I was Dr. Monkarsh's patient for two years, and it was the best gift I have given myself. He…read morehelped me change my life entirely and I am grateful for his services. There is no price tag that can repay him for helping me transform from sad and feeling hopeless in a challenging long-term marriage to now being happy, strong, energetic, goal-oriented, and enthusiastic about life. I am my "old self" once again. That is priceless. I am of Hispanic-American ethnicity, and seeking therapy is a cultural "taboo" in my family. Yet, after over 22 years in a very difficult marriage and extreme unhappiness I knew that I needed professional help that could help me get clarity. It was with trepidation that I entered his office, and I immediately realized that Dr. Monkarsh was professional, an excellent listener, genuine, compassionate and yet straight-forward in a gentle manner. He asked me open-ended questions, without judgment, that made me think of my situation and how I could solve challenges. Because I am a task-oriented individual, he gave me weekly assignments and we picked up from there each session. It was not easy to do the soul-searching and face hard areas of my life, but he never gave up on me and he genuinely cared. He was a non-biased clinical psychologist who was honest with me, even when it was difficult. He was the confidential professional that I needed to help me transform my life. I felt safe, respected and not alone. Dr. Monkarsh is now working with my 23-year old daughter and he is helping her with the same care and professionalism he offered me as his past patient. As a mom, I am extremely grateful for the help he is providing her and I feel relieved and at peace that my daughter is receiving his services. My daughter and I do not discuss their sessions and I respect her privacy, yet I see the positive changes in her life through her work with Dr. Monkarsh as well. I am fortunate to have been Dr. Monkarsh's patient. My only regret is that I had not worked with him decades before.

I have nothing but the highest respect for Dr. Snyder as an excellent psychologist. I've found her…read moreapproach to be both compassionate and very well attuned. She's highly trained and very experienced. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend my closest friends and family to her. In short: she's the best of the best, and if you can get in to see her you are in good hands. P.S., I see that there are some critical reviews on here, and my guess is that it might reflect that Dr. Snyder works with some very complicated people.... If you are thinking of working with Dr. Snyder, don't be dissuaded, as she's an excellent and highly experienced psychologist.

After 4 months of sincere reflection, I have decided to make this review to warn others because I…read moredon't want any other innocent person, seeking support + healing in therapy, to instead end up harmed by Dr. Snyder in a similar way to what I experienced working with her. I worked with Rose for over 3 years + did meaningful healing work. She had taken her annual month off during the summer. At our second session after her long break, I was catching her up on several life updates. She decided one of the situations I shared was cause to report me to CPS. She asked me not a single clarifying question about this incident, but instead used time in that same session to talk about her family chaos + a deeply traumatic situation with her friend. The disclosure she made of her friend was about them being stabbed with scissors by their child and nearly dying. She told me nothing about what was done, support sought, or if the friend was even ok. I felt deeply sorry for her friend, but she shared this inappropriate (and frightening for me) story knowing I had a very significant trauma history that was closely aligned to this story. Even more problematic, Rose shared this while failing to ask me any questions about what I shared, that she wildly misunderstood. She then proceeded to institutionalize harm against my family with misinformation. A deeply unethical course of action according to every other mandated reporter + therapist I have now run this by. So in the therapy session after her extended work break she shares this traumatizing story with me that deeply frightens me + reopens some scary parallel trauma while in the background, she quickly moves forward + files an unwarranted CYA report to CPS against me within 24 hours of that session. She claims she submitted an extra addendum to CPS about what a good parent I was + all the efforts I was making to care + support my child. But who reports suspicion of harm while also knowing a child was not in any kind of danger? Had she asked me a single follow up question it would have absolutely clarified what she grossly misunderstood. In the past 4 months I have gone on a quest to find another mandated reporter who would have proceeded similarly, + I have yet to find one. Most folks I have talked to about this fallout were shocked + concerned about her deeply unethical choice of action + what she chose to disclose in that session. Most noted that she should have, + could have, clarified on that call to make certain her report was being made in good conscious + with clear understanding. Or she could have asked for a follow up session with me. She did none of those things. Therapists were in disbelief that she proceeded in the way that she did causing such unnecessary + irrevocable harm. This experience for me was one of betrayal, relational trauma + violation the likes of which I have never experienced by a trusted other. By lodging that report, I had to tell my child the very next day that someone might show up at school to interview them without me present (this is the standard CPS practice for school age children). Rose knew my child's profile well + how traumatic such an interview would be for her. She also knew my child was deeply loved, cared for, + supported in my home. + yet she chose to proceed anyway + risk traumatizing us (which she successfully did). The outcome of said meeting could have resulted in my child being taken from school, without me knowing where she was, + temporarily placed in foster care for 48 hours with a family she did not know, if CPS had any questions about her well-being or if they saw any bruise or anything that made them suspicious about her safety. The risk for serious + lifelong harm was set in motion by Rose's unbelievably misguided choice. This is standard CPS process + an ethical therapist should know the process, risks, + level of endangerment that is related to their actions. Rose ENDANGERED my family. My child has been having ongoing nightmares about the interview + being taken from our family. This is a direct result of Rose's unethical actions. CPS dropped the case after 2 weeks without even interviewing us. The whole purpose of that agency is to protect kids in danger + in reading the report they could clearly see that my child is not in any kind of danger. Rose knew that well which makes her choice all the more baffling. The report should never have been made. I was left traumatized, in shock, confused, hurting, with a kid panicking. Rose wouldn't respond to my emails, concerns or questions, + then within days sent me a boiler plate termination of service completely abandoning her care. It is antithetical to the core purpose of relational therapy. It is a deep harm I will probably be working to heal for the rest of my life. Protect your well-being, steer clear of Rose, + find another practitioner.

A year and a half ago, I started seeing Claire and immediately realized that I had found something new. Compassion, trust, accountability, and a strong desire to help me be successful. I had never experienced this level of attention, focus, and ultimately, a sense of success and happiness. Claire provides a comforting approach to dark and difficult places. She allows a natural progression through emotions, conversation, and action items. Therapy requires work, and sometimes we feel discouraged from continuing. Claire makes treatment feel like a mental serum for self-confidence, accomplishment, and motivation. I am a massive supporter of therapy and self-care. I am the best version of myself today because of my work with Claire. I am still working on things in my life, which I believe is a continuous process. Claire has become my grounding point for emotional and physical change in my life. If you are considering therapy or need a change, Claire Colaco is someone I highly recommend. Be kind to yourself.

My mind couldn't handle the idea of eternity and I would just panic when I thought about it. I thought Past Life Regression would help so I reached out to Judith for hypnosis. At the time, Judith did not do PLR, so instead we focused on my family issues (I had many) and my fear of dying and it all helped me so much. I was able to make some big decisions in my life, set some boundaries that needed to be set, and I was able to take on some responsibilities with a more open mind. Then in the spring of 2021 I got an email from Judith that she was now offering Past Life Regression and I was so excited. I made an appointment immediately and went through the PLR process for the first time last week. It was amazing! Judith was so compassionate and present for the entire thing. Even if I said something that sounded so odd to me, I could hear that she was smiling when she talked and she just accepted everything as it happened in my PLR session and that made me fully accept it all, too. And the crazy thing is that I saw this whole other life that my soul had and I felt SO connected to it. Even a week later, it still brings tears to my eyes. I smile when I think about her and her family and the love she felt and the souls she knew in that life. It brings such comfort to me now as I face hard things in this life. It was so beautiful and such a wonderful experience and Judith was the perfect person to help me with this. I cannot recommend Judith enough. She is an amazing human being and helped me so much.
