After the
birth of my first child, I was referred to Rae Stern to
address the issues compounding my postpartum depression.
From the very first conversation, I knew from hearing her
voice that I finally found the right therapist. She
scheduled me within the next 48 hours, and I was immediately
comforted by her welcoming demeanor and positive energy in
her office. I found it very easy to share my past and
discuss the current situations weighing me down, and I left
each session with a feeling of progress instead of
hopelessness. Since adolescence, I've visited numerous
psychotherapists and so many times, I've left walked away
from other therapy sessions feeling vapid and confused. Rae
has provided me the tools and the thought processes to
conquer my personal obstacles and today, I'm achieving my
goals and living a happy, productive life. There is now a
true sense of self-actualization thanks to Rae's help and
her inspiring words of wisdom.

Working with
Rae was the best decision my husband and I made. It's hard to
find a therapist both spouses connect to. While we were only
there for a short time, there was so much accomplished in our
sessions. We always left with a sense of success as a couple and
as individuals. Now that we have moved away we are still using
skills Rae had taught us and are truly happy. Rae clearly
understood our goals and helped us reach them in just a few
months! Many therapists keep you dangling on a string for years.
We are truly blessed to have found and worked with Rae.

I began seeing
Rae just after my husband and I separated. She helped me to face
issues that I could not face alone. I no longer blame myself for
the events that led to my divorce. I have been able to pick my
head up and think about the future in a positive light. Without
judgment, I am able to freely tell her my deepest thoughts and
worries. She continues to encourage me to take the "next" step
each session and to live life again. She refuses to give up on
me. Rae's guidance has allowed me to open a new chapter in my
life. -DLG
I have been a
patient (by choice) of Rae Stern for a couple of years. I find
that she is open, proactive and truly cares. She has helped me
with learning to help myself. Rae Stern has assisted me in
finding that life is not hopeless. She has supported me with
learning and maintaining coping skills. Rae and I laugh together
which has been a huge release for me. I have learned to look at
situations differently and know that not always being "right" is
best. From the bottom of my heart, thanks for finding your niche
and doing it well Rae.
