"June Martin - sex therapist in San Mateo sexually assaulted me twice after graduating high school. I went with her to her boyfriend's apartment. She admitted this truth in an email to me, which. I have as evidence. I was 17/18, she was 18/19. They got out the alcohol and got me drunk, then decided, against my will, to rip all my clothing off - strip me naked - and they forced me into a shower I did not want. They both had their hands all over me to hold me up, in the shower, as I was saying, NO! NO! NO! and pleading with them to STOP! I have never forgotten! She claimed to be my best friend, since grade 7. The 2nd time she tried to force me into a 3-some with another boyfriend. He attacked me, ripping at my blankets and clothes, slobbering all over my face, as I had been sleeping on the couch. I was screaming at him to stop when June finally snapped her fingers, calling him off, and he followed her into the bedroom. I left! That was how they woke me up at 7:30 in the morning. A year or so later, she came to town and I allowed her to stay with me for a few nights. Big mistake! She stayed the night and the next day after leaving her alone in my apartment, I came home to a sheriff's lock on my door - there's a police record of this - due to her having loud loud sex, on my living room floor, with some guy she'd picked up. I want her to apologize, and compensate me for those attacks. She refuses to talk to me. We have kept in touch over the years but when I brought this up finally with her, she sent me one email confessing and since then refuses to speak to me and has blocked my phone calls. I have known her since grade 7 and I have never shared her sleep around ways and she knew that but still insisted on trying to get me into to fall victim to her imposing sex ways. Now she ignores me, and how she hurt me, as she teaches her clients how to have better sex. I have asked her to settle with me quietly but she refuses, so I may have to take her to court. I have been trying not to do that but she leaves me no choice. What would you do in this case? I would never seek her therapy or recommend it. "

"I started seeing Dr. Fracalanza in January 2020, and I can honestly say she is the only provider I have encountered in decades of looking for help who understands the OCD sufferer from the patient’s point of view. Her cognitive behavioral therapy techniques were done in a gradual and effective way which took into account the fear and anxiety that OCD patients suffer. She gave me a framework for dealing with this disorder that really changed my life, and allowed me to live more normally, as well as improve my relations with family and friends. Among doctors and therapists, the attribute of kindness is frequently missing. Katie has that kindness. "

"Pete is easy to talk to, doesn't bullshit and provides both a comfortable space as well as workable tools to help get unstuck from really stuck parts of life. Working with him was both extremely useful and a joy. I would highly recommend him to any family member or close friend."

"The bio on his website seems so impressive with all his achievements and awards as well as titles and published works. I am admittedly a fix-er-upper of a spouse who could use some work. We both could use some TLC to get back on track. We saw him once per week for ore than a year. My spouse and I wound leave almost every appt nit picky, frustrated and angry at each other. Unfortunately that is NOT how we arrived. I felt he was overly difficult with me vs always supporting my spouse with everything. I though maybe it was me, so I made a test situation where he already ruled me to be out of line. Reproduced the same situation exactly except roles reversed. Guess who was bad person again? The inequality I felt caused me to lose all respect for him and the process he was peddling. I observed my marriage deteriorate each week. I had to quit to stop the weekly damage. When I inquired if he could help up learn some tools to foster better communication toward eachother, I was told to find someone else for that since he wasn't going to waste his time. Funny thing is he started something along those lines when we first met. I was amazed. A patient asks for some help and the doctor says its a waste of his time? Don't we as a couple get an opinion on our counseling treatment or preferences?"
