Back again. And if you're worried that I'm the last 2 reviewers over 2-3 years, just know that…read moreduring my 2nd round of sessions with Sheva, CAOCD's foot traffic had increased significantly. But anyway, why is this guy leaving another review? During my 1st round of sessions, Sheva helped me deal with my HOCD. This 2nd round, she helped me deal with my "regular" OCD. Life has never been better. And it's all thanks to her and her organization. See, I knew what I needed to "fix". But I needed help doing it. It's like getting a personal trainer, an accountant, a contractor, etc. Could you do it yourself? Sure. But having an experienced, professional helping hand is usually going to be smoother. I wasn't sure I wanted to disclose what exactly I was getting help with. But if someone out there somehow lands on here and is experiencing the same thing (HOCD - which is probably a little more unknown as a term), then it might be worth it. You can self medicate, numb the pain, or do any other number of things with the money you'd spend here. But it won't be worth it. I would even say the value I've gotten from my sessions and their lasting impact on my life is worth more than what I actually paid in total (and I definitely felt the pain in my wallet *while* doing sessions here).

Possibly the worst therapist ive ever had, she will actively dismiss facts if she feels it doesnt…read moresupport her narrative, a narrative she will push on you even after being asked to stop. In my opinion, a therapist needs to accept a client isnt going to blindly follow instructions for life, and the therapist shouldnt be offended by that. Lynda gets very defensive if you dont do as she says completely, and will offer very little actual emotional coping/regulation skills. Im only leaving this review because its been months since ive seen her, and at least once a week something she says pops into my mind and i shake my head, and feel the need to warn others about this woman.

I can't say enough about Dr. Dalsimer. The problems that I was having with a particular family…read moremember amounted to something that I truly believed was beyond repair. I begrudgingly entered into family therapy so that I could at least demonstrate that I "tried." Never did I think that the relationship could not only be repaired but could be positive and joyful. Now, I have something that I never dared to hope to have: a loving, positive relationship with this family member. I am truly grateful for Dr. Dalsimer, her patience, wisdom, experience, and methods.

I started seeing Kei when changes in my career increased my stress and anxiety levels to an almost…read morecrippling degree. I was new to therapy, and Kei made the experience very comfortable. She gave me tools and resources to work on in between session so that each session built on the last. I was pleased to find that she wasn't just able to help me manage my stress and emotions, but she also became a coach to help me be better in the job I have now and plan for what might come in the future. For now, I have a much better grasp on my stress and more confidence in my career. I recommend Kei to anyone who is looking for a new therapist. If you are willing to be active in your therapy, Kei will give you the tools to help yourself. And there is comfort in knowing that if I need to speak with someone again, Kei is available and I am confident she will be able to help.

She not only made it easy to open up about the mess that I'd made of my life, but neither did she shy away from helping me take responsibility for my own errors. Always gently encouraged me to find my own solutions. I have suggested her to every friend, or family member, who I knew was having trouble finding their way forward. She seems to always have just the right touch to nudge people in a direction that, as she says, they knew was the right way to go... but needed an impartial, caring person to help them discover what their hearts were already wise to. Seriously ~ after trying more therapists than I care to admit, I can recommend others to run, not walk, to Julie! Let her help you as she did me.. to take back control of my life. As she's said to me, no one else can control our destinies but ourselves. If we don't surrender our decisions & responsibilities to others, we'll never have to feel like we're spinning out of control again. That's a priceless gift we can learn to give ourselves. Thanks again Julie!
