Finding a rational, empathetic, yet positive & intelligent therapist like Julie was an enormous…read morestroke of luck! She not only made it easy to open up about the mess that I'd made of my life, but neither did she shy away from helping me take responsibility for my own errors. Always gently encouraged me to find my own solutions. I have suggested her to every friend, or family member, who I knew was having trouble finding their way forward. She seems to always have just the right touch to nudge people in a direction that, as she says, they knew was the right way to go... but needed an impartial, caring person to help them discover what their hearts were already wise to. Seriously ~ after trying more therapists than I care to admit, I can recommend others to run, not walk, to Julie! Let her help you as she did me.. to take back control of my life. As she's said to me, no one else can control our destinies but ourselves. If we don't surrender our decisions & responsibilities to others, we'll never have to feel like we're spinning out of control again. That's a priceless gift we can learn to give ourselves. Thanks again Julie!

I can't say enough about Dr. Dalsimer. The problems that I was having with a particular family…read moremember amounted to something that I truly believed was beyond repair. I begrudgingly entered into family therapy so that I could at least demonstrate that I "tried." Never did I think that the relationship could not only be repaired but could be positive and joyful. Now, I have something that I never dared to hope to have: a loving, positive relationship with this family member. I am truly grateful for Dr. Dalsimer, her patience, wisdom, experience, and methods.

I started seeing Kei when changes in my career increased my stress and anxiety levels to an almost…read morecrippling degree. I was new to therapy, and Kei made the experience very comfortable. She gave me tools and resources to work on in between session so that each session built on the last. I was pleased to find that she wasn't just able to help me manage my stress and emotions, but she also became a coach to help me be better in the job I have now and plan for what might come in the future. For now, I have a much better grasp on my stress and more confidence in my career. I recommend Kei to anyone who is looking for a new therapist. If you are willing to be active in your therapy, Kei will give you the tools to help yourself. And there is comfort in knowing that if I need to speak with someone again, Kei is available and I am confident she will be able to help.

He's extremely patient, takes the time to really listen, and is thoughtful in how he responds to your needs rather than rushing the process.

Each session felt intentional, supportive, and grounding. If you're looking for a therapist who truly listens, respects your journey, and supports real healing, I highly recommend Michael.

After investing…read moretime with him I can say with 100% certainty that he deserves every amazing compliment given to him. I've been to highly regarded therapists who spread out meetings for months, consuming unnecessary time and investment. His superpower is that he epitomized complete altruism with laser sharp discernment and focused attention that facilitated deep healing of emotional wounds so buried I didn't even know they existed. He also leaves the door open for further growth and healing without feeling locked into a contractual relationship. Honestly he should patent his Method for all coaches to follow! I give him the highest possible rating and encourage others to not hesitate reaching out to him.

Lisa helped create a safe and comfortable environment for us to openly talk about ourselves, our relationship and our goals. She provided many different worksheets and tools to help facilitate honest discussions and conversations about potential barriers. If any questions or disagreements arose, we discussed them with her and she helped provide tips for better communication to create a resolution. Overall, my fiancé and I feel that we grew much closer and our connection became ever deeper through premarital counseling which is exactly what we were looking for.

We had a session with Lisa Strong, and I just don't think she was what my husband and I needed in…read morethat moment. I have to admit, I was probably in a bit of a crisis mindset since our issues were bubbled at the surface, so it felt like the session was unorganized, which I know I contributed to that. She didn't get any information prior to our session, so it felt like she went in blind and didn't have any frame or reference to what help we needed. At the end of the first session, she gave us "homework" which I think would have been tremendously helpful had it been done prior to the first session so that my husband and I could organize our thoughts, and she could have some indication of the help we needed so that she could be most effective in the session. They don't take insurance, so paying cash for a session, you really want to be able to make the most of the money spent. I think bc of her unfamiliarity with our situation, she made some suggestions that were obvious and things we had already done. I also felt like she made other suggestions for things that were not issues we were seeking services for. My husband and I both felt like it wasn't the most effective session, but that is how therapy works! You keep "shopping" until you find someone you feel best with. I will say she was patient and calm, and did allow me to speak. She made sure to include all parties and really was solution focused. I think she can be very effective for some, I just think it was my poor demeanor related to the need for therapy that marred our visit.
