She has helped me learn so much about myself, my relationships and life in so many ways. I am so grateful to have her services and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a counselor.

I've been seeing Maria for 8 yrs on & off. Maria is…read moreamazing!!! She is very professional yet genuinely caring. She brings comfort, as if you're talking to your best friend. She listens, expresses concerns, challenges you on your thought process. She's funny at appropriate times, provides hugs when needed & will let you know if something needs to be addressed. She is down to earth and does not act above you. She treats all her clients with individual, unique ways because we all are different. She will challenge you with homework of journaling, reading books..helping you reach your goals in therapy. Or if you just want to have a session to verbally spew and leave, she will be your sounding board. Her office is calming, sprinkled with cheerfulness. Essential oils waltz in the cozy office to the soft glow of a rainbow in motion. There are seating options in her office so you feel comfortable. Baskets holding many treasures of fidget toys that stretch, slime, spin, & click. Coffee, tea, hot cocoa, water (honey, creamer, sugar, Splenda) & little munchie snacks awaiting to aid in your comfort. The office homes many dolls, animal figures, toy vehicles, blocks, puzzles, sand stations, art supplies for young child to express through play. She has guided me after my divorce, through unhealthy relationships, anxiety attacks at work, a broken heart. She has opened my eyes to my thinking and how to manage my thoughts / my reactions. I refer Maria to anyone I cross paths with that are in need of therapy..... I believe in Maria and her professional ability to help others. Maria has seen my daughter at age 5-6 yrs old. Assisting her with breathing techniques, helping her conquer separation anxiety, minor behavioral issues and dealing with issues at school. YES.....clicks already beginning in kindergarten. She has provided tools to my BF and myself to grow together in a healthy way. Maria has assisted many people close to me and others not as close I referred. Having the tools to better ones self, is a gift that keeps giving. We all have issues. Maria is that person that can provide the right tools to heal & grow.

No stars if I could…read more Emily Gordon forced me to make a commitment to her availability, with a predetermined sliding scale fee, that she AGREED UPON. I indicated to her that I am in a tough spot with my job, and that committing to her availability would be difficult for me, but I would try. Doing so resulted in hundreds of lost weekly income for me, however I was able to make an appointment, as I am need of a therapist as a requirement for my professional advancement. Afterwards, Emily went back on her word about the agreement, and proposed terms that were less than favorable for me. I asked her why such a change was made, and she initially refused to share. I emailed her twice over a 72 hour period asking for an explanation, as I was experiencing lost wages, as well as lost opportunities with other therapists. I heard nothing in return from her. Not even an indication that she had canceled my appointment (which her office makes very clear they will charge you if not appropriately canceled). In the end, I had to get the business manager involved. I then, finally, received a call back from Emily Gordon, where she indicated that I had no real reason for needing an explanation, and was just trying to pick a fight with her. As a therapist, I wonder how it was hard for her to understand how her behavior, lack of professionalism, and ERROR would be frustrating for a patient. I have been seeing therapists for almost eight years now. Never once has anything like this happened. The lack of professionalism is astounding. Read this post. Read the others. Check the reviews on other platforms. There are better therapists and better offices out there. Best of luck to you all in your therapeutic journey.

I have been working with Sue for the last several years and I am so happy I stumbled upon her. She…read moreis not the stereotypical therapist who simply nods along, says "that's interesting", "how does that make you feel"?, etc. She is certainly highly educated, experienced, professional, and has a variety of techniques & tools to offer to individuals and couples. She is down-to-earth, easy to talk to, relatable, and opens your mind to different ways of viewing a situation or ways to handle it. I am not the same person I was when I originally walked in those doors several years ago - and that's a good thing. I have much more peace, happiness, stability, confidence, and meaning in my life now. She has helped guide me into the person I want to be and for that, I am so grateful. If anyone is on the fence on therapy, or her as your therapist, give it a shot. It's a journey and requires work and doing things differently and often uncomfortable. But if you can be open and honest, you may be surprised at what you'll learn about yourself and the power you have to change things.

It is a very warm no judgement environment. Every client's wellbeing and need is the priority. They will not turn anyone away because of money. I have NEVER seen any other place do this!! They offer sliding scale options to work with what the client can afford. Counselors have various specialities including, art, trauma, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, LGBTQ, addictions, couples, families and the list goes on!!! They also have night and weekend office times so it is easy to work with your schedule. If you are looking for a place for counseling I highly reccomend CSA! You can fill out new client paperwork and choose the option "Help me find the right therapist" and Tammy Bobel will provide suggested therapists to choose from who might best fit your needs. I can't say enough on the quality of care you will receive from CSA.

My only criticism would be that the office itself needs a bit of cleaning and renovation. The building is old and the space isn't aging well. I'd also like to suggest that the bathroom be more thoroughly and frequently cleaned and restocked (however, the last time I was physically in the office was long before the shutdowns and quarantine.
