As a person who has experienced trauma it's hard sometimes to authentically open up, particularly…read moredue to fear. Lori has a sincere approach and she is able to encourage me to continue to communicate, but never pushes me to say more than I want to. She is genuine, thoughtful and welcoming. I think she's good at perceiving body language and she always keeps a steady supply of Kleenex handy. The office is really comfy, it has the best couch ever. Personally I still have a huge mountain to climb up but she is the perfect guide on this part of my journey. It was a difficult step to take but an easy choice to make. I am so happy I made the call to Harmony in Tranquility. You will be too.

Nancy was a pleasure to work with and was critical in an emergency situation…read more We followed Nancy's hypnosis approach and practiced at home. During labor, we did what we practiced and the mother later reported that this was the most helpful tool for managing the intensity. When a complication arose in labor, there was not a lot of time and several fast decisions had to be made. Having Nancy there as a trusted resource made all the difference. All it took were a few adamant nods of approval from Nancy to help me feel like the right decisions were being made. This helped avoid critical time delays since I normally would have wanted to spend more time to understand what was going on in more depth before making any decisions. In the end everything worked out and the right decisions were made. Thank you Nancy!

We hired Nancy to be our birth doula because I had significant anxiety about the birthing process…read moredue to past reproductive health issues. Nancy provided me with the tools to not only help deal with these issues mentally but also helped facilitate a mindset shift towards the entire process to feel more positive. Eventually, I ended up having a very positive birthing experience and an unmedicated natural birth. I would highly recommend Nancy to anyone looking for a seasoned and compassionate doula.

I used Bluestone Psychological Services for an approximately two month period from September to…read moreNovember 2021. I was having some resurgent trauma-related problems from being assaulted in the past and was seeking guidance through them. Calling to set up an appointment was straightforward, I had read the online profiles of the professionals and asked if I could see someone in particular (as of writing this review on Saturday 17 June 2023, the person is no longer listed as working at Bluestone). After describing my situation to the receptionist, they said that it sounded like the person I was requesting could be a good fit. So we scheduled an intake appointment in an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the first appointment we set up weekly sessions thereafter until I was feeling confident enough to part ways with the therapy about two months later. I received a bit of talk and EMDR therapy in my sessions. The therapist was never short with me and I found the treatment effective for helping me work through my problems. She was professional in our sessions and never prying. I have continued to use some of the things I learned in the sessions after stopping the therapy sessions.

I was a former patient of Dr. Lilia Peng. I went to her because she was a Naturopathic psychiatric…read moreprovider and trans/LGBTQI+ friendly. However, I regret that decision. I felt that she was very impersonal and straight to the point. I never felt that much compassion from her. In addition, I felt that she did not have great bedside manner or manners with me at all. I felt her customer service to me was not that great. I had to cancel at the last minute a couple of times due to an emergency, and the practice and Dr. Peng told me they had to charge me a fee. Bluestone showed me no mercy, and Dr. Peng did not seem to show me any either. I felt that she also did not properly understand my conditions either. I also didn't like that when I made no follow up appointments with her that Dr. Peng reached out to me multiple times and asked me if I was interested in continuing with her. Well obviously, if I have not called you or made an appointment with the practice in months, it's evident I am no longer interested. In the end, I am glad I left. I would not recommend this practice or Dr. Peng at all. In my opinion, they have no understanding for when life situations come up and I did not feel there was good communication or compassion towards patients either by either Dr. Peng or the staff of bluestone.
