I rarely take the time to write a review unless I truly feel others should know about my personal experience – and in this case – I am sharing my story so that others can read, see, and understand why going to Daphna was the best decision we made ... A few months back, my wife and I were having terrible issues as a couple … we argued constantly, we rarely spoke, we rarely got intimate, and we rarely communicated on so many issues from what makes me happy to what she wants. There was always that constant feeling between us of resentment … she worked too much, which got in the way of raising our little one … I got mad so much … I lashed out a lot, I would yell, I would become angry, I would drink too much alcohol, I would want to simply not look at her and she, of course, would simply not want to be around me because I was, in all respects, toxic to her, my little one and myself. We needed help – my wife knew that and I knew that, so we agreed to look for a marriage counselor, or what we later learned, a marriage coach! Anyhow, after asking around (of course, discreetly) and researching so many websites, business reviews, business ratings and information, and other types of secondary sources relating to who truly is the best marriage counselor and/or marriage/life coach in town – one name continued to come up – Daphna, Daphna, Daphna. After finding Daphna’s business information, we researched the type of coaching services she provides to couples, read her company brochures and multiple personal stories from married couples she previously helped. In all, we really liked what we learned about what Daphna does, so we agreed to meet with Daphna. After initially meeting with Daphna and learning more about her style and approach to marriage coaching, both my wife and I knew that she was the right fit for us, and because of this, signed up. After signing up for marital coaching services, we then started to meet with Daphna on a weekly basis where she learned about each of us, including what was happening, what triggered us, why both of us did what we did, and so forth … In holding these weekly meetings with Daphna, she was able to help both my wife and I really take a step back to think and learn about why we fell in love, why we felt so strongly in love for one another when I was courting my wife (obviously, like most, when we first started dating), and further, continued with teaching each of us (sometimes in individual sessions) her very unique style of coaching, while also reinforcing one principal after another in subsequent meetings. Daphna would even occasionally draw diagrams and simple sketches which helped both my wife and I see what each of us did, how we did it, did not do, or could help by doing. Overall and with a lot of patience on my end, along with good listening skills, reinforcing good habits learned, and really practicing what Daphna coaches us on, I not only eliminated drinking any type of alcohol (beer, wine, vodka, etc.) from my life (FYI -- I’m sober as of Father’s Day 2022!!!), but also learned to be a better person, more respectful of my wife, a better listener, and ultimately, to see that sincere appreciation for my wife for not only who she is, but why I fell in love with her eleven years ago. Nurturing that love and building on it truly is a marriage saving tool that Daphna was able to instill in not only me, but both my wife and me. Therefore, I can truly say that as I write this review, Daphna not only saved my beautiful marriage, but also saved me from me – which in all honesty means she saved me from dying early from alcoholism and therefore instilled in me the opportunity to cherish more time on this Earth with my beautiful wife and our beautiful family. I stand by my review, and without hesitation, highly recommend Daphna for any married couple that may need some light coaching to get that spark burning again … and this time, keeping it sparking all year around … happily ever after. Thank you again, Daphna … you made the difference, I sincerely mean it. Thank you.

First and foremost I would like to praise her and thank her for all that she did to heal and repair our relationship. My husband and I were searching for guidance, counseling, and a way to improve communication. She listened, gave advise, input and tips on methods of improving our relationship. Even when we thought we were on the verge of giving up hope and no resolution was on the horizon, she never gave up on our relationship. She believed and made us believe. Our love for each other is stronger than ever and we have better communication and look forward to spending, sharing, enjoying our lives together. Thank you Daphna.. you are truly amazing!

My partner and I were at the point of leaving our 7 year relationship. We decided to go to counseling and honestly it was the best decision ever. Daphna helped us through the most tough time in our life. She gave us the tools and helped us both feel heard and validated on how we both felt. I was always afraid of counseling because I hear the horror stories of how couples end up feeling more upset and end up having more problems. This was not at all our experience. After each session we felt happier and lighter and ready to tackle the next week. She definitely saved our relationship.

Hi Luis, this is Linda, Daphna Levy's assistant. I am sorry, but we do not have any Spanish speaking consultant in Bakersfield. We have a native Spanish speaking consultant at our Pasadena office only.
