Testimonials

In their words

These are real reflections from people who did this work with Ross, Jordan, and Sage. Shared with their permission; some names are withheld for privacy.

  • Ross worked with my partner and me after we had realized we couldn't reconcile. We had one of the most difficult challenges before us that parents can have: how to let our daughter grow up with two parents, though they lived far apart. He got us both to see reality, helped us agree to difficult compromises and together we created a plan which made a hard situation seem workable. Ross was compassionate but talked sense into each of us when necessary. We were both able to relate to him, which made it possible for us to communicate for the first time.

  • I have worked extensively with Ross in both individual and couples therapy. I've never met another therapist with such extensive knowledge of the complex dynamics that exist in a relationship. My level of patience, compassion and connection with my partner is better than it's ever been. Things that once felt impossible, like compromising or sharing my honest feelings with her, are now happening on a daily basis. The result is that we are both much happier and less stressed. There is more trust and I finally feel like we are on the same team again.

  • I have worked with Ross for many years. He is a genuine, compassionate therapist, someone who makes you feel valued and heard. He has incredible positive energy which he directs to both the advancement of his own learning and supporting his clients. Down to earth, grounded, warm and intelligent, highly recommended!

  • I have worked with Ross on several occasions and found his knowledge and experience to be very helpful to me as I've faced and worked through mental health issues. His approach is always professional and human. There was an immediate connection between us. He got to the core of issues and gave me practical steps that I have successfully used.

  • With other therapists, I've often felt as if I was running in place. Ross gets things moving. He's extremely intuitive and has introduced me to EMDR, which is one of the most successful tools I've ever used in therapy. Ross's work has helped me resolve issues that have been with me for years.

  • I am both a bodyworker and psychotherapist. I really, really enjoyed and appreciated Ross' ability to bring these two approaches together to address the body's role in therapy, and the mind's role in contracted muscles, and habitual, health negating postures. But what stands out the most in having worked with Ross is you really know who he is. There is no pretense or posturing, just a really good guy who really likes what he's doing and is really good at it.

  • As a career Public Safety Chaplain for over 25 years, I have had the opportunity to make numerous referrals to Dr. Jordan Hamilton, Ph.D. for those public safety professionals and family members who need a specific standard of care that I recognized he could provide. Those who have received treatment or therapy through his practice have, in their own words, been incredibly impressed with his professional demeanor and treatment plans. My personal and professional endorsement of Dr. Hamilton could not be more highly stated. His knowledge, skills, experience and abilities are exceptional.

  • My first week back home I received a priceless gift in Dr. Hamilton; a brilliant, gifted master in the healing of trauma through Developmental Needs Meeting Strategies and EMDR. He gently, firmly and tenaciously led me to the roots of my self and my pain and back through to a goal that most therapists do not do: healing and beyond. Each time we met was action and tangible progress. He is an expert in DNMS and EMDR protocol and I am eternally grateful for his intuition, keen insight, sensitivity and sheer brilliance.

  • I have known Dr. Hamilton for 35 years. He has consistently shown himself to be a man of integrity and compassion. Not only is he very competent in his profession, but he is skilled in walking step by step with his patients, showing them the path needed for their healing. I am proud to be his colleague.

  • I am a physician specializing in mood disorders. I have been referring my patients to Dr. Hamilton for over fifteen years. Without exception, every one of my patients have been helped and have had nothing but the highest opinions. He has been of immense assistance to my most complicated patients when medications alone have been insufficient. You can be assured that Dr. Hamilton will treat you with the utmost care, compassion and competence. Without reservation he receives my highest recommendations!

  • I recommend Dr. Hamilton. He's highly knowledgeable, compassionate and has a wonderfully gentle sense of humor. I've heard nothing but good things about him from others as well.

  • We randomly chose Sage and walked in her office broken, hopeless and proclaimed we would give her one year. Our marriage was hanging on by a thread. Sage is compassionate, kind, caring, everything you would expect and want in a marriage counselor. What makes her special is her ability to hold each person's heart both separate and as a couple. She gives each person a voice, holds you accountable in a loving way and gently guides you to a safer, healthier place. We learned to give and accept forgiveness and in the process heal hurtful wounds. She's enabled us to grow as a couple, by her accepting and loving us both for who we are and believing in our ability to change and grow!
  • My wife and I have had marital issues throughout our long marriage. Twice we tried marriage counseling to no avail. Sage has changed a tense and a generally not fun marriage into one that's enjoyable, where, emotionally, my wife and I are now growing together after many long years. She has an uncanny ability to burrow deep into our emotions, encouraging (never pushing) us into depths we've seldom explored, both individually and interacting as a couple. The difference in our marriage after maybe 15 sessions is amazing. It's difficult for us to believe there is someone better than Sage at her profession. We consider ourselves very lucky to have found her.
  • We started to see Sage for couples therapy at what we thought was the end of our marriage, as a last act of desperation. We were stuck in a really destructive pattern. Going into therapy felt horribly vulnerable. But, Sage has the remarkable ability to acknowledge all the emotions in the room, to validate one person without criticizing the other. She can organize the chaos, to allow pain to exist and then morph into kindness and gentleness. We were each able to feel heard, and now can hear each other. I'm sorry we waited so long to do it, but grateful we are where we are now.
