Dr. Cyd Charrow has been my Life Coach for about two years. I have enjoyed working with her immensely and believe that I have made much more progress working with her than I would have on my own. Dr. Charrow has been instrumental in helping me set very specific goals for myself and she has inspired me in achieving both short-term and long-term goals. (We have worked on everything from weight loss to cleaning my den of piles of papers to writing my family history.) I love her insights, which always seem to be right on target. She has helped me identify roadblocks and has guided me in finding ways to overcome those hurdles. She is extremely supportive and she has been especially encouraging as I strive to accomplishment my goals. I highly recommend Dr. Charrow as a Life Coach.

Carol Ann, Your work over the last two years has been fabulous - from losing weight, to organizing a family history to extensive decluttering projects. It is very gratifying for me, as well as you, to see your many documentary "before and after" photos. So - onward we go!

Dr. Charrow is one of the people you want on your side when making an important decision, or when you simply do not know which way to turn. I contacted Dr. Charrow through a recommendation of a family member when facing a difficult decision, regarding my academic studies and my future career. Cyd (if I may) is not only incredibly perceptive, seeming to know what you are facing, as a difficulty, even before you tell her, but she is also an extremely calming, positive, and especially patient person. Simply talking to her about the weather will make you feel better about a rainy day, and she weathers your potential bad mood in a way that will turn it around, usually definitively. As a life coach, my understanding is that Dr. Charrow has a solid base of therapy and psychology, having a doctorate in Social Work and 30 plus years as a social cognitive therapy and coaching experience. You can tell not only by the certificates on her wall and the books in her library, but also by the way she speaks that she truly understands (as much as anyone can) the human psychology. Not only this, but she seems to be hell bent on not only understanding, but moving in a positive direction. One of my favorite things about working with Dr. Charrow was the strong sense of sisterhood that I felt with her. I was recommended to her because in fact, she focuses on women facing difficult life choices, and while my choice didn't necessarily reflect the fact that I am a woman, I felt a strong affinity for her and the way she worked - I felt really comfortable, and at home even. Additionally, during our sessions, she mentioned she practiced Tai-Chi; as someone who has also always been interested in a mixture of Eastern and Western practices, I felt that this was also reflected strongly in the way she spoke to me, and I really valued this in her sessions. Lastly, one of the things I admire the most about Dr. Cyd is that she is a testament to her own work. She has so many different roles, and does so many different things, managing to juggle them all efficiently while applying her own practice to herself and helping others in the process. It is truly my pleasure to recommend Dr. Cyd to you, I could not have done what I've done and I would not be where I am now were it not for her. And to Dr. Charrow herself, I say, thank you - what you did really made a difference.

Dr. Cyd Charrow chose to avail herself of my services here on Thumbtack as a fellow Thumbtack Pro, for her specific needs for a computer technical expert. During our recent interactions I have personally experienced her keen mind, lively personality and careful, caring demeanor. I believe these attributes speak volumes about her innate ability and desire to help others; fundamental characteristics of a well trained, experienced and solid mentor. Before I'm done I just might decide I might benefit from becoming her client! Don't hesitate to call her. Anthony Ingrassia, Owner Computer Rescue & Tutoring Northport, NY USA 302 319-2075

Dr Cyd has the gift & talent to create a warm & safe environment for her clients, whether on an individual basis or in group settings. She shoots straight from the shoulder without judgement or censure. She's approachable, &empathetic to her client's individual "in the moment" situations & experiences.

I'm a university music professor and I teach about 1000 voice lessons a year. Too often, my students suffer with performance anxiety. I have worked with Dr. Charrow as a colleague and friend for several years now. I recently invited her to lead a weekend masterclass with my university students on the issue of dealing with performance anxiety/stage fright. It was a hit! Students are still talking about the strategies they took away and the confidence that it has instilled in their performances. When the time is right, we will have her back. She's great one-on-one and in a group session. Hire her!
