My experience with Christen was life changing. I went to her at a stage of my life that crossing…read morethe borders of the subconscious mind seemed impossible or too difficult to achieve. If you can relate well to spiritual healing, it would be a mistake if you choose not to see her. Christen is technically a doctor who looks at your soul, and pinpoints the problems. As easily as a primary care doctor who examines your throat and writes prescription for a cold, she taps into her intuition and finds an answer for you. Although, I know a good number of highly intuitive people, I'd never met someone of such great intuition whose gifts are so aligned with her profession as a healer. Christen has a ton of tools in her tool belt, and can quickly get into the root of someone's problem. In her work, she leverages both her psychology degree, and spiritual training. If you add her intelligent mind, generous heart, great intuition, and gifts on top of that you won't be surprised why she is so successful at healing. Being an intuitive person who can evaluate what she hears to a good degree, I never heard a single comment from her that didn't resonate. In the course of 3 months we made so much progress with discovering the cause of some of my deep problems that rooted in early childhood or had ancestral roots. Navigating the subconscious mind seemed as easy as getting directions on Google Maps. When I finished working with her, I was at a stage in my life that I'd always struggled to be in. Something that would have been impossible by getting traditional therapy alone. I can not thank her enough.

Christen has helped me navigate the difficult terrain of cancer healing. She is insightful, wise,…read moreand an excellent healer. One of her greatest gifts is being able to pinpoint the core wound that's triggering a dynamic (like cancer or self-doubt) and release it from the mind-body-soul experience. Not only do I feel calm and inspired after our sessions, Christen offers practical tools that I'm able to use between our sessions. These tools help me increase the healing that happed during the session and become a bridge to the next session, so I always feel held and loved in a powerful way.

My adult child just completed 6 weeks in their PHP and IOP Program…read more Per my child, they said that out of all the 4 programs(Fremont, Gilroy, SF) my child attended, this one was by far the best PHP/IOP Program. At the intake appointment you get a packet full of information about the program, what to expect, your start date, and the schedule. Then on your first day they get a big binder where each day are given packets to put in their binder and other forms. It's basically like their bible/handbook/manual to keep and refer back to in case they need a reminder/refresher on coping skills, CBT, DBT, wellness plan, healthy boundaries, etc. Family Day is once a week where family can join in their class and find out about what their family is learning and also participate. It's really an eyeopener. Don't skip out on Family Day, you will definitely learn something about yourself! Lol Such an organized and informative program!

Recently my mom stayed at the Scrivner Center & had a very good experience there. I found the…read morecheck-in process on my visits very efficient & organized, it felt like it was a very secure & safe environment. The staff from the front desk to the nurses were all wonderful, very devoted & compassionate. My mom felt very much at ease there. They kept things very clean & she said the food was good. We both appreciated the doctors & social worker who helped facilitate everything. I felt like they wanted to be sure she was truly ready to be released before they signed her out, which was important. The communication with me (updating me on her progress) could have been a little more frequent, but when I did speak to people they were knowledgeable & helpful. A couple articles of clothing didn't seem to make it home with her, nothing expensive though so not a big deal. Overall it was a big relief for her to be in a safe, clean place filled with caring & attentive staff. Special shout-out to J.S. who helped advise me the best way to get my mom admitted. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Scrivner to anyone needing this type of mental health care. It's so important to get the right care, don't be ashamed to reach out to find help when you need it.

I felt inclined to leave a review after...10 years of knowing Dr. Williams, 4ish total of working…read moretogether. I met her in my early 20s when I was in undergrad, suffering from trauma stemming from years of abuse. She wasn't even taking clients at the time, according to her voice messaging system, but she called me back and took me on. From then on, I found the best advocate one could hope for in a therapist. I eventually moved away and we discontinued working together. Then, I was having a rough patch and didn't have insurance, but we worked something out. She worked with me through this difficulty until I transitioned to grad school. We didn't talk for a few years. Fast forward three more years (six total, since I'd last worked with her) I'm back in California and in need of a great therapist. Now I'd seen many therapists during the six year gap since we'd worked together. I saw 5 others upon moving back to California, prior to working with her again. I came back to Dr. Williams after so many years because she's genuinely the best therapist I've ever had. She's supportive, smart as heck, perceptive, nuanced...and just amazing. She supported me through Trauma with EMDR when I was younger (and sometimes now). Now she's supporting me through a mood disorder. I highly recommend her...and I speak highly of her to everyone I meet.

The therapists here are extraordinarily skillful, warm and compassionate. I highly recommend FGI…read more I began working with Ellen Sande one week ago hoping for relief from some very deep-seated negative thoughts which have plagued me for several years. I expected that perhaps over the course of a few months of therapy and hard work I'd experience a little relief, which would have been welcome. This isn't my first go-round with therapy -- I've seen two other therapists at different institutions over the past two years with no success, and I felt nervous about starting up with yet another therapist. But after two 2-hour sessions my anger, resentment and anxiety disappeared. Completely. It's like waking up from a long and terrible nightmare. I feel immensely grateful for Ellen's expertise and the unique, effective cognitive tools implemented by all of the therapists at FGI. If you're looking for relief from immense emotional distress, look no further. You'll find it here.
