Thank you!

“I was amazed by Anat’s ability to sense your emotions without words. She is incredibly attuned to you even through the digital screen and it really helped me as someone who had to learn how to tune into my own emotions. I’m so grateful that now I can use my emotions as a way to navigate my life (rather than scary things I need to avoid). I have grown in ways I could have never seen and I’m so grateful for the safe space she created in my time of need. Thank you, Anat!” (2023)

“I was at the lowest point in my life when I started working with Anat and I never expected I would get to where I am now feeling an unbelievable improvement in most areas of my life. She is kind, compassionate, knows how and what to say. Very early on I was comfortable being completely honest because she allowed me to feel comfortable with her” (2023)

“I couldn't have done any of this without you. You've given me so many tools and perspectives I wouldn't have otherwise had.” (2023)

“There isn't anything specific I wish I was told in the beginning, at that point in my journey I wouldn't have understood or believed the truth. What Anat said was well timed when I needed to hear it.” (2023)

”I’m noticing a HUGE shift. I'm feeling a sense of calm and purpose. I'm hopeful, excited, and ready to move on. Thank you, Anat. I recognize myself once again for the first time this week.” (2022)

"Anat's compassion, professionalism and high level of competence are evident in all the work she does" (2022)

“Seeking help and starting the sessions with you was the best decision I made last year. I honestly don't know how I could have been through what I did without your support. It's been a real pleasure (despite the suffering that led me to you) and I hope that you can help many more people like you helped me.” (2020)

“Anat always knew the right thing to say, the right way to push me, and the right way to redirect me. I felt seen, heard, and respected every step of the way. There’s a tremendous lasting impact that her care and attention to detail will have on me.” (2020)

“You have earned a reputation in the community as someone of enormous good will and creative energy and you should be very proud of that. So thanks for all that you do.” (2019)

“Before Anat spoke, her office space made me feel warm and welcomed each and every time with a calming smell, light background music and water fountain, and comfy couch.” (2019)

“Anat was more interactive than other mental health professionals. She constantly called me out on phrasing, actions, decisions etc. in a way that made me feel safe to explore and rethink them. She directed the conversation in a way that allowed me to tackle issues that weren't even on my radar, but made a huge difference in my day to day life.” (2019)

“I loved that she allowed me the time I needed to reach my own conclusions. I also loved that Anat was able to identify the things I could not see and communicate that with me (ex. my need for more compassion with myself, and to "play" more and emphasis on self care). I also really appreciated how she made me feel like I already had all the tools to deal with things, that I was already equipped. Loved the focus on the body and where I was feeling things in my body. Helped me realize how much of an empath I am! Overall just extremely positive experience.” (2019)

“Anat is one of the most insightful, nonjudgemental, and overall competent therapists I've ever worked with. As a therapist myself, I have very high standards and understand the ‘behind the scenes’ strategies at play during therapy, and never once did I feel let down by her skills. Anat embodies the skills and abilities necessary to be a great therapist including, compassion, empathy, insight, and authenticity. She was open, honest, consistent, and loving, creating a safe space for exploration. Anat is also great at supporting specific and measurable goal setting. She was very flexible, easily switching between emotional processing and more goal-oriented change.” (2019)
