Yelp review for a therapist?? Who ever heard of that! I better leave my two cents then…read more Courtney has changed my life and I'm forever in her debt! She has a unique and uncanny ability to really listen to you and understand what your language is failing to really say. She will hold a special place just for you to come and process anything you want. Courtney truly imbues her services with Carl Roger's concept of unconditional positive regard for the client and will leave you feeling better than you were when you first came in. I feel so safe with her and I'm sure you will too. I can't give enough stars in this review to really capture how I feel. Thank you, Courtney!

It was hard for me to hear that I was playing a large part in the problem, but with her help we've seen huge improvements in our communication and the quality of our relationship. She helped us to actively listen to each other and understand how the other was feeling, as well as helping us to be more aware of when our own toxic pasts were bubbling up. We will continue to see her and build our toolbox for a healthy relationship!

Our family experienced significant confusion regarding insurance billing and financial…read moreresponsibility while seeking pediatric behavioral health IOP services for our child. At the beginning of treatment, we did not fully understand the potential out-of-network financial exposure associated with the program, and we believe clearer financial communication regarding insurance processing and possible patient responsibility would have been very helpful for families already under emotional stress. Although the provider later worked with us to clarify billing expectations and confirmed that we would not be responsible for additional insurance balances beyond the agreed program fees, the experience was still extremely stressful for our family. We encourage other parents considering behavioral health services to carefully verify: - Network status, - Insurance coverage details, - Preauthorization requirements, - And overall financial responsibility before treatment begins.

I'm incredibly grateful for my therapy sessions with Michael. From the very beginning, he created a…read moresafe and judgment-free space where I felt truly heard. He's extremely patient, takes the time to really listen, and is thoughtful in how he responds to your needs rather than rushing the process. I came into therapy knowing I had a lot of healing to do, and Michael met me exactly where I was. His calm presence and genuine care made it easier to open up and work through things at my own pace. Each session felt intentional, supportive, and grounding. If you're looking for a therapist who truly listens, respects your journey, and supports real healing, I highly recommend Michael.

I decided to book an appointment with Michael based on his reviews here on Yelp. After investing…read moretime with him I can say with 100% certainty that he deserves every amazing compliment given to him. I've been to highly regarded therapists who spread out meetings for months, consuming unnecessary time and investment. His superpower is that he epitomized complete altruism with laser sharp discernment and focused attention that facilitated deep healing of emotional wounds so buried I didn't even know they existed. He also leaves the door open for further growth and healing without feeling locked into a contractual relationship. Honestly he should patent his Method for all coaches to follow! I give him the highest possible rating and encourage others to not hesitate reaching out to him.

I wanted a therapist with these requirements, he had to be a male ( I am raised all by women, I wanted to heal relationship with my Dad), Entrepreneur ( Because I am and entrepreneur) Married ( my biggest goal). She looked around and Phil was the number she gave mr. I worked with Phil for about 6 months. Was it easy no, but 100% worth it. I wanted to work on how I can coach clients better and Phil worked with me and really opened up a new world for. It grew my business and relationships. Therapy with Phil was the best gift, I have given myself. I highly recommend him, his very professional and got a skill for it. Thank You Phil

I wanted to provide an update to my previous review as I have returned to counseling, but this time…read morefor a different reason. Since my last session with Patricia, I've found a new partner and wanted to ensure that our relationship started on the right track. I'm happy to say that Patricia and her team have been incredibly helpful once again. In the past, Patricia helped me grow and develop so much insight. It's hard to find a counselor who genuinely cares and is as skilled as she is. I've tried many counselors in the area, but none compare to her techniques and experience. I started counseling about a year ago feeling lonely and empty, but Patricia took me out of that dark place. While I saw a few others as well, they were not as skilled as Patricia. I cannot thank Patricia enough for helping me find myself again after my relationship trauma. She has taught me valuable skills to be strong again, and I feel empowered because of her guidance. I am immensely grateful for her help and have so much gratitude towards her. She has truly helped me discover myself after the long-term unhealthy relationship with my previous partner. I highly recommend Patricia to anyone seeking counseling services. She is compassionate, skilled, and genuinely cares about her clients' well-being. Thank you, Patricia, for everything you've done for me.

I would not recommend Patricia Chan to anyone. My family hired Patricia to provide both in person…read moreand online therapy sessions - her services were unprofessional and biased. For insight on this, as well as to how she responds to criticism, take a look at how she responds to negative reviews on Yelp. She routinely hides behind her "Board of Directors" when it comes to any complaint. She commonly responds to concerns with statements like, "all decisions are made by the board" and "I have to ask the board" - however, public records show that she's the only director. It was a struggle to obtain any kind of billing records from her and her team as they were extremely unhelpful and uncommunicative. She was, however, happy to take almost $7000 from us. My family had to obtain therapy from a different, more reputable therapist because of the trauma went through with Patricia Chan. We considered reporting her but decided we wanted to wash our hands clean of the trauma and move forward with healing instead. If you're considering her services, please do your research and find a therapist with the right credentials for your individual situation. Understanding the differences between LCSW, LMFT and PsyD will be very helpful. UPDATE: I had photos of my receipts and her business name filing showing her being the only director. Patricia Chan got my photos deleted and responded to this review (in the third person - in all other responses, she responds directly). She's also using the "this person was never a client" excuse and (passive aggressively) claiming defamation. Again, she provided therapy for members of my family - not me directly - that I paid for. There are many situations where this might happen, including but not limited to: a parent obtaining therapy for a child; a child obtaining therapy for an elderly parent; etc. But I'm not surprised she used that excuse, as that was the same excuse that was made when attempting to resolve this issue at the time of conflict. There's also a difference between defamation and sharing a negative experience regarding interactions with a business - this is my honest review of my family's experience with Patricia Chan/LiveWell Therapy. I'm happy to provide copies of my receipts and emails (me communicating directly with Chan) for anyone else having issues with this business - feel free to message me. Additionally, anyone can do a public business search for LiveWell Therapy on: https://bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov/search/business Click on "View History" and to see the Statement of Information, showing Patrica Chan as the only person on the Board of Directors. She also regularly uses the PsyD(c) designation in her emails and billing statements. According to the American Psychological Association, the "(c)" designation is misleading and potentially unethical. See: https://www.apa.org/monitor/2016/09/misuse-phd

After the initial consult with Lisa Smith (via FaceTime) I knew I had found the right person to help me. And she did, shockingly swiftly. She understood the problem right away and counseled me on not just what I needed to do, but how to do it. And to my surprise and relief, her advice was spot on. It's been life changing, literally, and in a short period of time. Was it tough love? Yes but the love was there, I always felt she had my best interests at heart. I couldn't recommend her any higher. Thank you again, Lisa!

He spoke negatively about me directly to my partner and made unnecessary, inappropriate comments (including remarks about my emotions that felt dismissive rather than constructive).

Instead of fostering understanding or healing, the sessions left me feeling judged and undermined. Overall, this was not a positive or productive experience.

Instead of seeing them as burdens, he helped me realize they were actually part of what shaped me into the person I am today. For the first time, I felt genuine gratitude for experiences I had spent years wishing never happened. That shift alone was incredibly powerful. I left the session feeling lighter, more at peace, and more hopeful about the future. I'm genuinely excited for my next session and to continue this journey of growth and healing.
