She was able to offer some good advice and I thanked her for the advice and the several attempts to reach me. :-) This rating is only for no call back from Ms. Hyland's office. Her office must use a call center, and they probably forward phone call messages to her. Just a bummer when looking for a high rated YELP doctor and you can't reach out to them. :-(

Working with Kaila as my counselor has been both a healing and growing experience. Kaila is a great…read morelistener and is very patient through many ramblings, and I am quite prone to rambling. Being able to openly discuss my faith and relationship with the Lord with Kaila has been very refreshing. While being able to speak with a pastor is a good thing, and speaking to family is also good, being able to speak to someone who is entirely removed from my life about my various struggles in my walk with Christ has been massively helpful and challenging. On another note, being able to speak with her about the challenges of fatherhood and being a husband, and receiving both validation as well as questions meant to challenge my perceptions has helped me grow as both a father and husband. The Lord is certainly using Kaila where she is, and having her as a counselor is truly a blessing.

I highly recommend Samira as a therapist. I have had personal experience as an adult with Samira. I…read morealso know of several children (elementary and middle school aged) who have seen Samira for therapy. Speaking from my own experience, Samira is so friendly. Her kindness is matched with her compassion. I know this because I felt instantly connected when I first met Samira. I'm not someone who opens up easily, and I am especially guarded when it comes to personal things and trauma. I used to believe that therapy won't work for me. I think how therapists are often portrayed on television made me think negatively about the way therapy works. I really think it depends on the therapist. Samira really listens without judgment. She is not pushy with any sort of agenda. It feels effortless to talk to her. I honestly feel that she is with me and she has my back. I'm telling you, she truly is amazing, and I am so thankful to have met her. Samira is also great with kids! I can not believe how she is also skilled in working with children as well as working with adults! She uses a variety of tools when working with children. I do not know the names or methods because I'm not a therapist myself, but one of the ways is play therapy! I know this because one of my friend's children sees Samira as well, and her daughter adores her! She claims that seeing Samira is something she looks forward to every week! If you're looking for a therapist who is caring, intuitive, easy to talk to, and genuine, look no further! Samira is your girl!

Samira is not only so easy to talk to, but is also such a caring, smart, and intuitive person. I…read morefeel very heard and supported when I am talking with her. I have learned how to regulate my emotions, great communication skills, and overall tools to help my anxiety. I loved how Samira takes the time to get to know her patients and really bond with them before finding a game plan for what worked best for me. She is so professional while at the same time you feel like you are talking to an old friend. I would recommend Samira to any family, friend, colleagues, neighbors, and beyond! Thank you Samira!

In addition to EMDR, she has guided me through everyday challenges with compassion and understanding. Her approach is thoughtful and gentle, but also realistic and solution-oriented. Every time we end our sessions, I feel at ease and motivated. She is a pillar of support who has liberated me from my fears and anxiety. Thank you, Hegi!

She helped me navigate and understand my wants and needs. She's very relatable and to the point. I've been to other Psychologists and most of the time they're just a feelings sharing session. Not with Dr. Hensling. She allows you to share your feelings and thoughts and makes sense of them. She is very honest and upfront, and doesn't sugarcoat which is exactly what people need when they're feeling lost or unsure. I always look forward to seeing her! Thank you for all the help and clarity you've provided me. I'm so grateful to have found her!!

I can't recommend her enough.

I am very disappointed with how this office handled my appointment cancellation…read more I called to cancel my appointment within the allowed cancellation window, so it should not have been considered a no-show. However, I was later charged a no-show fee. After receiving the bill, I contacted the office multiple times to explain the situation. I also provided my phone records and other documentation showing that I called within the required time frame. Despite submitting evidence and making a few attempts to resolve the issue, I was still charged the no-show fee. What is most frustrating is not just the charge itself, but the lack of accountability and willingness to correct an obvious mistake. Patients should not have to spend so much time proving that they followed the office's cancellation policy. I hope this review encourages the office to improve its record-keeping and customer service practices so that other patients do not experience the same problem.

Please proceed with caution if you are considering seeking any advice or guidance by this woman…read more She will act very attentive the first session and you will be duped into thinking she cares and can help. Ms. De Francisco cares about helping herself in terms of adding to her bank account. She had me coming on a regular basis when I sought her services during a time I was struggling. I wish I had went on a shopping spree or took a vacation rather than spend copious amounts of money with this woman. I was vulnerable and under her "spell" so to speak. She convinced me we were doing "intensive work" but really it was either her nodding her head or giving me ridiculous advice. Just one of many snippets of bad advice.....she suggested to relinquish parenting decisions over to my sister as it was her opinion that I wasn't strong enough to handle things with my pre teen child at the time. Mind you, she also knew my sister which is how I was even referred to Jennifer and my sister was vying to get control over my estate. It's all very messy and convoluted. So word of the wise, be selective when it comes to seeking help in difficult times.
