For some context; my partner and I had been together about 3 years, and were seriously considering…read moremarriage. I was interested in sort of laying out the internals of our relationship to therapist/counselor to see if there were any red flags we should be aware of, and talk through anything that could potentially be problematic for a long term relationship. Most importantly, Dr. Lillie is incredibly competent in her line of work, and can remarkably quickly ask the important questions to guide couples to new perspectives on their relationship. The way that Dr. Lillie interacted with my partner and I was not only transformative in the way we think, but carried care, empathy, and psychological safety. I never felt judged, only heard, but still was compelled to change my thinking about some foundational pillars of being in a relationship. Needless to say, my partner and I are happier than we ever thought possible, and indeed got married :) I owe a lot of this to only a few conversations I had with Dr. Lillie, and to that end, I'm very grateful for the time I've shared with her.

We have both worked with several therapists, so we have a lot to compare to. She is incredibly insightful, empathetic, and helps you make progress when you are stuck. She is highly intelligent and also brings her sense of humor when appropriate. She has really helped us improve our communication with each other. If you are looking for a therapist I would highly highly recommend Sandy. She is amazing.

I can highly recommend her! It is difficult writing about something so personal, and most Veterans are suffering in silence. That is just how we were taught... got a problem, don't talk about it. I had been living with my issues since 2002, but after 16 years, I finally found someone able to help me. If you know of any veterans suffering from their PTSD, Krista is definitely worth visiting. Don't put it off, it won't go away on it's own.

Jacki Silber saved my life. She is amazing. I stared seeing her 5 months post-partum when I was…read moreso out of my mind I almost couldn't see straight. She was amazingly empathetic and knew exactly what to say to help me through the first few weeks of therapy so I could see there was a light at the end of the tunnel. As time went on she saw other things in me that no one else ever had. The trauma specific therapy we did changed my life. I'm not the anxious, nervous person I used to be.

It has been great. I did initially meet with my therapist in person and then we switched to online via video call. Unlike previous therapists at groups who take insurance, D (not sure if I should post her name) is very proactive and responsive to my questions, concerns, and has explained how we are moving forward and how she hopes to help me.

She is a fantastic therapist; she really listens and participates in the session, helping me talk back to distortions I have in my thinking. She is very attentive and has an amazing memory. By having appointments at various times of the day including earlier some days and into the late evenings other days, she is accommodating to what her patients need which I really appreciate. She also has a really simple and easy billing system - it sounds minor but paying therapists has ALWAYS been such a painful experience with everyone else that I've seen (remembering to bring my checkbook, having to coordinate to get a hand-written summary to send for insurance reimbursement, etc.). With Kate, I have auto-pay set up using my credit card, and I get a thorough monthly superbill emailed to me like clockwork to supply to insurance, so easy. She's the only therapist I've ever looked forward to seeing - knowing it will help me process what's going on in my day-to-day life and I'll come out with new solutions to try. She has helped me through some very difficult times. If I ever leave this area I think I would have to travel to keep seeing Kate.

I've always had a love/hate relationship with exercise and fitness, including failed attempts at jumping on exercise trends, and even working with trainers in the past. Nothing ever seemed to click, until now! In my first session with her, I explained to her how I would never be a runner because I didn't have the confidence (specifically "I look stupid doing it"), and with my newfound confidence, I am running my first half marathon in January. Alison is extremely knowledgable about how the body works, and helps me to understand what muscles I'm engaging, and how every move and motion affects my overall fitness. Under Alison's tutelage, I've seen a huge transformation in my strength, confidence, and overall mindset. Working out with her is always a pleasure - she pushes me physically, but I always find myself laughing and genuinely having a great time. I definitely owe so much of my transition to a healthier lifestyle to Alison!

It's really opened up my world! It was my claustrophobia that held me back from getting a a plane. I had been flying for work for years, then something happened and I couldn't get on a plane any longer. After 15 years of not flying, I was back flying again! Over the years I've been seeing her she has helped my become more comfortable with myself in understanding who I am. I cannot thank her enough!
