They are not credentialed so they do not accept insurance. You must pay out of pocket or you're insurance must cover out of network costs, which you must submit.
My son has worked with Mayur for almost a year and the results have been transformative. My son went from being apathetic and anxious about school to motivated and excited. After his sessions with Mayur, he seems lighter, relaxed, and motivated. Mayur holds him accountable, gives him the tools to succeed, and offers solutions that are adaptable and practical for a teenage boy with ADHD. We’re lucky to have found him and look forward to continuing our work together.
I feel Klaudia creates a safe space in which I can express myself, thanks to her compassionate and curious-driven questions. And I particularly appreciate her creative support, finding her suggestions more of a response to my experience rather than a solution-on-the-shelve.
Klaudia is a deeply skilled and intuitive therapist with a strong ability to create a calm, supportive environment. She has a grounded presence, balanced with sharp insight and emotional intelligence. Her communication style is clear, empathetic, and thoughtful. I would recommend Klaudia to anyone seeking therapy.
Regarding Mayur Rajesh: As his summer 2025 practicum professor, I can attest to Mayur’s sophisticated, counseling abilities and skills in our profession. He has a highly developed knack for getting people to cooperate. His perspectives into various counseling and clinical situations, and how to address them, are quite insightful, empathetic, and connective. He has excellent interpersonal skills. In class, Mayur is perceptive, respectful, and sensitive to other classmates presenting issues. Clinically, Mayur has an ability to accurately read into a situation with great depth and respect for the emotional functioning level of his clients. He demonstrates an understanding of the intricacies of working with induced feelings. Mayur is unique in his skills as far as being able to be objective with his performance in the clinical treatment setting. He exudes great potential as a beginning therapist.
Mayur R. is a deeply thoughtful person. I think that he displays a wide knowledge base and can be flexible with his approaches. I also think he is genuinely curious, and that shows in his conversations with others. He wants to know more about the person in front of him and he makes space for that to happen.
I went to graduate school with Mayur and he is a wonderful clinician. He is compassionate and thoughtful and always wants to find a treatment approach that is designed uniquely for the client's needs.
Emily M is an incredible and empathetic listener. She is easy to talk to and has the unique ability to make you feel very seen and understood in every conversation. She is supportive, encouraging, and helps you think of situations in new ways.
Emily is the most genuine person. She treats sensitive situations with empathy and is a great listener. She makes it extremely easy to confide in her and I am always comfortable speaking with her. I highly recommend her!
I am writing this review to speak on behalf of Emily M. She is empathetic, warm, personable, and genuine. She has the intangible trait of being able to quickly connect with others. Emily presents with a friendly and warm demeanor which allows you to feel safe, heard, and accepted when speaking to her. The amount that Emily cares for others is immeasurable and her passion to guide and help others is evident in every interaction.
