Saskia helped me to identify some key areas that I needed to address in my personal relationships. I feel much happier after working with her weekly on live calls. Taking the time to focus on what you need is extremely important and Saskia helped me do that. I feel my boundaries are much stronger and as a result, I feel much more stable and able to navigate my life.

I am SO happy that I chose Saskia as my therapist!! I tried talking to several others before I found her, but none of them seemed to understand my needs. Within the first half hour of talking with Saskia, I knew she was the perfect fit for me! I finally felt heard. I finally felt like there was hope for me after all these years. She really listens and she is SO knowledgeable, especially when it comes to addictions and mental health. After less than 3 months of weekly conversations with Saskia, I feel like a new person. I had to put in my share of work but the guidance I got from her was invaluable!!

Saskia has been working with me for over a year, and she has done a wonderful job of helping me. I am not the easiest of patients, constantly being stubborn and combative over the tiniest suggestions. But she has shown great patience by always slowly guiding me, letting me make the connections and jumps to where I should be. My journey with her has come to an end, and it is bittersweet. I am extremely fortunate to have been matched with her. She has helped me become a better mother to my kids, a better wife to my husband, and a better person overall. I am in a much better place because of her.

Saskia worked with me for a consecutive 7 months weekly and her insights and patience helped me overcome my depression and anxiety. She guided me through healthy ways of navigating my life and assisted me in setting personal boundaries and recognizing my traumas and response patterns. She praised me for my own healthy insights and reminded me of negative coping mechanizisms when they arose within me. She held me accountable for my own actions, both negative and positive and in doing that, she made my whole therapy experience a pleasant one. I thank her beyond what words can express and am hopeful for my own future. Which I had not been for a long time. Thanks again, Saskia!

As someone who has attended therapy on and off throughout the years I cannot stress enough the quality of therapy that Saskia provides. Frankly, she cuts through my BS every time. She manages to be sensitive while still being direct. At the end of every session I feel both comforted and empowered, supported and challenged. Her contribution to my mental health is invaluable. Mental illness is a heavy burden and Saskia is one of the rare professionals who genuinely cares and endeavors to empower you both to lighten and to better carry that load.

Saskia did nothing short of change my life. In a matter of months, I can confidently say I am a better off for having gotten the chance to work with her.
She is warm, understanding, incredibly intentional with her guidance, and ready to help you do the work.
She made me feel safe and valued, not just like another appointment she had to get through. I laughed, I cried, and most importantly, I became a more well-rounded and empowered person through our work together. Our work armed me with the tools and mentality that makes it possible to cope with my trauma in healthy ways.
I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Saskia, and everything about the person I have grown to be is proof that she is damn good at her job.

From the first session, I felt very comfortable with Saskia. I can still recall the knowledge and insight that she shared with me in the first session. The knowledge that was shared I was able to take with me and see an immediate change in my day to life and how my perspective was able to change. Saskia and I were able to set structured goals together. Within a few short months, I was able to see significant progress. Saskia is amazing at what she does and is extremely knowledgeable in her field. I loved her organization and structure during my treatment. I never felt rushed and we are able to cover so much ground in each session. I couldn’t not have been matched with a better therapist!

Saskia has been an integral part in my recovery from PTSD and depression. She helped me set up structured goals that could be tracked and focused upon to improve my mental health and work through my issues. She's very knowledgeable in her field and effective in communicating what she knows by sending worksheets, which really helped me understand things like PTSD and ADHD. In just 2 or 3 months, I (and my wife) notice vast difference from the mental state I was in to what it is now. I'm very thankful to have had Saskia as my mental health provider !
