Notes of appreciation from clients

Individual experiences vary.

  • Dr. Vyas, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all the great support you gave me. Every day, I find myself employing things you taught me, and you know, my life is pretty good! I have friends who envy me because I seem to be enjoying every day and I feel like telling them it’s a conscious choice available to us all. I am feeling strong in myself regardless of how things turn out. I appreciate your significant role in making all this possible. With deep gratitude.

  • Dr. V is a genuinely caring, good person who goes above and beyond to help his clients. He was calm and patient and extremely knowledgeable, receptive to my input, personable. Overall, he was very effective in helping me to get in the right mindset, motivate me to try harder, he taught me practical techniques on how to accomplish my goals, and he was sincerely happy when I was successful. Great doctor. Great person. Would 100% recommend.

  • Dr. V caters to client needs and equips them with tools to cope with their situation and move forward. I’ve had a wonderful experience with him, and highly recommend him to others. Thank you.

  • Dr. V, You have given me a lot of tools and thought patterns that have helped me get through this very tough year. I am thankful for our times together. You’re such a great person and I learned many things from you. Again, you taught me a lot and I will ever be grateful for meeting you.

  • Dr. V, Words cannot express how grateful I am to you for curing my anxiety/fear of flying. I had absolutely NO issues with the flights and was able to talk to the people sitting by me and enjoy the flight. I just felt relaxed and excited about the flight. I know you said you could not guarantee a cure, but I do feel like I am cured. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

  • Dear Dr. V, Many many thanks to you for all your help in the past year. I really enjoyed talking to you. I have learned some skills which will help me in my lifetime. I really enjoyed your counseling. I am still doing breathing exercises daily and meditating. I am so grateful to your counseling which helps me a lot.

  • Dear Dr. V, Thank you so much for working with me these past few months. When I called in to schedule my appointment, I was hoping to get some pointers on how to procrastinate less and set goals and I was hoping to do something like the MBSR course. Needless to say, I think what we have actually discussed and worked on has been much deeper. I am happier than I have been in more than a decade. I think I am starting to have more hope, love, and trust again-all emotions I thought were long lost. Thank you so much for treating me like any other person with kindness and compassion. I really appreciate all your teaching and guidance. With a lot of compassion and thanks.

  • Dear Dr. Vyas, Please know you have given a lot of tools and positive thoughts. I am strong, beautiful, gentle, calm, I am a rock, I am worthy, I am faith filled, and I am sufficient. Once upon a time, I could say these things about myself, but not believe it, today, I believe it. Today, I BELIEVE. Though my daily practices of breathing, meditation and prayer, mysteriously, life and what life deals me has become easier to deal with. It’s simple and uncomplicated. I have become more aware of trusting my intuition and my emotions are stable. My fears easily turn into “gladly” learned experiences that help me grow. I love this body that houses this beautiful soul. Thank you Dr. V for showing me the way with your gentle guidance!

  • Mindfulness helped me along the way my divorce and am grateful to have met you and took your sessions. I came out much stronger and it was perhaps the best thing that ever happened for my being and peace of mind.

  • When I think of Dr. V, I just smile. I am forever grateful because he showed me how to find my bliss. I began going to him during a tough period of my life and immediately felt safe. He gave me the courage to find my center while facing my troubles and pain using his own guided techniques. He is open minded, compassionate, non-judgmental, funny and beyond knowledgeable of both Eastern and Western thought. “The best teachers are those who show you where to look, but don’t tell you what to see.’’ Alexandra K. Trenfor

  • I struggled with a cigarette smoking for over 25 years. I visited with Dr. V for hypnotherapy and threw my remaining cigarettes away. I wish I would have done this earlier.

  • I appreciate all the help these past few months, this therapy has helped me a lot and opened my eyes to things I didn’t even realize about myself.

  • Dr. V was very polite and gave me an opportunity to express myself without judging.

  • Dr. V is an exceptional listener. He has helped me cope with many life challenges and has given me the tools to deal with these challenges so that I can live a life that is calmer and more aware. Thank you!

  • I really appreciate the time and effort you put forth for my son. He is staying away from negative peers, no bad attitude and has a better relationship with me, and now he graduated. Thank you again.

  • Dr. V helped me build an amazing toolkit and patiently worked with me while I develop these skills.

  • I really liked how free I felt speaking to you. The setting was always quiet and peaceful, and honestly, I usually dread coming here. Ugh, therapy, right? But when I actually come here, I always feel better and more relaxed. I’m grateful to be able to come here. It keeps me levelheaded. Thank you for being patient and listening. You provide a soothing atmosphere and I have been able to learn more about myself in it. Thank you.

  • Thank you so much for being incredibly generous with your time and really listening. I especially appreciate the combination of mindfulness and life coaching. I hadn’t believed in myself or my abilities since middle school. I feel much more confident that I will achieve whatever goals I set. More importantly, I feel like I can return to a peaceful state whenever I catch myself. My mind doesn’t feel “cluttered” or overwhelmed anymore. Thank you!

  • Hello Dr. Vyas, Thank you very much for re-channeling my thought process and perspective towards life with encouraging stories and examples. It’s now definitely helping me to see things differently and to go easy on myself. I am also truly grateful for you giving me extra time after my sessions!!

  • Hello Dr. V, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, but your impact in my life did not go unnoticed! I just wanted to say thank you so much for introducing new concepts to me and helping me help myself. Again, thank you for everything you’ve taught me and your patience. I feel like a new person compared to how I was a few years ago because of applying the skills in my life. Keeping an open mind and being vulnerable with myself was very difficult to do, but I am much happier and healthier now that I’ve learned how to do so.
