In that year of working closely with her, and all the years following that, I have been consistently impressed with her warmth, her depth of insight, and her absolute commitment to growing her skill as a therapist. Now as a seasoned therapist in San Carlos, I send clients her way on a regular basis with the confidence that they will get the support and guidance that they need. Catherine is one of those therapists who has a real balance of heart and head, knowing when a client needs gentle empathy and then knowing when to ask the difficult questions that sometimes need to be asked.

A good therapist is hard to find unless you happen to call Dr. Judi Bucholtz. She is By far one of…read morethe greatest mental health professionals in the LA area. Anyone living in LA can tell you that there are therapists in every corner. Everyone can get a psych degree open up a practice and reiterate textbook mumbo jumbo but not everyone can adapt to the patient's communication style and offer aid in the way that best suits that individual. I have had my fair share of disappointing therapy sessions with "therapists" who are mostly there for their own self serving purpose or sit around and just "listen" without challenging me or giving me any direction or focus. Dr. Bucholtz is a cut above the rest and is a professional in every sense of the word. Aside from being extremely skilled in the field of psychotherapy and communication, she is an empathetic, understanding and an extremely effective therapist. Her dialogue is always geared towards enhancing the experience and elevating one's understanding of the situation at hand. There must always be a delicate balance between being empathetic while giving the patient his/her space, and knowing when to be assertive in an effort to elicit forward progression (in the session). This comes naturally to Dr. Bucholtz and she moves through each session with ease. If you are looking for a person who will just sit and nod their head you may want to look elsewhere, but if you are looking for a strong dedicated individual with many years of experience and exceptional communication skills then Dr. Bucholtz is the one I would recommend. She was my therapist for over 3 years and I owe a great deal of my personal growth to her.

Dr. Bucholtz is a fabulous therapist, because she will tell it like it is. She holds people…read moreaccountable for their actions, as any good therapist should. I can imagine some parents (especially those who have issues to work out) don't like to be told they may have issues they need to work on, or that they may be contributing to the difficulties their child may be facing. Some parents expect a therapist to be more of a mechanic - a person they can drop their kid off with, get it "fixed", and then pick it up like so much dry cleaning. Judi doesn't work that way, precisely because she cares about the child. This isn't to say she's not diplomatic. She is one of the most compassionate, caring people I know, which is why I continue to work with her. But I have also witnessed interruptions first hand - unstable individuals who insist they are more important than other patients Judi may be helping at the moment. This is, after all, Los Angeles. The sense of entitlement here is breathtaking - both in some adults and some of their offspring. I certainly couldn't do what Dr. Bucholtz does, on an ongoing basis. How she keeps her cool, sees through the agitation or attitude in patients for what it really is (usually pain), and manages to calm them down, is remarkable. I have seen my share of therapists, and am well aware that they can vary greatly in quality and competence. But therapy saved my life years ago. I rely on the tools I learned over the years to keep me sane, and my children balanced. Blaming the therapist because you or your child hasn't improved is like blaming your fitness trainer because you refuse to stick to a diet or exercise regimen. It just doesn't make sense. If you're not getting the results you expect, move on to another therapist (or trainer). Or, perhaps examine why, if the therapist is so horrible, you insist on sticking with the routine you say isn't helping. (For the record, in ten years of therapy, I never received a card from my therapist. Not once. I've chosen a therapist precisely because she's NOT my mom.) Your fitness trainer can't force you to exercise or stop eating cake. That part is up to you. A therapist can't force you to confront you demons and change your behavior. That's up to you. He or she is there to guide, reassure, and offer an understanding based in pathology. I am a great believer in the healing abilities of good therapy. I also believe a truly gifted therapist has to be capable of enormous compassion, patience, and wisdom. With some very abusive patients, it can be a thankless, tormenting, even frightening endeavor. Yet therapists like Dr. Bucholtz take it on daily, eager to guide the lost, confused souls to stability and calm. That's all any of us really want, isn't it? Insight? Understanding? Peace with ourselves? No one can provide a quick fix. But at the end of the day, every day, if you're willing, Dr. Bucholtz has your back. She is on your side. And STILL, whether you like it or not, she'll tell it like it is. Deal with it, and she will help you, with truth.Tell me that isn't what you're looking for.

The exposure assignments she had me do empowered me. She had me yell at my anxiety and realize I have a choice to live with it or conquer it. Lynne is brilliant. She is highly trained in anxiety and panic disorder. She knows her stuff. I remember her telling me because I would ask her all the time, do you think I'll ever be normal again and be able to do things and she would say yes if you do the work. Lynne also helped me by communicating with my psychiatrist on what meds were working, and which ones were not. She helped me alleviate my fear to use anxiety meds through this difficult part of my life and not be scared of them. Even when we were doing telemedicine, I was still able to put myself in a place and imagine a scenario in my head where I had to deal with my fears. I just felt so safe and trusting with her. Lynne saved my life, I will always be grateful to her. I still have panic attacks once in a great while, but the tools Lynne left me with help me fight them and they don't escalate.

They only cared about collecting funds but really did not help to deal with the underlying issues that were happening. Dr. Faye uses interns which are not well trained or knowledgeable to handle issues that are very advanced. Then on top of that you reach out to her for guidance and she really has no clue what occurred in the sessions as she was not well informed or it was not communicated, but then acts on only what she was told or knows, and tells you to deal with it your not gonna get anything better than you have. That is so unprofessional instead of offering other guidance. Dr. Faye comes across as a person who cares and will help you, but when you decline to not pay for her services any further due to financial hardship, she gets nasty and pretty much tells you go away and deal with what your given. I am not making any of this up as I have proof or her rudeness in emails the minute you cant afford the services anymore. I will never recommend her services to anyone as her interest is not in helping the families but collecting the funds.

This is a review about Uri: I reached out to Uri for…read moreprofessional help, after years of struggling with emotional instability. Uri helped me tremendously by creating a safe space in which I felt heard, understood, in the most fundamental level I've ever experienced. The work we've done together allowed me to reconcile my past, learn from my life experiences, and grow. In addition, Uri and I worked together with the IPEC therapy method to overcome certain physical issues I was dealing with (massive hair loss, hemeroids, over weight). Uri is a professional in the utmost sense of the word. His services may not be cheap, but his time is worth every penny, because he just understands you, and is not afraid to dig deep to get to the root cause of issues, to help you solve them forever. Also, meeting via Skype video calls was super convenient for my busy schedule. I would wholeheartedly recommend Uri to anyone, whether you're looking to grow, and improve your life, or if you're struggling with any emotional turmoil. Sincerely, Leora
