From the very beginning, his presence alone set the tone -- incredibly calm, warm, grounded, and deeply reassuring. I trusted him almost immediately, which is not something I take lightly, and that trust allowed me to fully let go and drop into the process feeling completely safe and held. I could not have felt more comfortable. The session itself was profound. I was in a very relaxed, calm state while still fully aware of my surroundings the entire time -- which actually made the work feel even more effective. Setting an intention beforehand really mattered, and Chad guided the session with such clarity, attunement, and care. He knows exactly when to lead and when to give space, and that balance is rare. The energy transformation work at the end was INCREDIBLE -- truly next level. I left the session feeling an unmistakable release: lighter, brighter, clearer, more confident. It felt like something had genuinely shifted. My energy felt lifted, cleared, and recalibrated -- like my frequency had been raised. Wow. I also loved that Chad provided a recording to take home. Being able to revisit his voice and the energy transformation afterward feels like an extension of the healing itself and is such a thoughtful, generous part of his process. What stood out most, though, was how safe and supported I felt the entire time. Chad has a rare ability to hold intense emotional material with gentleness and steadiness -- nothing felt rushed, invasive, or overwhelming. This wasn't just hypnotherapy; it was real, deep therapeutic work held within a beautifully structured container. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and more aligned -- and honestly excited about what's possible. I am already saving up for more sessions because it is so worth it. If you're even slightly curious about hypnotherapy, emotional healing, or deep inner work -- I cannot recommend Chad highly enough. This is exceptional work.

I can honestly say this was one of the most healing experiences of my life. I came in carrying…read moreyears of pain -- trauma, grief, heartbreak, things I thought I had already worked through -- and somehow he helped me reach places I didn't even know were still hurting. Hypnotherapy felt safe, grounding, and surprisingly gentle. I never felt out of control. I felt supported, guided, and deeply understood. For the first time in a long time, I feel lighter. More at peace with my past. More present in my life. Highly recommend!

He supported the abuse by my narcissistic exhusband as my brain was slowly being destroyed by my immune system. All of my begging for help was infantalized. Meanwhile my caudate nucleus shriveled to 40% of normal size due to cytokine attacks. I have severe PTSD from the abandonment and the resulting homelessness (but his office never failed to call to see if I could pay those missed payments). After 3 years of serious brain recovery (including HBOT) my memory is back. I wasted thousands on this man telling me to "grieve" and take personal responsibility as he enabled my abuse and isolation. He should not be practicing.

As a therapist, I knew that that private practice was the right decision but I was really…read moreintimidated by the process of starting everything from scratch. Luckily I didn't have to do it alone. Working with Connor was incredibly helpful. A membership at Here Counseling works great for me by offering practical clinical support and managing the logistical operations of running a business while allowing me to focus on the work I actually care about. It also gives me a safety net. It's such a relief to know that everything isn't all on my shoulders. Admin, advertising, negotiating, these are responsibilities that I get to share with professionals I trust. You get to decide how much or how little you're involved with the business side of creating your practice. And unlike group practices where you're paying a large percentage, Here Counseling is fair and predictable. I don't feel like anyone is reaching over my shoulder to take a chunk of my paycheck. In fact, the monthly fee is only slightly more than if I was renting my own office space in DTLA, less burdensome, and much more flexible. I'm so glad to be a part of Here Counseling. It was the best financial decision I've ever made in my career. And I get to do it all while working with some really great people. Highly recommend.

Dr. Saum was immediately able to diagnose a best course of action and executed it to perfection. Dr. Saum's approach is direct, which I initially wasn't prepared for, but as each session went on, I became more and more aware of his overall plan, which gave me more confidence and solace to keep the dialogue going. Now that I've been seeing Dr. Saum for a few years, not only has he given me the confidence and awareness to develop meaningful and healthy relationships, but he has also been able to provide amazing insight into the progression of my professional life. For this, I will always be grateful and could not recommend his services enough.

Before I moved to the SF Bay area, I went to Jeff Tannen when I needed to deal with stress and…read morepanic attacks. He really turned me around because I was able to get the Psychotherapy perspective as well as the very much needed Hypnotherapy. ALL THERAPISTS should use a mixture of Psychotherapy and Hypnosis like Jeff does. Hypnotherapy is the way to go to get to the root of the problem quickly. His approach is to cut to the chase and very unique. He doesn't bother with mundane bullsh*t from my childhood, he worked with what was happening in the present, and moved me forward quickly. After I moved away, I continued to see Jeff when I would come to LA for holidays and family get togethers. I can't find a reliable and professional therapist I can trust in the Bay Area and coming to LA to see Jeff is totally worth it. I just found out he wrote a book too! I am reading it now and loving it! I cannot say enough good things about Jeff and his ability to get right to the heart of the problem and get me in and out of therapy feeling wonderful! Usually I only have 1 shot when I come to LA to work on myself and I continue to see Jeff even after 20 years. He is the best. Whatever life throws at me, I can work it out with him and make sense of it. He is a true professional with a calming voice and makes you feel comfortable immediately.

I have had the privilege of working with my colleague, Cynthia Cerrato. As someone who values the…read moreintersection of mental health and cultural identity, I was looking for a therapist to refer to, who could go beyond the typical Western frameworks of psychotherapy--and I found exactly that with Cynthia. Her decolonizing approach to therapy is powerful and healing in ways that resonate deeply with those who seek to deconstruct colonial mindsets and rediscover our authentic selves. Cynthia expertly integrates cultural awareness, social justice, and ancestral wisdom into therapeutic sessions, which allows people to explore the context of my identity, history, and the societal structures that impact my well-being. Their ability to challenge and dismantle oppressive systems gives me the tools not only for personal healing but also for empowerment. If you're looking for a therapist who truly understands the importance of healing within the broader context of culture and power dynamics, Cynthia Cerrato is exceptional. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone who is seeking an authentic, decolonized therapeutic journey. By the way, her office space is BREATHTAKING!
