Find a Therapist in Castro Valley

The book, The Empowered Empath, was revealing, touching and relevant in so many ways. For days after reading it, various passages from the book entered my thoughts and gave me peace, happiness and a stronger sense of purpose and life understanding. From time to time I reread some parts, they are excellent for clearing thoughts and focusing and there are a couple that continue to give me joy each time I read them.

Michael is awesome! Whatever issues I bring to our talks, he’s able to tease out ways I can either navigate through them, or avoid their showing up in my life in the first place.

Vaughn has an amazing talent for seeing straight through to the real issue that is underlying whatever is on the surface. He's compassionate, kind, and gives practical tools to deal with life!

What a great man, went in to talk about a traumatic experience, ended up changing my life completely for the better and establishing better relationships. Go see this man. Takes a few months and careful listening and honest interaction, but you will see the light.

If you read her bio it is so very telling. She is nothing short of amazing. Very personable, professional, and does the right kind of work to heal you. It's been a long road for me and thankfully I found her. In just a few sessions I've made huge strides. If you are dealing with healing from trauma I recommend her 5,000 times over. I love her energy. You cannot go wrong with her. Sometimes I need to bring my son with me and she can accommodate having to bring a child(ren). She has a room they can hang in, which has every art material you could imagine. She makes it very soothing for them as well! After searching high and low for what I know PTSD recovery needs, I was blessed to find her. I am SO grateful for her. She is a wonderful human being.

Ronald Mah has an incredible balance with humor, analogies, insight, and stories that make what he is saying relatable.  He is very, very good at what he does.  I appreciate the way he tells it like it is.  He won't coddle you.  In the final analysis what I learned with my sessions with Ronald Mah was at times painful- but I needed to deal with the painful patterns and history in order to move forward.  From past experiences with therapy, being nice and not challenging me made me feel better at the time but did nothing to make me grow long term.  I grew long term because of my work with Ronald Mah. Also as a side note- I am a teacher.  He often presents at Early Childhood Education conferences.  I have learned so much from him about teaching at those conferences.  He has a ton of free resources on his website that I continue to utilize.  I appreciate Ronald Mah and the work he does so much.

Brandy is an amazing counselor. I have never had a therapist so attentive and informative. She has helped me work through so much and hope this review helps others reach out to her and appreciate her services.
