Dr. Strakes is highly educated and it shows. Beyond that , her heart is huge and she is with you every step of the way until you find steady ground. She is a survivor for sure and that comes through. She is a bright light in my darkness. Thank you.

Dr. Strakes has been a psychological life line to me for 10 years. She has helped me through my struggle with MS as well as an abusive marriage. The most important gain I have made through my sessions with Dr. Strakes is self-knowledge. In her book, Emotional Survival, she talks about how self-knowledge can liberate us to accept who we are, with all our weaknesses and strengths. I have become more aware of my true emotions and the psychological entrapment of a bad marriage. I have come to realize that the origins of my own actions were due to my past experiences as a child. This has given me relief and made me aware of my own actions towards others. I highly recommend the book Emotional Survival along with sessions with Dr. Strakes. I will always be grateful to her for helping me to become an autonomous person. kgz

Dr. Strakes is a kind caring and compasionate person. Not only did I have a great doctor, but I consider her to be a friend. Some doctors are in this profession just for the money, she is not one of them. She truly cares about your well being and is a wonderful woman. I would recommend her to anyone.
