Testimonials

"I don't even know how many therapists I've been to looking for structure. How will we get from here to where we are going?...Rachel gave that to me in the first 5 minutes."

"I can mark my life as 'Before the Retreat' and 'After the Retreat'; it changed my life THAT much!"

"I've been in therapy for over 50 years; no one has ever gotten it like Rachel. Finally, therapy is going somewhere."

"This retreat was the best week of my life'". 

"I don't know what's happening between sessions but, I'm growing. I've seen a lot of different therapists but I have never had therapy like this!"

"I liked that Rachel did this [retreat] as a client herself. Sometimes you're not sure if therapists are just teaching something they learned but they don't really "get it", Rachel does. "

"Dealing with trauma [at the retreat] unlocked my being. I feel unblocked. 

"Dr. Rosenfeld is able to identify and articulate the issues at hand very quickly. She has given me valuable tools to incorporate into my life, especially my work life. I prefer this to traditional 'Talk Therapy' which did not offer solutions. I am extremely grateful."

"This is so much more than I expected!"

"This feels so different from anything I've felt in my life. A huge weight has been lifted off of me.; feeling safe is a TRIP!"

"Other therapists listened to me complain; I never realized how unhelpful that was until I met with Dr. Perez. Then I thought, 'Oh, THIS is what therapy is SUPPOSED to be like!'" 

"I've had a lot of therapists. Rachel is direct, she tells you what she thinks, she gives you feedback instead of asking, 'What do you think about that?'".

"I waited to call because I was afraid of what would happen. I didn't realize that therapy could help so much. I wish I called sooner" .

I never expected to make so much progress in such a short time."
