FIACHRA FIGS O'SULLIVAN, MA, LMFT REVIEWS
I find Fiachra has the heart warming ability to entertain, instruct and heal all at the same time. Is it his Irish nature or his timing? I believe it's rare to find a man who can be so clearly masculine yet soft and heart centered at the same time. On one occasion I was working with Fiachra during a group therapy session. It was a particularly vulnerable and emotional time for me. Figs was able to have enough presence to connect with me while coordinating everyone else to provide a healing container. At one point Figs directed everyone to hold me, and then he took me step by step through my rage and grief in ways I had never experienced. This was a real gift to me because as a 6'4" tall man I can feel I am just too big for the world and the people around me. This is especially true if I am feeling grief and frustration. Fiachra guided me into my feelings in a way that I never felt alone or out of control, and coached me to move through a place where I was very stuck. I am grateful and so appreciative of his abilities as a therapist. I highly recommend Figs to anyone who wants to become their most authentic self, is dealing with grief and loss, or just wants the support of a gifted therapist.
Figs is a super sharp and insightful therapist. He’s also deeply sensitive and empathetic. I know him as a colleague, having participated in workshops and professional development trainings with him. He is warm, tuned-in, and perceptive. I appreciate how he uses humor to make it easier to work with challenging emotions. He is easy to connect with, accepting and caring. I am always happy to have the chance to refer clients to him because I know they are in good hands. He does individual therapy and couples counseling / couples therapy in San Francisco and Marin.
The time we spent with Figs was well worth it. He is such a compassionate person and really helps you to reconnect through empathy and understanding. Everyone should have sessions with Figs:)

GAL SZEKELY, MA, LMFT - THE COUPLES CENTER REVIEWS
My husband and I have taken Level I and II couples workshop with Liron and Gal. I must say it may not improved our relationship significantly, but it gave us tools to really see and communicate with one another in a more real way. These tools extend way beyond the couples relationship as it has changed the way I interact with my children and how I experience myself and the world. I was pleasantly surprised by the format of the workshop because it is set up to be an easy follow, with clear content, real examples and question and practices that guide you to go deeper. This is where the real insight and transformation begins. Thank you for guiding us to a more authentic sense of self that has impacted our lives tremendously.
The Love Made Simple workshop is amazing! We can't thank Gal and Liron enough for using their knowledge and talents to create such a powerful course for couples. We loved learning from them, hearing from other couples, and having private mini sessions with the assistant therapists. Every couple should attend this workshop!
Seriously one of the best things I could have invested in for my relationship. My partner and I participated in the Love Made Simple workshop. I didn’t go in with any expectations, just an intention to learn better communication skills and ways to continue growing as a couple. Wow, just wow. I was blown away with the workshop and more importantly, the results! During the workshop we followed a structured packet of information, partook in various exercises, met 1:1 with a counselor, and shared experiences via the group. It was all around an amazing experience and I would 100% do it again and would recommend it to anyone seeking growth/repair in their relationship and even with themselves. My partner and I have committed to apply what we’ve learned in the workshop and I can truthfully say we have never been better. Thank you Gal & Liron for an amazing experience and for your vulnerability and knowledge.

BRENDAN NEFF-HALL, MA, MFT - THE LOVE THERAPIST REVIEWS
I'm so grateful for all of Brendan's help. A wonderful person and an amazing love therapist. <3 Throughout every session, both in person and on video during lockdown, Brendan provided the thoughtful, patient, non judgemental guidance that my partner and I needed to heal, grow and thrive. Brendan created a physical and mental safe space in which to explore our relationship and individual selves. Because Brendan was sincere, attentive, and welcoming of all emotions, we were able to share our true selves during our time and in doing so, better understand both ourselves and each other. In therapy, we learned the tools we needed to more quickly repair, get curious, hold space for our emotions, and explore the root of our triggers and patterns. I Highly recommend working with Brendan!
I have known and worked with Brendan since October 2018. Brendan is a wonderful therapist and human being. He brings masterful skill, amazing insight and deep compassion. He works somatically, interested in depth, accessing emotion, exploring relationship to the body and energy systems. He is highly trained and is always in at least 1 to 2 trainings improving his clinical skills and working on himself. I am in such good hands in my work with Brendan.
Brendan is a trustworthy psychotherapist who operates with confidence, experience, and integrity. I am so thankful that Brendan came into my life. I met him during the very challenging period in love life that had made me down. I wanted to look for external help while attempting to find myself. He helped me to rediscover my life happier with my partner. His Extensive knowledge and advice on relationship is priceless. He is wonderful therapist. Not only he is thoughtful, warm and empathic, he is a sharp, quick, and creative thinker. I'm very grateful for coming across Brendan, because he showed me the way to live happily again!
