I worked with Dr Tom a few years ago to evaluate my long term professional goals. At that time I…read moremade the decision to pivot from public health work and got my PMP certification which I used within the Federal landscape and with a Fortune 500 company since. I recently re-engaged with Dr. Tom as I was considering another professional shift-- from employee to entrepreneur-- and worked with Dr. Tom for a few sessions to discuss the idea, hear about his experience, and leverage the time to thoughtfully evaluate the process. In the end, Dr. Tom's feedback, suggestions and resources were a helpful support during the time in which I made this decision. Happy to recommend Dr. Tom to anyone with a career in transition.

"I wish I could help you...I so do!...But I am *NOT* an employment counselor and you clearly have…read moreissues far beyond my expertise so I suggest you seek therapy or something...Sorry" -"Dr" Tom Denham after our 3rd "meeting" in 2018 This scam artist is truly nothing more than a Snake Oil salesman who is only interested in collecting his $600 copay.... Although he does seem friendly (in a phony and superficial sort of way) upon first meeting, it should quickly become apparent that his services are essentially useless... I reached out to him in the spring of 2018 (if memory serves) with the hopes of finding a job outside of my area (Sullivan County NY) as there is next to no employment options in that area and I have been trying to relocate ever since I graduated college in 2014... Our first meeting was little more than a 45min sales pitch where he did little more than proclaim how awesome he is and ramble on about all of his life accomplishments...He explained to me that he knew "all about the Catskills" and how there is nothing for anyone there and "would be glad to do whatever he could to help me relocate with a worthwhile job." I then paid his ridiculous $600 fee and the truth started to come out) 2nd meeting he handed me a worksheet with hundreds of jobs and told me to pick 20...I did and he acted like he had actually done something for me and that I should be grateful...I explained to him that I can't just pick up and relocate in hopes of finding a job in this field without a plan and that I needed further help....He then explained that he is NOT a career counselor and that I should probably just "stay where I am and work on myself" and then consider moving away but when I explained to him that waiting another 5-10 years wasn't an option, he just shrugged his shoulders and simply advised me to "seek out therapy for my depression" (As if I wasn't already in therapy lol) He also told me that I would probably "bomb" any interview I ever say for because I was "clearly depressed and quite socially inept." When I purposefully missed my 3rd meeting, he called me wondering why, but his way of "wondering" was to talk down to me about how he "isn't a miracle worker" and that I should just be grateful that "Someone like me is employed at all" and that I should just "plan on retiring" from said job (that only amplifies my depression and anxiety) I was never looking for a "miracle worker" or a "magic bullet/cure", rather a counselor who could help me find a stable, full time job that pays enough for me to pay my bills....What I got was a smarmy, condescending snake oil salesman who gave me a pile of useless worksheets and waited until I paid him to explain that he couldn't help "someone like me" This man is a both a con artist and a thief...PLEASE look elsewhere for employment related concerns.

She has this…read moreincredible ability to see the big, bold vision in someone--and then help them actually move toward it. Janet always shows up in my life with encouragement, sending helpful connections my way, or pointing me toward just the right resource at just the right time.

And she brings serious experience to the table--from helping launch countless businesses to offering expert guidance on things like strategic planning, certifications, and training programs.

She's a connector, a coach, a cheerleader, and a true force for good. If you've got a dream, Janet's the kind of person who will help you believe in it--and then get to work making it happen.

I first experienced it a few years ago while I was in a corporate role, and it shifted how I think. Now, running my own business, I keep showing up because it's a safe, energizing space to collaborate and grow. Janet has a talent for seeing what's possible in people, building supportive spaces, and opening doors. If you're a business owner seeking clarity, a supportive community, and an encouraging guide, I can't recommend Janet and Hammock Way of Life enough.

With that in mind, I was very careful when picking an attorney to help me out. I had heard about The Towne Law Firm from a friend and decided to contact them, and I am so happy I did. Shalini Natesan, one of the Partners, was very responsive throughout the entire closing process and kept the transaction moving from start to finish. She helped calm my nerves and made the process of closing on a house actually enjoyable for me. It was very apparent she has done many closings before. I really cannot thank Shalini and the attorneys at Towne enough for all they did for me. They truly went above and beyond. If you ever need any legal assistance, Towne is the firm to go to. They aren't intimidating and they REALLY care about their clients.
