“One of the things that probably deters most people and certainly myself from therapy is the ambiguity of how long it would take to see a significant and measurable effect on whatever it might be that ails you. I was tired of going in circles over the last 2 decades so this time when I was seeking help, I specifically looked for a therapist that would deliver results rapidly. After some extensive scouring of yelp and google reviews, I honed in on Dr. Towery. Ever the true skeptic, I didn’t rely on just those reviews. I also clicked through and reviewed every page of his website. What really hooked me was his extremely thorough prospective patient questionnaire and request that you review the Recovery section of his website which details your daily responsibilities as a patient. As fully booked as I already felt on a personal level with a full-time job, homeschooling a child, and a pandemic going on, I knew he was the one I needed to work with because he was serious about helping you. Finding a skilled therapist is only half the battle of helping/improving yourself. The daily commitment to yourself is what sustains the change. Dr. Towery is clearly invested in his patients’ success and it was reflected in every aspect of my interactions with him. However, don’t let this give you the impression that he’s all business and no fun; in fact, one of the things that I enjoyed so much about working with him was that he was able to take heavy/complex topics of discussion and still keep the mood lighthearted and positive while expressing deep empathy and warmth. In my past experience, therapy sessions can be immensely draining but I never felt that way with Dr. Towery and always looked forward to our meetings. After my initial 2 intake sessions where he obtained an in-depth understanding of my background, we began our monthly sessions that always started with a self-rated survey (prior to the meeting) and ended with the same survey (after the meeting) which you sent to him as soon as they were completed. It was shocking to me that Dr. Towery actually assessed his own effectiveness based upon his patients' feedback after every session. I couldn’t believe just how much accountability he possessed. Dr. Towery’s employment of this method allowed him to adapt and further refine his approach before every session, which optimized for the most efficient treatment. He actually cares about getting you the results you’re looking for. To put it lightly, I had a whole laundry list of items I was seeking to address/solution for/accomplish. Given my complex and painful history along with the lofty projected goals that I was seeking to accomplish, this task wasn’t for the faint of heart. However, Dr. Towery deftly tackled each issue with ease—focusing on one issue at a time using concrete methods (that you can always refer back to and employ), consistent reading assignments, and worksheets until you felt you were sufficiently enabled and empowered. The conversations with Dr. Towery and the work that I completed introduced me to new methods that really challenged and changed my perceptions about stressful situations and even of how I perceived myself. Not only did going through this process remove thoughts/beliefs that were no longer serving me, it also built-up and reinforced my sense of self-agency. Thanks to Dr. Towery, I’m now living the life I never thought I could have! Things/potential decisions that used to cripple me no longer have any type of hold on my thoughts. The idea that I would ever achieve such a state of mind was near impossible for me and definitely not one I believe I could reach in less than a year of treatment. Yes, you read that right… IN LESS THAN A YEAR! My personal and professional life has never been more successful and fulfilling and I’m so thankful to Dr. Towery’s for helping to ensure that my goals were met. I finally found a therapist who is just as results driven as myself!! HE’S THE BEST!”

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in... ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25 I hadn't eaten for four days. I was feeling tired and dizzy. It has been tough - I've been sleeping outside and it's so cold, I usually can't even fall asleep well. I felt lonely. I felt depressed. I saw online that this church gave out food for hungry people. And it was free. I couldn't afford any food, but I was hungry, so I went. Thank you for the food. Thanks to the volunteers for being nice to us. I feel there is hope when I see churches do this - to help those in need. They didn't try to get me to do religious things or be converted. (I wouldn't mind praying - but I'm just making it clear that it wasn't one of those "eat and you must convert" kind of deals). Thank you.”

“Love Chef Zhao’s. My guy always gets the Dong po it’s not my thing but it tastes great. We had green beans and sweet and sour chicken and thick noodles. I was skeptical of “thick noodles” but they were great. We try to get one different thing each time and I’m so glad we tried these. Great comfort food. They’ve been our Christmas Eve take out for the last several years and they don’t disappoint.”

“Great staff! Came in and tried on a bunch of stuff and Jose was so helpful, informative, patient and fun! Amazing. Ended up being too indecisive to buy anything, but came back a few weeks later to make a purchase. Not sure the name of the second person who assisted me, but equally helpful and personable!! Great experience, and so far I'm happy with the shoes as well!”

“UPDATE: a school is only as good as its teachers; administration and philosophy can only take things so far of course. Emerson had two great teachers, but for whatever reason it did not re-contract with its upper elementary teacher this year. She was heading towards a decade at Emerson, universally loved by students and parents alike; a high performer, who's students transitioned into middle school effortlessly. Whatever the reason it can't be a good one, and as such I have become hesitant to recommend Emerson. The rest of my review below still applies if they can replace this star and address the administrative woes that led to her loss. Imagine a school in session the same number of days you work, and for 9 hours each day so you can drop off and pick up your child outside of work hours. And no more stringing together camps and vacations to cover school breaks designed to allow farm children time to work the harvests because the school only closes for legal holidays. Now imagine your child wants to be in school that long, and doesn't miss the breaks. Why? Perhaps they appreciate no homework, the same way you like to leave work at work. Or they don't realize the length of the day because its filled with a full curriculum, including art, music, P.E., two languages, sciences, history, and of course the core subjects. They also likely appreciate being able to advance in the core subjects at their own pace. Second grade math, fourth grade reading; wherever your child is and however they progress, Emerson's teachers will help your child learn. And progressing at their own pace means there is nothing to fall out of step with, so you take vacations whenever and for however long you want. The only thing left to wonder is why all schools are not like Emerson. ”
