I cannot say anything about the therapists because I never got to talk to one. They made me fill…read moreout several different forms and then couldn't schedule a therapist. It is impossible to talk to someone and they don't call you back even if you leave a VM. I wanted help with postpartum depression, you figure how incompetent they are. Like how many times a new mom who desperately needs therapy can try to schedule an appointment after filling out indefinite number of forms? Dont waste your time.

I scored high on the test for the things I came to be assessed for but was told I do not have those disorders because of symptoms of said disorders Dr. Paulson's suggestion was to try all the things I have done for 26 years that have not helped.

Easily accessible. Response almost immediately when. Answering service calls her. I wish my sister would have been able to have her as a therapist, but since I was already her client, my sister could not become one. I've been to see 5 or 6 therapists in my life....she is THE BEST! Her office also associates with Dr. Sylvia Mendelsohn, psychiatrist, if you need meds and med. checks. Dr. Mendelsohn has no objection to you doing weekly counseling with another therapist. She is also outstanding.

It is essential that we partner to look at the barriers that have impeded progress while working on this in the past alone. I work with people with trauma, mood disorders, personality disorders, thought disorders, and substance use issues. If you are seeking treatment to heal from your past or improve your future, I can provide the tools that can empower you to take control of your outcomes. I provide trauma informed treatment and use many modalities including EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) ACT (Acceptance and commitment therapy), DBT (Dialectical behavior therapy), CBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy) and mind mapping. I prefer to work with adults that have the willingness and desire to change their current circumstances. I have been in the therapy field for 20+ years and have been grateful to be on the personal journey with so many people. I believe that it is through compassion and techniques that you can get the life that you want and need.
