I love Mary, she's the best there is. I don't know what I would do without her and I'm so grateful for her
I LOVE Palisades and their staff! Mary is an angel and I love seeing her each week! She is so knowledgable, kind, approachable, and skilled. Also even if I wasn't over the moon thrilled with Mary (like I am and have been for the last year), I would come back just to see Anahi, the front-desk-girl-boss. Maddy used to work front desk too and I already miss her so much. Palisades has such a warm, loving, and professional atmosphere. Everyone should go here, even if it's just too see Anahi and her beautiful hair.
So grateful for Palisades Counseling! I’ve met with Shawn for almost 5 years and we’re done for now because I’m doing so well! Shawn was so so patient with me when I was in a dark place and felt totally immobile. Shawn’s a great fit if you want someone who’s gonna be honest with you because they genuinely care! He cared enough to fight me on all the beliefs I had that were holding me back and to push me forward. But, he didn’t ever just jump at “fixing” me. He didn’t push me when I was in a delicate spot and just validated how I was feeling. Shawn truly listened to understand my thought process and what events in my life lead me there. He helped me untangle the past, so I could better understand and have empathy for myself. Shawn’s also incredibly fun and witty, maybe that shouldn’t matter, but it definitely does for me and helped me to respect and connect with him.
I’ve been coming for about a year and everything about this place is awesome! First faces Maddie and Anahi ( I could be having a terrible day and seeing them would change it, probably could just leave then) haha they are awesome and so helpful! Then my dude Alan is the coolest! I met with people at a couple different offices before finding this place and I’m still here! Love them!
love this place so much!! it’s a great environment and the staff is so friendly and nice!!! mary is my therapist and i ALWAYS leave feeling uplifted and educated with my anxiety and how to cope. Anahi and Maddie are always so helpful with scheduling appointments!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼
I am SO grateful to have found Shawn and Palisades Counseling!! I went through quite a few therapists before meeting Shawn, and none of them were quite right. Almost as soon as Shawn and I sat down for our first session, though, it was clear that this time was different. Shawn’s experience shows abundantly—in the way he makes you feel comfortable and cared for while remaining professional. He is great at asking helpful questions and frequently reminding me that he wants to know if anything we’re doing isn’t working, so he can adjust his approach or help me find a different therapist. It’s clear that his goal is to get me the support I need, not just to keep another client. He’s the best therapist I’ve had! Anahi and Maddie are also so awesome, and I love seeing them whenever I come in! They’re helpful and friendly and their reminder texts are also amazing! 😅
I LOVE Palisades counseling. Alan is by far the best therapist I've seen. He is genuine, caring, real, and great at his job. Therapy always feels worth the time and money here.The front desk staff is also so kind and welcoming. Anahi is always so on top of it and gracious. Maddie always provides a friendly smile 🙂
Palisade Counseling has been amazing for me! The therapists there are very understanding, personable, and help me feel comfortable with the whole process of going to therapy. Also, the receptionists are so welcoming, friendly, and are willing to help me find accommodations with my schedule. I love the experience that I get every time I set foot into the palisade counseling office.
My experience with Palisades has been incredibly positive. In particular, I cannot recommend Shawn highly enough. He is one of the most down to earth and caring humans I've ever known and I have been so impressed by his integrity and genuine desire to help others. I have referred many friends and family members to Palisades and they have all had positive experiences as well. Highly recommend!
