I saw Dr. Druckman interviewed for a news story on KCRA. Her words made me stop what I was doing, sit down and listen. Dr. Druckman seemed to be speaking directly to me. The next day I contacted her. Through the years, I have turned to Joan at different moments, to help me process, understand and make personal adjustments. I am always amazed at Joan's range of knowledge and how she leads me to a better understanding of myself, my actions and my relationships. Joan is a realist...she provides a comforting understanding but will challenge me as well. At times I wonder how she remembers all these

Excellent therapist who uses the EFT approach. She helped me work through several issues and made the sessions productive and as least stressful as possible. She is a great listener and gives excellent guidance.

We have been seeing Joan for almost six months now... she has helped us make our relationship even stronger than I imagined! She is warm, kind, patient, honest and highly empathetic. She listens with intent. Her "homework" is fun and incredibly helpful. We have the type of partnership we always wanted, but we lacked the skills to develop on our own. We cannot recommend her practice highly enough!!!!

I've received counseling from Dr. Druckman for about a year now to help extract me from, and the after effects of, an abusive relationship. Her counseling style is one of professionalism, kindness, compassion and understanding. She truly cares deeply and makes herself available when the going gets tough and you need someone to talk to. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her gentle and focused guidance through a very difficult time of my life. No hyperbole here - Dr. Druckman is simply the best!
