At Therapy with Heart, we are aware of how challenging dating and navigating single life can be. At any age, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, dating can lead to a roller coaster of emotions that may seem overwhelming at times. Dating can be exciting, hopeful, and fun, but it can also be frustrating, confusing and scary.

After several failed attempts with therapists for my 16yo daughter with anxiety and depression, Therapy With a Heart came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Ellie was so wonderful with my kiddo who is not the best at expressing herself. The positive difference it has made in all of our lives has been wonderful and we are very thankful.

Therapy with Heart has truly been a life changing experience for me. I see both a relationship therapist, Melanie Minich and a personal therapist, Shannon Steinhilber- both are incredible. Melanie has helped myself and my husband recognize cycles and given us tools to work through them with less strife! Shannon continues to create a safe environment allowing me to come in and deal with my emotions in a positive manner. Shannon has been encouraging, open, honest and nonjudgmental- I have tried things I have done in years with her support and encouragement!! Thank you Therapy with Heart but most

I see Raquel at therapy with heart and honestly I could not be more pleased with the care she provides!! I have honestly only been into the office a handful of times (COVID helped me decide to move to Telehealth for the time being, still with Raquel) but I have nothing but positive things to say about that as well! I couldn’t be more happy and truly have nothing negative to say! Her and her company have helped me in more ways than I can ever say and I am forever grateful!
Just to clarify, Therapy with Heart is still providing in office services, but if you do not feel ready for face to face

I see an individual therapist and a couple's therapist. They’re both magic.
Kelsey has been so patient with me during our sessions. I have a very difficult time with new people. It wasn’t always easy for me to go to my individual therapy sessions but she’s made me feel safe and I’ve been able to open up as a person more. Even my wife notices the change in my ability to be honest about my feelings, and my ability to listen openly to hers.
Tara, our couple’s therapist, has helped my wife and I find better ways to communicate. She’s been great at creating a nonjudgmental space for us

Getting to work with an individual as talented and caring as Kelsey is a true privilege. She welcomes tough conversations and her nonjudgmental approach is clearly seen through the kindness and compassion she brings into her work. Her ability to normalize an individuals struggles and sit with them when they get emotional is a true gift. Kelsey is a true professional that leads by example and is somebody that empowers her clients to be the best version of themselves.

The team at Therapy With Heart has been warm, kind and extremely accommodating in my experience with them. As a therapy novice they were so helpful in helping me learn the ropes, which I really appreciated. I'd recommend them to anyone, especially if therapy is new to you.

I attend couples therapy with my spouse with Tara, and let me tell you... what a positive impact Tara has had on our relationship. After we experienced some personal tragedy in close succession about two years into our relationship, we sought out therapy to help us navigate difficult discussions and grief together. It turned out we had no idea how much our communication stood to improve, and the way we’ve been able to open up and be vulnerable with each other is game-changing for us. Tara managed to make two very anxious, very guarded people feel comfortable and safe enough to speak honestly

Excellent! Ms. Lea El Helou is very compassionate, caring, engaging and easy to open up too! She helped us with communication skills and gave us the tools needed to grow our relationship. She is flexible and was very accommodating with our busy schedule. I highly recommend Lea.

I was looking for a place where I felt welcome, safe & heard, and Kelsey has gone above and beyond to make me feel all of the above. She really took the time to understand why I signed up which has helped me progress every week. I could not recommend Therapy With Heart enough, especially Kelsey. If I could give 10 stars I would!

Therapy with Heart did an excellent presentation at iGen Parenting. They really connected with parents in a real way to talk about communication with their kids and what you need to know.

Rae Freidus is such a delight and pleasure to work with. You can tell how much she cares about her work and her clients. Working with her has provided us with knowledge and tools that my husband and I will utilize for the long-haul! Every session left us with more insight into ourselves and our marriage. I would highly recommend Rae to anyone seeking couples therapy.

What an amazing seminar Rachel Thomas did today!! The topic was Interpersonal Dynamics and she covered a lot of ground in a highly interactive way. She incorporated great video clips to relay meaningful ideas! She was so engaging and warm that it felt like a very safe place. There was a lot of impactful information but it was never overwhelming. It was simply amazing and real. It was a great privilege to have her as Network of Women’s inaugural speaker. Thank you again Rachel for your generosity and beautiful energy🙏💗❤️ we appreciate you!!!!
