I could not overstate the impact Caree has had on me and my family. While counseling support/advice…read moreis highly personal, I can attest that Caree's philosophy and approach is straightforward, simple in nature and therefore easy to apply. Listening to excellent advice is great, but actually implementing change is transformative. Caree provides easy to understand tools, that apply to real life and can be used anytime and anywhere. Her approach is underwritten by a sincere desire to listen, and allow the individual to fully express themselves before opining on what is to be done. No psychological-speak, Caree makes you comfortable because she is relatable and kind in her approach. Her office is warm and inviting - a place you're always happy to go back to. I highly recommend Caree to anyone and everyone.

We've participated in both family sessions and individual sessions, and one thing we all agree on is that she gives us hope. Her approach and techniques have been very useful so far, and even in this early stage, we can already see a light at the end of the tunnel. After meeting with her, we feel encouraged, supported, and optimistic about the healing work ahead. Caree is an excellent therapist from what I can tell, and I genuinely feel that we are in good hands. I'm grateful for her guidance and truly look forward to the growth, healing, and progress we will continue to make together. Highly recommend.

I'll admit I did not feel or wanted to be in therapy the first 2 sessions. It was after further evaluation and Matthews EMDR therapy, I then realized how significant his help was. Matthew is very welcoming, knowledgeable, and professional. I felt safe and comfortable since day 1. He helped me out with my PTSD in steps and after months of weekly therapy, I can say my traumas that I have experienced don't bother me like they use to. My only regret is not seeing someone way earlier, but Matthew has helped and teach me how to overcome. I highly recommend Matthew services.

I saw Gerry about 9 years ago since I had a series of great experience seeing a famous…read morehypnotherapist in Chicago who resolved my sleep disorder, which I've heard is not easy to resolve. He told me that I was a great patient for hypnotherapy.. having a serious issue resolved in the most part in one session. I continued to see him and needed to listen to his recordings while I fell asleep. I am a total believe in hypnotherapy so I looked for someone in the east bay and Gerry was one of several practitioners I tried. Unfortunately, her session did nothing for any of the issues I came in for. I'm glad that others I belng helped by Gerry.. goes to show that people will be helped by different hypnotherapists.

I've been seeing Jessica for several years, and she has changed the way I understand therapy. It…read morewasn't until I met with Jessica that I truly let a therapist in. I used to hold back, saying only what felt safe. But with Jessica, that changed, and for the first time, I could just be honest and completely open. She listens in a way that makes you feel seen, not just heard. The tools she's given me aren't the kind you forget the moment you leave the room, they actually stick with you. If you're looking for a therapist who will actually meet you where you are and help you become someone stronger, more whole, more yourself, it's her. Jessica is, without exaggeration, the best therapist and one of the best human beings I have ever had the privilege of knowing.

She adjusts her approach to fit YOUR pace and goals, not the other way around I've never stick with therapy before...always been on and off depending on circumstances. But I had an extremely random life issue pop up, so I sought out help asap. Sarah was the only therapist that was taking new patients in the timespan I needed, so I really didn't have any expectations...I just knew I needed help immediately! It turned out to be serendipitous b/c we clicked right off the bat and I'm so thankful things worked out the way they did. She wants to make sure I feel "seen" and validated, and she chooses her words very carefully and makes sure to frame her communication in a way that lets you know she was intently listening to you and understands you.

Prior to meeting her, my anxiety and constant doubt crippled me from doing so many things in my life that I wanted to explore. Working with her helped me see that I don't work for anxiety! I'm not held captive by anxiety! Yes, she worked with me to understand my anxiety issues, but... more importantly, she helped me identify my core values and how I want to live my life. I learned that anxiety is just one part of me. Once I accepted that, I knew that I had a choice, be a slave every day to fighting my anxiety or just let it ride along while I focus and experience the things in life that are most valuable to me. With her incredible wisdom and support, I was able to choose the latter. Thank you, Dr. Z!!!!!!

I am a therapist myself, and worked with Adam at Kaiser Permanente. Adam is one of the most skilled and competent therapists I have ever met. I regularly discussed some of my most challenging patients with Adam, and he always provided sound advice based on extensive training, as well as tremendous compassion and kindness. I can only imagine how lucky it must be to receive treatment from him. I highly recommend Adam for professional consultation as well for therapy.

He helped me develop skills to use for my trauma that I still use today. Emdr sessions were particularly helpful.

I felt like I was just complaining and feeling sorry for myself. I always felt more empowered and encouraged after our therapy sessions.

Working with Emel has been one of the biggest breakthroughs in my healing journey. As soon as I…read moreread her website I knew that Emel understood many of my struggles at a deep level and that somatic healing work with her was what I needed. Seriously - just read her website and you'll understand, she gets it and has a uniquely effective approach! I have worked with so many practitioners on physical, mental, energetic, and nervous system healing, but I needed her somatic healing approach to connect the pieces and dive deeper to truly understand and break free from the pain, trauma, and patterns I was stuck in. Emel truly cares, is extremely empathetic, and works hard to understand the full picture and the root cause of issues. She made it easy to open up to her and to myself, allowing me to better understand myself, my patterns, and my triggers/reactions. Each session varies depending on my needs or desired focus, ranging from somatic healing, energy flow, and visualization work to more traditional talk therapy. The results of working with Emel were immediate and ongoing: relief from physical pain caused by stuck energy, emotions, or tension, as well as minimization of triggers, anxiety, depression, and other patterns I was stuck in. I cannot recommend working with Emel enough, regardless of what you are going through! Thank you Emel!

You know when people say that things happen for a reason? I definitely feel that meeting Emel was…read moresomething meant to happen at the right time. My partner and I were in search of a therapist and we met with several before making a choice. However, after the initial consultation, we did not need to interview with anyone else. My partner and I both felt that she was a perfect fit. Through several somatic techniques and practices, lifestyle changes were implemented in a positive way. We saw a change in our communication with each other and also with other people. I now regularly practice P.O.W.E.R (if you don't know this acronym...book your appointment with Emel) and mindfulness in all avenues of my life. Thank you Emel I will surely book again if your services are needed. :)
