I absolutely adore Robin! She’s by far the best therapist I’ve had. She genuinely cares about her clients, and I can honestly say that I’ve never had a bad experience with her. We’ve talked through some really heavy topics, and she is always very intentional with how she approaches her clients and their individual struggles. Robin always provides a very welcoming and open space, and I never walk away feeling judged for the struggles that I have. Her methodologies have worked wonders for me and I have been able to make a lot of progress in the year that I’ve been seeing her, especially in comparison to progress I made with my previous therapist. I would highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a new therapist!

Joel and his team are fantastic therapists that truly have their clients best interest at heart. I would recommend them to anyone who has felt "stuck" with therapy they have tried in the past.

I came here after having a really terrible break up with an anxious avoidant ex who ghosted me, and did sessions with Kristan. The results were astonishing. Kristan was able to heal me up very quickly in terms of therapy standards. I'm not saying that everyone will have the same result as me, (cause I've done years of work on myself), but her technique called Lifetime Integration was incredibly helpful in helping me come back to my youthful, cheerful, happy self. One week after my break through session, I feel back on top of the world, healthy, happy, and well regulated. I got back on my workouts and lost 2 lbs (stress is a weight gainer!) Kristan is an amazing, empathetic therapist who has really safe presence and very well trained. Her expertise with somatic healing and Lifespan Integration can really help folks who are knee deep in their own trauma, walk out and stay out for good. I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

Owner's reply

Joel is the best therapist I’ve ever encountered. He listens intently, his methodologies work wonders, and I’ve never felt so comfortable talking about big issues without feeling like I was being judged. 10/10 highly recommend.

I went through years of CBT with the same results: a crazy cycle with no clarity or skills of how to work/cope/manage my trauma recovery. Joel Blackstock used simplistic, state-of-the-art treatments to begin my healing. The quick results were transformative and tangible. He is intelligent, compassionate and invested in walking me through the processes. I've been seeing him for a couple of years and will continue to trust him with my well-being.
