Luckily, I live in the Bay now, where therapy seems to be the trendy thing to do, and so I decided to try it for the first time. I was recommended by a friend to Valerie, and it was mind-blowing how easy everything was. I'd always thought of therapy as you see it in the movies, with an older, traditional person asking you, 'And how do you feel about that?' while you're lying down, wishing you were anywhere else but in that room. A session with Valerie felt more like a conversation with a best friend who was simply curious about why I was feeling a certain way. She'd ask interesting questions that would make me go, 'Ooh! I've never thought about that before,' and in the process of coming up with my answer, I'd realize all of these things about myself that had never come up before. I don't know how she does it with such simple questions while still making it seem like a fun hang out session with a friend, but I was mind-blown. Definitely would recommend anyone to talk with her!!!

I have known Mary Deggelman since 2007 and I can't say enough nice things about her. I went to…read moreschool with her, and she is a phenomenal therapist. I appreciate her therapeutic orientation. She is a very skilled therapist if you need someone who is holistic. She is one of the healthiest people I know, body and mind. If you seek someone who can support you in a period of transition, growth, mourning, grief, or stagnation, she is the ideal therapist. I often recommend patients to her because I trust her judgment and theoretical orientation.

Mary has been such a blessing in my life and has impacted our lives in such a positive way!!! She…read morehas been extremely helpful in my personal life as well as my entire families. Her style of therapy was captivating to all of us and exactly what we needed. The fact that you don't sit in an office for the entire session but rather take a walk together in the fresh air really allowed us to open up. I first started seeing Mary when my daughter was in the third grade. I was searching for tools to help in our mother/daughter communication challenges. Not only did Mary provide a sense of comfort to me, but also to my daughter. It was awesome showing my daughter that I am willing to do anything to make sure our relationship stronger than ever because a mother/daughter bond is so important. Mary really helped my daughter develop ways to communicate to us and provided her a safe outlet. Throughout these sessions, Mary helped identify issues that I suppressed for years and were just surfacing when I became a parent. She identified underlying topics, helped me cope with them, and then provided tools to overcome them! She not only help me with ways to open up and heal myself but also is making me a better mom, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. My family saw such a difference in me, that they were open to the idea of therapy and had full trust in Mary. I have seen Mary for personal, couple, and family therapy! Walking and talking was the perfect therapy. When you are walking you are just talking to "as trusted person" and opening up about various topics. These tools are life strategies you take with you long after your sessions with Mary. If you are looking for someone to talk to for your self, your children, your spouse, or all of the above, I would highly recommend Mary. My entire family would say the same!!!

She is a great listener who gently guides you towards the ways within that help you sort yourself out. This last year I started neurofeedback therapy with her in order to help me better manage my anxiety, and I am so glad I did. After each neurofeedback session you feel relaxed and centered, and over time you start to notice greater positive changes. The best part is that Natalia takes the time to explain and walk you through the process, does a great job of helping you keep track of your progress, and makes adjustments as needed.

She is a seasoned veteran who thinks deeply about the issues presented to her, and provides help that is nuanced, kind, and illuminating. It can be difficult to find a psychologist who is as experienced, skilled, and sharp as Dr. Hess, so if you have the opportunity to work with her I strongly recommend doing so. (It appears to me that another review here might be in error, and I wonder if they mistakenly reviewed the wrong person...)

Update/response to Judye's response: The fact that she tries to defend herself (nearly a year…read morelater...) is absolutely disgusting. Confidentiality still needs to be maintained at all times despite the relationship. Judging from someone who's been in practice for over 40 years with 2 yelp reviews, that says a lot. I repeat, avoid at all costs. She is a despicable person and completely ruined my relationships within my family due to her divulging a significant family trauma to me. And she reviews to other "other reviews", as in your only other review in 40 years? Hmmm...
