which is how it's supposed to be, but I guess this isn't always the case), and she has always had additional resources and helpful suggestions. Instead of just talking about my issues and background she offers book titles, workshops she came across, workbooks---let me be clear that I asked for these recommendations, she does not require or even persuade me to look into these additional resources. She also has a lot of experience with many types of therapy and counseling, which I think makes her better across the board at her job. I very much value Doreen as a professional, and at this point think of her as on my advisory board of my personal life because she has helped me have so many breakthroughs over the years.

At the same time, it seems to me that she always provides a realistic and honest assessment of difficult situations, which is also important.
