“My partner and I had a few months of weekly couples therapy sessions with Alvin Yoo. While we have gone through couples therapy before, we had a recent life change (a baby!) and needed some guidance. Alvin was so kind, polite and asked us reflective questions to help bring us back to each other. We learned a number of techniques and spoke about our feeling that we hadn't shared with each other. We really appreciated his guidance as our relationship has calmed down and found its way back home.”

“Working with Alvin has truly changed my marriage for the better. My wife and I have learned so many new skills and tools through our sessions with him — things that have completely transformed how we communicate, support each other emotionally, and create a sense of safety in our relationship. I honestly never thought I’d be in the position I am today with my marriage. The progress we’ve made is something I once thought was impossible, and I give all the credit to the work we’ve done with Alvin. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking marriage counseling. It was one of the best decisions of my life for my marriage.”

My therapist was great. She helped me to start peeling back some of my defenses slowly but not all at once.

So looks like this is a group of therapists where I was lucky enough to link up with Aevita Nalian. Intellectual, knowledgeable, warm, and really pragmatic as well as personable in approach to therapy. Highly highly recommend

Encontré esta practica a través de Google search y fue un placer confirmar que podríamos recibir asistencia en Español. La disponibilidad y flexibilidad para coordinar las citas ha sido muy apreciada, y Shintia M. ha sido de mucha ayuda brindándonos el espacio adecuado que nos permite conversar en confianza y sin prejuicios. Definitivamente recomendamos sus servicios!
Linda is amazing!!! I did solo therapy with her and then also brought in my partner for couples therapy. She was so helpful with both. I had done therapy before but didn't get much out of it, and then working with Linda was a completely different thing and I felt like I grew / learned so much about myself and how to manage + understand emotions/thoughts. My partner loves her too. We are so grateful we found her!
Linda is a wonderful therapist. She was always quick to respond in our communication. In our sessions she was a thoughtful listener and it was a joy to work with her.
I've been working with Linda for several years, tackling major life events and challenging thought patterns and habits. She has played an indispensable role in improving my mental and emotional health, providing care and guidance through some of my hardest moments. I cannot recommend Linda more highly.
I've been meeting with Linda for the past two years - she is incredibly caring, wise, and helpful. We've worked through a number of issues together and she has provided so many helpful ways to manage my anxiety. I can't recommend her enough!
Linda Foran has been a wonderful guide throughout my journey. Life is complex and comes with various ups and downs, and it’s hard to imagine what those experiences might have been like without her compassionate care! No one person can give answers to all the hard questions in life. It wouldn’t be helpful. But Linda is able to lovingly guide and encourage each time we meet, and those are so valuable to go through both good and challenging times. So thankful for her steadfast care!
I’m so happy my husband and I found Linda. She has an incredible amount of impressive experience in this space. She is so warm, kind, compassionate and allows a safe space for both my husband and I to talk about the hard things. She also has provided on the spot helpful & impactful tools that are needed in the moment and that are able to implement right away easily into our every day life. Overall We both feel heard and validated and feel very safe and comfortable bringing the uncomfortable topics forward and she provides the space to talk through effectively. Can’t recommend her high enough.
